Staff Software Engineer

Nav is the leading credit and financial health platform used by more than 2.4 million small business owners in the United States.

We’re on a mission to give every small business owner the chance to succeed. The team views each day as an opportunity to challenge the norm, push boundaries, and create meaningful products, services, and experiences that make a positive difference for small business owners each and every day.

At Nav, our team is just as diverse as the customer base we serve. And, that’s something we’re incredibly proud of. We value individualism just as much as we do hard work, talent and smarts.

Working at Nav isn’t just a job — it’s an opportunity to gain invaluable experience, work with dedicated professionals, and make a real, lasting impact.

If you’re ready to be part of a team that’s driven by heartfelt purpose and data, let’s talk.

We are seeking a Staff Software Engineer to join our new Underwriting team.

• A track record of successfully delivering maintainable backend systems in a modern environment (Github, Kubernetes, continuous delivery).
• Experience programming in Java, Go or Python. Active interest in learning those languages if you don’t know them all.
• Relentless problem solver.

YOU WILL:

• Maintain and expand Nav’s Bookkeeping and Cash Flow Insights products.
• Create and manage integrations with Nav data partners.
• Transform partner data into risk attributes that can be put to use in Nav’s credit and fraud risk systems.

More about Nav

Inclusion at Nav:

At Nav, we celebrate what makes our employees unique because the businesses we serve are progressively diverse and distinctly original. Navericks are diverse, side hustlers, immigrants, veterans, queer, and we push generational boundaries. We are college dropouts, PhDs, special needs parents, allies, pet owners and community leaders. Navericks are human. We are committed to upholding a safe, supportive environment where everyone matters. We are committed to making a better future for all of us. We have created a workplace where people of all backgrounds can express their identities authentically. To put it simply, we want you to be proud to be you.

Our Compensation Philosophy is simple but powerful:

At Nav, we are transparent about our total rewards, including pay, across all levels and roles. We believe great, enduring relationships are grounded in trust and transparency. Compensation shouldn’t be a distraction, and employees should understand how pay and career advancement decisions are made. Providing equal pay for equal work is table stakes for being a great place to work. Gender and ethnic inequity should only be something that our children read about in history books. We believe providing Navricks with company ownership, competitive pay, and a range of meaningful benefits is the start of creating a culture where people want to give the best they’ve got — not because they’re simply making money, but because they’ve fallen in love with our vision, mission, values, and team.

The base salary for this role is targeted between $175K - $205K per year. The final offer amount is determined by your proficiencies within this level.

Our impact on you:

Competitive Pay. Company Ownership. Unlimited Vacation. Benefits Day One. 6 Weeks Paid Parental Leave. Work From Anywhere (yes we were distributed before it was cool). Flexible Work Arrangements. Free Telehealth and Telemental Health For All Employees. Employee Networking and Events. Community Network Groups (women’s, PRIDE, culture). Meaningful Perks and Rewards.

A Naverick’s DNA:

• We look at the future and say “why not”; we see possibilities where others see problems or routines. We show the way ahead and are committed to achieving ambitious goals.
• We practice straight talk and listen generously to each other with empathy. We value different opinions and point of views. We ensure that we connect outside as well as inside to learn from others and inspire each other.
• We hold ourselves accountable for delivering results. We choose to not to be a victim of circumstance. We make decisions & take responsibility so that we can act & support each other, rather than adopting defensive, and “finger pointing” behaviors.
• As leaders we motivate & engage our teams to undertake beyond what they originally thought possible, by developing our teams & creating the conditions for people to grow and empower themselves through enabling & coaching.
