In less than 2 years, we’ve saved customers over $100 million in unnecessary interest and fees.\nWe are using AI to unlock the $1.1 Trillion in vehicle equity trapped within cars owned by Americans in the form of a high limit, standard rate credit card for those traditionally excluded from mainstream financial offerings.\nYendo Credit Cards have similar APRs to those issued for prime borrowers with no hidden fees or overdraft charges and help build their customers' credit score. Yendo's credit limits are 4x higher than cards typically available for non-prime borrowers.\nWhat we're looking for\nDesire to work collaboratively. Engineers participate in the product development cycle from start to finish. We operate on the principle that the best products include input from our users and our engineering, product, and design teams.\n\nHelp with raising the bar! We strive to improve our customer experience, our hiring standards, and our engineering practices. As part of a small team, you can meaningfully contribute across all of these fronts.\n\nResiliency. We are not a “me too” product. This requires experimentation and grit to find solutions for our customers’ problems.\n\nWho you are\n5+ years of experience with backend or full stack solutions (e.g., Go (Preferred), TypeScript, Java, Python, or Ruby)\n\nPrefer experience with Postgres, Redis, and AWS, but not required.\n\nEnjoy thinking about systems - their life cycles, edge cases, interactions, and failure modes.\n\nSelf-starter and able to work independently.\n\nExperience in fintech, payments, processing, card networks, banking, or early stage startup is helpful, but not required.\n\nPassionate about financial inclusion and mobility.\n\nWhy join us\nYou can make a real impact to the lives of our customers.\n100 million Americans lack access to sustainable credit and are forced to use predatory loans. Think 500%+ APR alternative financing options such as Auto Title, Payday, Pawn, and Personal Loans. Each year almost 25% of adults are excluded from the mainstream credit system, severely inhibiting their chances of accessing affordable borrowing, getting a mortgage, or even an auto loan.\nOur executive team has multiple exits under their belts, having founded $100M+ revenue companies. Additionally, many executives have held leadership roles at public comapny and unicorn startups alike.\nWe are backed by leading VCs, accomplished entrepreneurs, respected philanthropists, and founders from across the U.S. Our backers are the minds and investors behind the success of the Apple Card, Brex, Dave, Scribd, Parse, Canva, Robinhood, Flexport, Gusto, Reddit, Notion, LinkedIn, among others.\nYendo is based in Dallas, Texas with a nationwide team. This role is remote or in our office in the Deep Ellum area of Dallas.\nCompetitive Compensation\nEquity\nInsurance\n401K\nUnlimited PTO\nOur core values\nOur customers are our compass - We prioritize our customers' needs in every decision, guiding our work to solve real problems and create meaningful solutions. We make a positive impact by enhancing their experiences and addressing what truly matters to them.\n\nTrust is earned, not assumed - We communicate openly, honestly, and with humility, earning trust through integrity and clarity in all interactions. By prioritizing straightforward communication and actions, we build strong relationships and ensure our intentions are always understood.\n\nDiverse perspectives, stronger outcomes - We serve diverse customers and believe that different perspectives make us stronger. Committed to equity, we value each team member, ensuring all voices are heard and respected. By fostering an inclusive culture, we empower fair and meaningful contributions to drive our success.\n\nEmbrace Growth Together - We are drivers, we move with urgency, and we strive for excellence in everything we do. Our customers deserve the best, so we hold ourselves accountable to high standards. Through proactive ownership, thoughtful execution, and a commitment to bettering ourselves and our work every day, we deliver results that make a lasting impact.\n\nOwn every outcome - Rooted in expertise and creativity, innovation is at our core. We challenge norms, push past limitations, and seek to redefine boundaries. Yesterday’s plan may be outdated given today’s information and by questioning assumptions and challenging one another, we stay agile and open-minded, turning every situation into an opportunity to delight our customers.\n\nCourage to challenge - Low ego, coaching, and mutual respect are the foundation of our teamwork. We empower each other and solve problems collaboratively without blame, creating a space for everyone to thrive and contribute to our collective success.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4831,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["401k plan","Equity","Unlimited PTO"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Cards & Card Issuing","Consumer Loans & Pawnshops"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-12T03:11:48Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 5","filings_12m":5,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":127500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-29T16:27:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":15,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.524,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":94,"expected_fill_days":38,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-01T06:10:25Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":220000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/yendo-senior-backend-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/yendo-senior-backend-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-01T17:50:53Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":27331,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-02T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":687682},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=687682"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fyendo-senior-backend-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fyendo-senior-backend-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fyendo-senior-backend-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/yendo-senior-backend-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fyendo-senior-backend-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":790204}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"yendo.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":790204},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
