About our team:
Enova’s Platform Engineering team creates the tools and continuous delivery/integration platform that are used by all of our software engineers. Our goal is to ease the processes by which our engineers build and ship updates and additions to Enova’s globally distributed microservices platform. We seek pragmatic solutions that are powerful but not over-engineered.

We speak the language of full stack open platforms. From the infrastructure that powers our systems to the operating systems that run our applications, all the way up to the applications that drive our business. Our current tooling and CI/CD platforms utilize Jenkins, Chef, Travis CI, AWS and plenty of bash scripting. Our services are written in Rails/Sinatra or Go. In 2018 we plan to begin adopting AWS Lambdas, Docker, Kubernetes, and more.

We pride ourselves on hiring smart and driven people who bring new and innovative ideas to the table. Our philosophy is, "Life’s short. Work some place awesome."

Many of us consider our people to be Enova’s best perk. But to sweeten the deal, we also have a pretty awesome list of conventional (and less conventional) perks and benefits including competitive salaries, health care benefits, a 401K matching plan, a revamped parental leave program (and brand new nursing rooms for our returning mothers!) summer hours, tuition reimbursement and a sabbatical program.

Our goal at Enova is to recruit, hire, develop and maintain a diverse workforce. It is our policy to provide equal employment opportunity for all persons and not discriminate in employment decisions by placing the most qualified person in each job, without regard to any other classification protected by federal, state, or local law.
