About the Role

At LearnLux, you will build a product that changes lives. Our mission is to empower people to take control of their financial future, whether that means getting out of debt, buying their first home, or preparing for retirement. As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll have the opportunity to shape this mission by building features that directly impact millions of lives and contribute to a platform that is revolutionizing how people access fiduciary financial guidance.

In this role, you’ll work on complex challenges that come with scaling a global platform, including frontend architecture, data architecture, backend integrations, and cloud infrastructure. Your contributions will support a scalable, secure, and high-performance product.

We’re a small, fast-moving team where your voice carries. As a Senior Engineer at LearnLux, you’ll have a seat at the table from day one - not just building the product, but shaping it. You’ll collaborate directly with Product, Design, and other teams to influence what we build, why we build it, and how it comes to life. You’ll help define elegant technical solutions to meaningful problems, ensuring that every line of code delivers value to the people we serve. This is a rare opportunity to leave your mark on a platform that’s improving lives, while growing alongside a team that values initiative, curiosity, and craftsmanship.
