About the role

Tilt Finance's standard text

Join the Tilt team

At Tilt, we see a side of people that traditional lenders miss. Our mobile-first products and machine learning-powered credit models look beyond credit scores, using over 250 real-time financial signals to recognize real potential. With millions of customers worldwide, we're not just changing how people access financial products — we're creating a new credit system that backs the working, whatever they're working toward.

The Opportunity: Senior Software Engineer, Backend

We’re looking for Senior Backend Engineers who care about building scalable, reliable systems - and who thrive in a collaborative environment. You’ll join one of several product or infrastructure teams, each tackling challenges from decisioning to payments to APIs. Wherever you land, you’ll work on projects that are high-impact, technically challenging, and deeply rewarding.

Tilt is a remote-first company. We drive connectivity through regular company offsites. Travel for company offsites is expected at a minimum 2 times a year.

How You’ll Make an Impact

  • Design and scale backend systems that power our consumer facing products
  • Build and refine APIs that deliver instant, seamless experiences.
  • Collaborate with product, credit/finance, compliance, support, and analytics teams.
  • Contribute to technical discussions, code reviews, and roadmap planning.
  • Drive continuous improvement in code quality, security, and operational excellence.
  • Share knowledge, mentor peers, and contribute to engineering best practices.

Why You’re a Great Fit

  • 3+ years of backend engineering experience (we know careers don’t all look the same — if you’re close, let’s talk).
  • Experience with .NET (C#), or similar frameworks
  • Experience scaling consumer-facing products with significant transaction volumes
  • A collaborative problem-solver who values inclusion, feedback, and continuous learning.
  • Able to effectively leverage AI-powered development tools (e.g., Cursor, Augment, Factory) to enhance productivity, code quality, and collaboration

What you'll get at Tilt

  • Virtual-first teamwork: The Tilt team is collaborating across 14 countries, 12 time zones, and counting. You’ll get started with a WFH office reimbursement.
  • Competitive pay: We're big on potential, and it's reflected in our competitive compensation packages and generous equity.
  • Complete support: Find flexible health plans at every premium level, and substantial subsidies that stand up to global standards.
  • Visibility is yours: You can count on direct exposure to our leadership team — we’re a team where good ideas travel quickly.
  • Paid global onsites: Magic happens IRL: we gather twice yearly to reconnect over shared meals or kayaking adventures. (We’ve visited Vail, San Diego, and Mexico City, to name a few.)
  • Impact is recognized: Growth opportunities follow your contributions, not rigid promotion timelines.
