Your financial future shouldn't depend on your race, background, or zip code. Yet 45 million Americans remain "credit invisible," while countless others face denials, evictions, and predatory interest rates regularly. Esusu is changing that.
As a financial technology and data platform, we're revolutionizing financial health, identity services, and inclusive decision-making for individuals and businesses alike.
Our impact speaks volumes:
- $50 billion in credit activity facilitated
- 5 million+ rental units in our network
- Trusted partnerships with leading real estate companies, government entities, fintechs, banks, and employers
The Engineering Team
We are building a team of owners and changemakers. It is not enough to have the intention to do good –Esusu engineers translate intent into action and outcomes. We believe that lone heroes cannot accomplish our ambitious goals. Lasting change requires work by determined and collaborative individuals with a customer-first mindset. Our engineers aim to delight our customers and drive our business and team forward by leveraging their technical skills, empathetic curiosity, and teamwork.
Our back-end is microservice-based, hosted in AWS, and mainly written in Go. Our front end is based on React and written in Typescript. Our mobile apps are built using Flutter. Our data infrastructure is based on MongoDB, PostgreSQL, S3, Sagemaker, Snowflake, Talend, and mainly written in Python.
We are continuously innovating and always open to new solutions. Because Esusu is a financial services company, we are obsessive about every aspect of compliance and security. We embrace a DevOps environment where the team is responsible for the full spectrum of development, testing, deployment, and maintenance, including working with product and business operations teams to create customer-focused solutions. Even though we are 100% remote, Esusu’s culture is intensely collaborative.
The Opportunity
We are looking for an experienced Senior Engineer to play a pivotal role in the future growth of our company.

You will be working on our core data collection systems for enterprise customers, benefiting millions of people.
