At January, we're transforming the lives of borrowers by bringing humanity to consumer finance. Our data-driven products empower financial institutions to streamline their collections, providing borrowers with straightforward and compassionate solutions to regain financial stability and control over their lives. We're not just expanding access to credit. We're restoring dignity and paving the way for millions to achieve financial freedom.
About the role:
The Client Activation team is committed to revolutionizing the client experience by developing innovative tools and experiences that empower our clients to maximize their account returns. By enhancing client-facing product experiences and supporting internal users, we aim to increase profitability, optimize account servicing ROI, and introduce new services to improve our clients' collection strategies.
Your Impact
Senior Software Engineers at January are not just responsible for writing code; they own product and team outcomes, advocate for clients, and help other engineers grow. Here’s how you’ll make an impact:
- Technical Leadership: Lead by example in implementing sophisticated software solutions, setting standards for code quality, and promoting best practices such as test-driven development, code reviews, and refactoring to maintain high standards of maintainability and scalability.
- Mentorship and Collaboration: Act as a mentor to less experienced engineers, fostering a culture of learning and growth within the team. Facilitate knowledge-sharing sessions and contribute to a collaborative team environment.
- Strategic Contribution: Engage in architectural discussions, contribute to roadmap planning, and provide insights that influence the direction of our projects and technology choices.
As our company continues to grow, you will have opportunities to be involved in scoping, architecting, and implementing new product lines, potentially building new lines of business from scratch.
What You’ll Work On
- System Design: Design a system that ingests client rules and strategy preferences, enabling other teams to personalize the experience for our creditors' borrowers.
- ML Integration: Integrate an ML-driven strategy engine into our client experience that tailors collections strategies for each client's needs.
- Client Experience Development: Develop a sleek, new client experience by migrating our legacy client portal to the new client experience.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with the Compliance Team to ensure audit tools meet internal standards, the Customer Success Team to incorporate client needs into new tools, the Borrower Acquisition Team to align communication strategies, and the Platform Team to ensure the robustness and scalability of our systems.
What You Bring to the Table
- Advanced Data Modeling & System Design: Extensive experience in designing scalable systems and migrating legacy systems to modern architectures.
- Project Management: Proven ability to navigate ambiguous, complex projects and mentor junior engineers in project management best practices.
- Technical Expertise: Proficiency in Python, React, and Postgres, with additional experience in productionizing ML models being a plus.
- Collaboration and Mentorship: A strong commitment to mentoring and fostering a collaborative team environment.
You may be a fit if you value:
- Genuine collaboration. We recognize and explicitly reward feedback, alignment, and learning from each other.
- Managers as advocates. You’ll report to leaders invested in your growth and promotion, not just their own. Managers only succeed when their teams thrive.
- Outcomes over output. We value finding ways to do more with less, working smart instead of burning out.
- Product ownership. Engineers are owners, not mercenaries. Everyone plays a role in discovering, advocating for, and implementing product ideas.
- Technical quality. We work collaboratively with product to ensure great outcomes without sacrificing quality. Sustainable development is a first class priority.
We find that candidates who perform well in this role often have 5 - 7 years of full-stack software development experience. However, we encourage you to apply for this role even if your experience isn’t an exact match. We value professional development and on-the-job learning!

Frequently Asked Questions
- We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
- Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
- The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
- Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
- We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
- We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
- From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
- We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
- If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
- EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
