Since our founding, we’ve delivered over $1 billion in funding to more than 1 million customers and saved them over $500 million. At Possible, we’re building a new kind of consumer finance company, one that helps people stay out of debt rather than profit from keeping them in it.
About the Role
We’re looking for Senior Backend Software Engineers, to join our team in Seattle. You’ll design, build, and own high-performance services used by hundreds of thousands of real customers. You’ve built consumer products at scale, you take pride in what you ship, and you know how to work well with others to get complex things done.

What You’ll Do
Design, build, and maintain microservices using Java, Spring Framework, and gRPC
Lead complex technical projects from conception to production
Mentor other engineers and contribute to architecture decisions
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ship new features
Write high-quality, well-tested code and conduct thorough code reviews
Own production issues through to resolution
What We’re Looking For
7+ years of professional software development experience
5+ years with Java and Spring Framework (Spring Boot, Spring Cloud)
Strong experience with gRPC and protocol buffers
Deep familiarity with microservice architecture and AWS
Experience building consumer products at scale
Hands-on experience integrating or building with AI technologies
Strong communicator who thrives in a collaborative, distributed team
Nice to Have
Event-driven architecture experience (Kafka, RabbitMQ)
Payment processing or financial systems background
GraphQL implementation experience
CI/CD experience (Jenkins, GitLab CI)

With the backing of our venture investors— Union Square Ventures, Canvas Ventures, Euclidean Capital, and Unlock Venture Partners — a dedicated following of hundreds of thousands of customers, and an extraordinary team, we are unwavering in our fight for financial fairness. As one of only a few FinTech Public Benefit Corporations, we’ve baked our dual dedication to building a profitable and socially impactful company into our charter; we only succeed when our customers do too. Give us a shout if you’d like to help us ship financial products that protect consumers from predatory lending practices and promote economic health.

Possible Finance Insights
What We Do
Possible Finance is on a mission to make financial health possible for everyone. We build products for the millions of Americans who live paycheck to paycheck, face unpredictable income, or can't get a fair shot from traditional banks and credit systems — people who are routinely ignored or penalized by mainstream financial institutions. That's why our products are designed differently. We offer a growing suite of short-term and installment credit options with clear terms, flexible repayment, and no predatory fees. And because a credit score alone doesn't tell the full story, we underwrite using cash-flow and behavioral data, giving people access to credit when others won't. We take a compliance-forward approach to everything we build. In a highly scrutinized industry where many competitors struggle or shut down, designing products that protect customers and hold up to regulatory standards isn't a constraint. It's how we earn trust and stay in the game long-term. Since founding in 2017 in Seattle, we've served over 1.5 million customers and funded more than $1 billion in loans. And we're just getting started — expanding our products, serving more customers, and pushing further every day to end the debt cycle and help more people unlock economic mobility. Come build with a team of mission-driven colleagues and do the most meaningful work of your career.
Why Work With Us
Traditional financial institutions weren't built for the customers we serve — and it shows. Possible was created with those customers in mind: fair underwriting, transparent products, and a genuine commitment to their financial wellbeing. We believe access to credit shouldn't be limited to a select few — and we're actually doing something about it.
