## Job description

At NerdWallet, we’re on a mission to bring clarity to all of life’s financial decisions and every great mission needs a team of exceptional Nerds. We’ve built an inclusive, flexible, and candid culture where you’re empowered to grow, take smart risks, and be unapologetically yourself (cape optional). Whether remote or in-office, we support how you thrive best. We invest in your well-being, development, and ability to make an impact because when one Nerd levels up, we all do. The Consumer Banking org is responsible for owning the web shopping experiences for two of NerdWallet's largest and most mission-critical verticals. Our mission is to create best-in-class, data-driven financial marketplace experiences that help millions of users make smarter financial decisions. We build fast, intuitive, and highly optimized experiences that rank, perform, and scale, all while collaborating with business stakeholders, Paid Marketers and SEO strategists to drive measurable business impact. We use data to drive our decision making, running fast product-led experiments that deliver real business value, as well as contribute directly to the company’s strategic roadmap. If you thrive on high-impact work, solving technical challenges, and shaping the future of financial shopping experiences on the web, this is the place for you.

About the role: We're looking for a Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer with a strong sense of product to join our team. You'll work across the stack, but your primary focus will be delivering modern, high-performance user experiences that balance speed, usability, and search visibility. You embrace AI development tools as part of your everyday workflow, using them to move faster without sacrificing quality. You'll collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and other engineers to build scalable, engaging shopping flows, while also contributing to performance, observability, accessibility, and technical excellence. This is a hands-on engineering role, ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, has a strong product mindset, and is motivated by seeing their work used by millions of users.

Where you can make an impact:

- Build, maintain, and evolve React/Next.js front-end applications that serve millions of monthly users.
- Improve Core Web Vitals, accessibility, and technical SEO to drive discoverability and engagement.
- Partner with product, SEO, and content teams to launch, test, and iterate on high-impact shopping experiences.
- Design and implement backend APIs and services that power dynamic, personalized content, rapid experimentation and partner integrations.
- Collaborate on platform-wide initiatives: performance, observability, A/B testing infrastructure, and front-end developer experience.
- Contribute to shared UI components and design systems, helping scale high-quality UX across pages.
- Use AI coding tools and spec-driven workflows as part of your day-to-day, contributing to the team's growing dev harness and automations.
- Participate in code reviews, mentorship, and team technical discussions to help raise the engineering bar.

Your experience: We recognize not everyone will meet all of the criteria. If you meet most of the criteria below and you’re excited about the opportunity and willing to learn, we’d love to hear from you.

- 6+ years of software engineering experience, with meaningful contributions across both front-end and back-end systems.
- Deep experience in TypeScript, React.js, and Next.js or a related isomorphic framework (Astro, Gatsby, etc.).
- Strong product and UX sensibility with a keen eye for performance, usability, and responsive design.
- Hands-on experience building and consuming RESTful and GraphQL APIs, integrating with databases (SQL/NoSQL), and writing full-stack features.
- Hands-on experience with AI coding tools (e.g. Cursor, Copilot, Claude Code) as part of your regular development workflow.
- Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (e.g. AWS, GCP, Vercel) and modern DevOps practices (CI/CD, observability).
- Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset.

Preferred Qualifications:

- Experience working in public-facing, high visibility shopping marketplaces.
- Background in FinTech, financial services, or other regulated industries.
- Hands-on experience with web vitals, lazy loading, caching strategies, or third-party analytics tools.
- A technical blog, open-source contributions, or portfolio site showcasing your work.

Where:

- This role will be remote (based in the U.S.).
- We believe great work can be done anywhere. No matter where you are based, NerdWallet offers benefits and perks to support the physical, financial, and emotional well being of you and your family.

What we offer: Work Hard, Stay Balanced (Life’s a series of balancing acts, eh?)

- Industry-leading medical, dental, and vision health care plans for employees and their dependents
- Rejuvenation Policy – Flexible Vacation Time Off + 11 holidays + holiday company shutdown
