Job Description

Fortify is modernizing student financing.

We're looking for a full-stack engineer who's excited about fintech, capital markets, and product to join us in opening up access to education.

About us:

Fortify helps students succeed by giving them more affordable ways to pay for their education, and then supporting them after they've graduated.

Since COVID, access to credit has collapsed, and students at all kinds of schools - from at trade schools to major universities - need financing options to afford their tuition. Fortify exists to help educational institutions run these financing programs more effectively, handling everything from financial aid and scholarships to payment plans and institutional loans. We make student financing simple - but we also go beyond financing, to help our students be successful after they've graduated.

We're building for those who have the ambition, motivation, and wherewithal to go to school, but are lacking the resources.

Fortify is backed by Pear VC. We're a small, very well-capitalized company.

You'll be joining a small team with a lot of expertise in fintech and lending: Both of our cofounders are second-time founders, having started two separate venture-backed companies in the space, and one was an early hire at SoFi.

About this role:

  • You'll be a full-stack engineer building Fortify's core financing platform.

  • You'll be given significant autonomy over new products and will own major launches.

  • You'll work on a very small team, and have lots of opportunities to own design & product work if you like.

  • You'll help fulfill our mission of expanding access to education and promoting economic mobility.

What you might work on:

  • Owning the architecture and launch of an entire new product, such as a financial aid tool to help students more easily apply for federal aid (FAFSA) or state aid.

  • Working on our online financing application for students who need loans, scholarships, or aid to make their experience smoother.

  • Building tools to help promote financial literacy for our students or to help them find job opportunities more easily after they graduate.

Nice-to-haves:

  • You have had significant ownership over production code at a tech startup.

  • You have outstanding written communication skills and enjoy product work as well as coding.

  • You're excited about fintech and working on critical code that processes and moves money.

  • You have experience with our tech stack: React, Python, and Postgres.

Growing at Fortify:

If you're interested in fintech, this is a unique opportunity to learn about lending, capital markets, and payment processing.

As always, there's lots of early-stage flexibility to create your own role and define what you'd like to work on. There will be lots of opportunity for you to own major new products, make key design decisions, to interview users & customers, and to grow into other areas of the business as we scale up rapidly.
