Senior Software Engineer, Integrations

United States, Remote

hi-logo

Human Interest is on a mission to ensure that people in all lines of work have access to retirement benefits. 

More than half of all working Americans are not saving enough for their future. Too often, it’s because they are employed by a company that doesn’t offer a retirement plan. Human Interest is changing that by making it affordable and accessible for small and medium-sized businesses to offer employees a path to financial independence through retirement savings.

We’re a high-growth fintech company changing the retirement industry. We are backed by a number of investors. This includes funding from Marshall Wace and Baillie Gifford, as well as top investors such as BlackRock, TPG (The Rise Fund), SoftBank, Glynn Capital, NewView Capital, USVP, Wing, Uncork, and more.

About the role

As a Senior Software Engineer on our Integrations team, you will build integrations and automate processes that manage connections to hundreds of payroll providers and other 3rd parties that make up the backbone for servicing 401(k) plans and making our customers happy. You will build robust systems that are observable, maintainable, and scalable to earn and keep our customers’ trust.

What you get to do every day

  • Build robust infrastructure to support data exchange for more than half a million participants.
  • Explore third-party payroll systems to learn how our partners share their data with us.
  • Interface with third party providers in the space to collaborate on technical solutions
  • Write clean, high-quality code and tests to keep our system fast, reliable, and monitorable.
  • Participate in development life cycle activities like design, coding, testing, and production release.
  • Contribute to our ever evolving engineering standards, tooling and processes.
  • Coach and mentor junior engineers in our organization to help raise the bar in innovation, efficiency and technical capability.
  • Contribute to our SOA and be a valuable member of the team that builds new services from scratch.

What you bring to the role

  • Minimum 6 years of professional experience building software for backend systems.
  • Your experience is in building, enhancing, and maintaining scalable backend technologies and infrastructure for RESTful API based data exchange.
  • Strong communication skills; discussing complex technical concepts to engineers and non-engineers is no problem to you.
  • You have a strong desire to learn, think creatively, and share knowledge with others.
  • You write understandable, testable code with an eye towards maintainability.
  • You have a proactive and empathetic mindset - you love to roll up your sleeves to fix problems for our customers.
  • Completed formal training in computer science related discipline (Bachelors or Masters preferred).
  • You thrive in a remote environment

Please consider applying to this position even if you do not meet 100% of the requirements listed above.

Nice to have

  • While you are an expert in backend systems, you are not afraid of the frontend
  • You regularly use AI tools like Claude and Augment in your daily work 
  • You develop in TypeScript, node.js, or other Javascript languages running on cloud-based platforms like AWS or GCP, and have working familiarity with observability frameworks such as Datadog or NewRelic.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
