Enova’s hybrid work model allows employees to work in the office T, W, and TH with the option to work from home on Monday and Friday.

About the role:
As a Lead Software Engineer or Lead Software Engineer in Test, you’ll be designing and implementing technical solutions to business problems. You’ll collaborate with other engineers to build the best systems for the problem at hand while mentoring junior developers. Most problems have multiple solutions and we need your expertise to figure out which one is best and drive to completion. In addition, you will work with Product Management, Analytics, and Operations to deliver business value.  

Our most successful Lead Engineers are able to tackle a variety of tasks from designing microservices, operational issues, production debugging, risk mitigation and management, and the ability to pair with others outside of your immediate team in order to accomplish any task.

We're excited about you if you have:

• 5+ years of experience in a full stack development role
• Proficiency in one or more object-oriented programming languages.
• The ability to solve problems in more than one language, and know exactly why one of them is better
• Expertise with building software features, enterprise architecture, and API integration to facilitate first in class software.
• Project management skills, specifically the ability to oversee projects end-to-end, estimate work, and break up problems into deliverable parts.
• Experience developing and maintaining automated tests and frameworks using open source tools and technologies and proven ability to scale those to multiple teams within engineering.
• Experience managing test infrastructure and strategy.
• Deployed multiple web applications from a full-stack perspective.
• Experience collaborating with product managers to plan and scope products iteratively. 
• A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience

About our Software Engineering Team:

Our Software Engineering team is one of the largest in Chicago. We put the “Tech” in FinTech and are accountable for developing top notch products for our customers. We are structured into full-stack Agile teams, each aligned to core business lines and services, but no team is a silo. Our collaborative environment promotes continuous learning and innovation across our teams:

Product - We build high quality applications and services at every level, from customer facing to backend accounting and payment solutions. We strive to make the customer experience, throughout the entire lifecycle of their loan, to be as seamless and as simple as possible. 

Data and Decisioning - We work on building pipelines and tools to help get data quicker to the decision makers and model builders, focusing especially on that “last mile” of data — understanding the business need for data across multiple groups and then using our software / AWS skills to develop data solutions to meet that need.

Platform- We enable faster, continuous, and safer development by building and maintaining tooling and solutions that address engineering challenges across our application platforms.

We primarily code in Ruby, Go and Java. Not Familiar? No problem! We want engineers from diverse backgrounds and have created a self-paced training program to get you up to speed during your first few weeks with us. Beyond this, our teams organize hackathons and tech talks for additional learning, monthly town halls to keep everyone ‘in the know,' affinity and advocacy groups, and even a tech pumpkin carving contest!

Our business is growing and we need smart, curious, passionate folks from all backgrounds to help us build the technology that makes us successful. This is where you come in! Are you ready to grow with us?
