Senior Software Engineer
About the Role
As a Senior Software Engineer at Posh, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping the intelligence layer that powers the future of banking experiences. You’ll be building the backbone of our AI-driven ecosystem — the systems that make our conversational assistants smarter, faster, and more capable of understanding and solving real customer problems for financial institutions.
You will drive the development and enhancement of our client-facing platform. Your primary responsibility will be designing, implementing, and deploying key dashboard changes and features that significantly enhance the end-to-end user experience for our clients. You will own complex technical challenges, ensuring the portal is scalable, highly performant, and delivers exceptional value.
This isn’t a role for passive implementers. You’ll collaborate closely with product and ML teams to innovate across our platform, lead technical initiatives from design to deployment, and guide other engineers toward technical excellence. You’ll work in an innovative environment where curiosity, craftsmanship, and a bias for action are celebrated — and where your work will have an immediate, measurable impact on how financial institutions serve their customers.
