Software Engineer II - Acquisition and Funnel

About this role

Acquisition and Funnel This team owns RocketLoans.com and the borrower experience from the first landing page through the application funnel. That includes the intake flow, offer-code entry, and refinance pre-qualification. The work directly impacts conversion, revenue, and whether someone gets the loan they came for.

The team is heavily frontend focused and driven by experimentation. You’d work within a shared design system, run A/B tests, and use analytics to understand how users move through the funnel. That includes conversion tracking, form-step instrumentation, session insights, and frontend error monitoring. Performance and stability matter because this is the front door to the business, and any friction in the funnel has a measurable impact.

You'll be a good fit if you think about product and engineering together, care about outcomes instead of just shipping features, and enjoy moving quickly, testing ideas, and learning from real user behavior in short feedback cycles.

As a Software Engineer II, you will be working on an innovative platform that originates personal loans. You will use your experience in software development to write clean, tested, and well-documented code, as well as provide peer code review and mentor other engineers on the team.

You will be part of a team that is empowered to take decisions that have direct impact on our success. You will be in the middle of it all - working with product, implementing new functionality, squashing bugs, maintaining the health of our code, delivering scalable and highly available services, and growing as an engineer. The ideal candidate must have a strong sense of ownership and drive for delivery.

About You Core engineering foundations • 4+ years of experience working with backend programming languages such as Java, C#, or preferably JavaScript/TypeScript

• Familiarity with testing frameworks and concepts such as mocking, stubbing, and contract testing to improve reliability and reduce tight coupling

Growth & mindset • A growth mindset - you’re curious, eager to learn, and willing to try new ideas.

• A hands-on, proactive approach - you don’t wait around for perfect clarity and are willing to roll up your sleeves to get things done.

How you approach your work • Strong ownership and accountability for the work you take on, with a problem-solving, results-driven mindset

• Comfortable collaborating with cross-functional partners (product, design, business) to deliver outcomes and not just code

• Able to communicate clearly, explaining technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
