Red Ventures is looking for a Software Engineer to join our Banking Client Services organization. You’ll build and operate financial services web platforms for our banking partners using Next.js, hosted in high-availability multi-cloud Kubernetes environments. You’ll do it within a team that treats AI and automation as fundamental to how modern software gets built.

Our engineering group is AI-forward. We’ve integrated agentic workflows and automation into coding, ticket management, compliance, and cross-functional problem-solving and we expect every engineer to actively contribute to that momentum. You’ll use AI-assisted tools daily, build automation that makes the team faster, and partner with business and data science teams to apply AI to real problems.

This is an IC engineering role reporting to an Engineering Manager with a clear path for growth as our client partnerships expand.

What You’ll Do: 

Engineering Delivery 

• Build and maintain financial services web platforms using Next.js (React, TypeScript) with a focus on performance, reliability, and partner-grade quality.
• Deploy and operate applications in high-availability, multi-cloud Kubernetes environments, contributing to infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment automation.
• Contribute to SRE practices: observability, alerting, incident response, and operational maturity for client-facing web properties.
• Write well-tested, reviewable code and actively participate in code reviews, advocating for quality across the team.
• Collaborate with designers, business stakeholders, and data science partners to deliver solutions that strengthen client trust.

AI & Automation

• Build and maintain agentic workflows and automation that improve engineering delivery, spanning coding assistance, ticket management, compliance processes, and operational tasks.
• Use AI-assisted development tools (IDE integrations, CLI agents, code review automation) as a core part of your daily workflow to accelerate output and improve quality.
• Partner with business and data science teams to identify automation opportunities and build AI-driven solutions to operational and client-facing problems.
• Evaluate emerging AI/ML tooling for software development and recommend adoption where it reduces toil or improves outcomes.
• Develop internal tooling and developer experience improvements that help engineers across teams move faster.

What We’re Looking For:

Software Engineering (3–5 Years Experience)

• Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript, React, and Node.js. Hands-on experience with Next.js is strongly preferred.
• Experience deploying and operating applications on Kubernetes in production environments. Familiarity with multi-cloud architectures (AWS, GCP, or Azure) is a plus.
• Solid understanding of web application architecture: client-server models, RESTful APIs, microservices, and server-side rendering.
• Demonstrated emphasis on code quality: testing strategies (unit, integration, end-to-end), code review practices, and engineering best practices.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and deployment tooling (e.g., Harness, GitHub Actions).
• Familiarity with Agile/Scrum methodologies and iterative delivery within sprint-based workflows.

AI Fluency & Automation

• Demonstrated experience building automation, internal tooling, or agentic workflows.
• Proficiency with AI-assisted development tools such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, or similar IDE and CLI integrations.
• A builder’s mindset: you actively look for opportunities to automate repetitive work, streamline processes, and apply AI to engineering problems.
• Willingness to experiment with emerging AI capabilities and drive adoption through working examples and documentation.

Collaboration & Communication

• Clear written and verbal communication skills. Ability to explain technical decisions to peers and cross-functional partners.
• Comfort working across functions, you’ll collaborate regularly with data science, business, and design teams.
• A collaborative, team-first approach. You contribute to a psychologically safe environment and share knowledge freely.

Nice to Have:

• Familiarity with web analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics, Mixpanel) and using data to inform engineering decisions.
• Experience with databases (SQL and/or NoSQL) and their integration with web applications.
• Understanding of container orchestration and cloud-native tooling beyond Kubernetes basics.

Compensation:

This range reflects total cash compensation, which may include base salary only or base salary plus target bonus, depending on the role. Where eligible, equity may also be offered separately and not included below. Actual compensation varies based on location, experience, and qualifications.

• Total Cash Compensation Range:
  • Charlotte, NC Hybrid Compensation Range: $80,000 – $140,000 per year
  • New York, NY Hybrid Compensation Range: $100,000 – $175,000

Additionally, the following benefits are provided by Red Ventures, subject to eligibility requirements.

• Health Insurance Coverage (medical, dental, and vision)
• Life Insurance
• Short and Long-Term Disability Insurance
• Flexible Spending Accounts
• Holiday Pay
• 401(k) with match
• Employee Assistance Program
• Paid Parental Bonding Benefit Program
• Flexible Paid Time Off (PTO): We believe time to rest and recharge is essential.  That’s why we offer a generous and flexible PTO policy.  Full-time employees accrue 20 days of PTO for a full calendar year annually, with an increase to 25 days after five years of service.
