Senior Full-Stack Engineer, Experiences

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

Nearly 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 tech company changing the retirement industry. We’ve raised $500M and are backed by leading investors. Most recently, by funding from BlackRock as well as many other top investors: TPG (The Rise Fund) with SoftBank led our Series D, Glynn Capital, NewView Capital, USVP, Wing, Uncork, and others.

As an engineering organization, we seek to redefine the retirement services space with software that drives toward an effortless, efficient, scalable, and highly reliable cloud based experience. 

We:

• Value continuous improvement - we care about documentation, security, durability, not just throwing features over the wall.
• Help each other be better engineers - we leave things better than we found it.
• Aspire to collaborate seamlessly - we ensure our software is improving the customer experience.

Here, you won't just code; you'll collaborate with domain experts, drive the design and delivery of robust 401(k) servicing systems, and champion the happiness of our users, both internal and external. Your expertise will elevate processes, reduce manual interventions, and ensure our systems are rock-solid and ready to scale. Embrace ownership, make informed trade-offs, integrate across our engineering spectrum, and contribute to the blueprint of our evolving engineering landscape. Let’s innovate, collaborate, and make an impact together!
