Job Description - Software Engineer II


Description



Title: Software Engineer II 
Department: Technology / Engineering 
Why Open Lending? 
At Open Lending, we build technology that expands access to fair, affordable auto financing. We’re a fintech at heart—fast-moving, data-driven, and deeply collaborative—where engineers have real ownership, real impact, and real room to grow. If you like solving hard problems, working with modern tech, and shipping software that matters, you’ll feel right at home here. 
   
What You’ll Do 
As a Software Engineer II, you’ll be a hands-on contributor building scalable, cloud-native systems that power our core products. 
  • Partner with product managers, architects, and fellow engineers to design and deliver high-quality Java-based solutions that solve real business problems. 
  • Build clean, readable, and maintainable code with a strong focus on performance, security, and reliability. 
  • Own features end-to-end across the full software development lifecycle—from idea and design through deployment and ongoing support. 
  • Design and consume RESTful APIs and contribute to a modern microservices ecosystem. 
  • Write solid unit and integration tests to ensure confidence in every release. 
  • Participate in an on-call rotation and help drive long-term reliability and operational improvements 
  • Continuously improve our platform by exploring new tools, patterns, and technologies—and bringing the best ideas back to the team. 
  • Contribute to a culture of learning, collaboration, and engineering excellence. 
   
What You Bring 
We’re looking for engineers who are curious, pragmatic, and excited to build. 
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience). 
  • 4+ years of professional experience building Java applications. 
  • Strong command of Java and modern frameworks such as JavaEE/JakartaEE, Hibernate, JAX-RS, and related technologies. 
  • Experience building and testing services using tools like JUnit, WireMock, and Playwright. 
  • Hands-on experience with relational databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL) and familiarity with NoSQL platforms (e.g., CosmosDB). 
  • Experience designing and working with REST APIs and microservices architectures. 
  • Familiarity with containerized environments and orchestration tools like Docker and Kubernetes. 
  • Experience working in Agile teams using modern developer tooling such as GitHub, Jira/Confluence, Maven, Quarkus, CI/CD pipelines, and SonarQube. 
  • Comfortable working in modern AI-assisted development environments (e.g., Cursor IDE or Claude Code). 
  • Strong documentation, communication, and collaboration skills. 
  • A natural curiosity and eagerness to learn, improve, and experiment. 
  
What Success Looks Like 
  • Months 1-2: Quickly ramps up on our domain, tools and systems, delivering small, well-tested contributions while learning our standards and best practices. 
  • Month 3: Independently delivers complete features of moderate complexity, collaborating effectively with product and engineering partners from design through deployment. Demonstrates strong judgment in writing clean, maintainable, and well-tested code. 
  • Months 4-6: Becomes a trusted contributor who owns key services or components, proactively improving code quality, reliability, and test coverage. 
  • Year 1: Consistently delivers high-quality, product-ready software with minimal oversight and is recognized as a dependable engineer with growing system ownership and impact. 
   
How We Work 
  • Agile, collaborative teams with real ownership and accountability. 
  • Modern cloud-native stack and tooling. 
  • Emphasis on clean code, testability, and sustainable engineering. 
  • A culture that values continuous improvement, psychological safety, and having fun while doing meaningful work.
