Associate Software Engineer

Who we are: 🌍 At Finder, our mission is simple: we help people win at money. We're the independent research engine behind millions of better financial decisions — we do the heavy lifting so our customers don't have to. Whether they're trying to save money, grow it, or grab a reward they can't get direct, we make sure they get a genuinely better deal. We're a global fintech crew with hubs in Sydney, New York, London, and Wroclaw — engineers, analysts, content creators, and marketers who are genuinely nosy about money. We hire people who'd rather move fast and figure it out than wait for permission. The work is real, too: what you do actually changes what someone does with their money. If that sounds like your kind of problem, this is the seat for you. 🚀🌟 Role Overview You will work closely with engineers, designers and product managers to design, assemble and deliver new technology and products that improve Finder’s capabilities and grow the company. You are hungry and ready to learn and grow while bringing unique skills and insights to the role. You will learn to direct agents to accelerate your output, the output of the team and the output of the entire business. You are an AI native, comfortable with both agentic software development and delivery as well as the development and deployment of agents themselves. You are able to work across the technology stack from top to bottom and from UI to messaging, service and data tiers. You are aligned with our core values of 'empowering people' to make change, a 'go live' bias towards action, a 'straight up' approach to open communication and 'mastery of your craft'.
