About Thrive Financial
Thrive Financial is a fast-growing, pre-Series A fintech that partners with banks to originate consumer installment loans nationwide. We combine strong technology, rigorous compliance, and thoughtful product design to deliver responsible lending solutions that help merchants close more deals and give consumers transparent access to credit.
We build software that sits at the intersection of regulated financial systems, real-world business workflows, and scale. That means our engineers don’t just write code — they help shape how the business operates, along with the value that it delivers.
About the Role
Thrive Financial is looking for a Software Engineer to join our growing engineering organization. This role is ideal for an engineer who is solid in their fundamentals, eager to grow, and excited to take on increasing ownership as they develop their craft.
As a Software Engineer, you’ll work closely with senior engineers and product partners to deliver high-quality features, improve existing systems, and learn how to operate effectively in a regulated, production-critical environment.

What We’re Looking For:
- 2–4 years of professional software engineering experience (or equivalent hands-on experience)
- Experience building applications using Node.js and TypeScript
- Familiarity with relational databases such as MySQL and basic data modeling concepts
- Exposure to cloud infrastructure, ideally AWS

Why Join Thrive:

- The chance to work closely with subject matter experts who have exited the industry previously, as well as product and technology executives and leaders that have scaled numerous organizations and individuals in hands-on ways
- Support and mentorship from experienced engineers
- Exposure to complex, real-world problems in a regulated domain
- Fully remote work environment
- Competitive compensation, equity, and benefits
