Self Financial is a venture-backed, high-growth FinTech company with a mission to increase economic inclusion and financial resilience by empowering people to build credit and build savings.

We're looking for people who share our passion and are driven to tackle challenges, find solutions and make the financial space better for the communities we serve.

Our team is passionate about challenging the status quo of the credit industry by providing people accessible tools to take control of their credit. Executing on our mission requires deep collaboration across our teams to ensure our products reach the people who can benefit from them the most, particularly the 100 million+ Americans who have no or low credit.

We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. To that end, we seek to recruit, develop and retain the most talented people from a diverse candidate pool.

At Self Financial, we believe access to credit creates access to opportunity. More than 100 million Americans have no or low credit which limits their housing, employment, and long-term financial mobility.

Engineering at Self exists to change that.

We are a mission-driven organization built on ownership, experimentation, and accountability. We move quickly, measure what matters, and hold a high bar for quality because the systems we build directly impact our members’ financial futures.

Leadership at Self is about influence, not hierarchy.

As a Senior Engineering Manager, your decisions will shape our business performance and engineering operations.

At Self, managers are empowered to:

Set standards, not just follow them
Drive operational improvements across teams
Make principled, data-informed decisions
Influence how Engineering operates beyond their immediate scope

If you’re looking for a role where your leadership meaningfully shapes both product performance and organizational maturity then this is it.
