Associate Software Engineer

Location: Austin, TX
Listed: Today

About the Role

You'll join CBA early in your career and learn how a regulated fintech product is built, shipped, and maintained. You'll implement, develop, and test software, collaborating with senior engineers to understand project requirements and complete assigned tasks. You'll also work alongside product managers, QA, and DevOps, and use AI tools like Claude every day to write code and move the product forward.

What you'll do

Build new features and enhancements for the Credit Builder Account, and feel comfortable raising questions when something is unclear.
Ship functional, secure Python code, REST APIs, and integrations with in-house and third-party services and SQL databases, collaborating through Git (branches, pull requests, code reviews).
Debug and resolve issues by digging in and understanding the root cause, not just patching the symptom.
Use good judgment: ask questions, weigh tradeoffs, flag risks, and keep our work aligned with compliance requirements as a regulated fintech.
Own what you ship. Use Claude and other AI tools to move faster, but review, understand, and stand behind every line of code.
Partner with product managers, QA, DevOps, and teams across the company to deliver on product goals.
Keep growing: take feedback from code reviews in stride, learn from mistakes, and stretch into harder problems over time.

What You Bring

Associates, Bachelors, or Masters in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent internship, project, or hands-on experience.
Proficiency in Python, with a solid grasp of core data structures and algorithms (you can explain why one approach is better than another).
Working knowledge of REST APIs.
Experience with SQL databases.
Familiarity with Git and collaborative development workflows.
Understanding of unit testing and how to apply it.
Clear communication and a willingness to ask questions, take feedback, and learn quickly.

What Separates You

Relevant software engineering internships or project work.
Hands-on experience with AWS or another cloud provider.
Understanding of CI/CD and how code actually gets deployed, including the broader software development life cycle.
Real exposure to AI-assisted development (such as Claude) in school, internships, or personal projects.
