About Raise: 

Raise started with a simple idea – that people don’t dream about saving money, they save money to realize their dreams.  An infectious and powerful concept, Raise offers the opportunity for everyone to live a life of more.

Our software engineers are solving problems at scale for our online, gift card marketplace. Our user base and e-commerce transactions are growing at exponentially. The challenges of keeping our services running 24x7, and adding new features to accelerate our business, all while moving incrementally to a continuous-deployment, microservice architecture are all awesome problems to solve. An understanding and commitment to our team approach to software development is of primary importance. Teams build software here. Besides obvious technical strengths, we look for passion for well-crafted software, professionalism, drive to learn new technologies, the joy of building solutions for our business and users, and the desire to cultivate a challenging, innovative, and supportive engineering culture.

Engineering teams at Raise have a great deal of autonomy and independence, with real ownership of the products and features they build. This role requires a unique balance of software-development skill and product sense — so the ideal candidate will have experience building substantial customer-facing products or services.
