Product Software Engineer - Dwolla Dashboard

Dwolla, a pioneering FinTech company founded in 2008, is seeking a backend-leaning full-stack engineer to join their Dashboard team. This role offers a unique blend of backend (50%) and frontend (20%) development, with the remaining time dedicated to collaborative efforts.

The position sits within a tight-knit, cross-functional Dashboard team in a ~35-person Technology organization. Engineers at Dwolla work on meaningful projects that process billions in payments annually, with code shipping to production daily. The role involves building Scala microservices, developing Next.js features, and creating AI-powered solutions for payment processing and customer support.

Key projects include Dashboard modernization, building an AI-powered support agent using Model Context Protocol (MCP), and creating advanced reconciliation tools for business transactions. The tech stack combines Scala with Cats/Cats Effect for functional programming, AWS infrastructure, and modern frontend technologies like Next.js and TypeScript.

What sets this role apart is the true ownership model - there's no QA department, and engineers own their code from commit to production. The company embraces AI-forward engineering practices, using tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and JetBrains AI for enhanced productivity. With a remote-first culture, competitive salary range ($78,500 - $149,100), comprehensive benefits including unlimited PTO, and a strong emphasis on work-life balance, Dwolla offers an environment where engineers can make a significant impact while growing their careers.

The ideal candidate should have 2+ years of production software experience, strong fundamentals in typed languages and JavaScript, and a passion for using AI tools to amplify their impact. This role is perfect for someone who thinks like a product owner, balances speed with reliability, and wants to work at a company that genuinely lives its values while solving real-world payment processing challenges.
