About The Position

Rocket Money's mission is to meaningfully improve the financial prosperity of millions of people. Rocket Money offers members a unique understanding of their finances and a suite of valuable services that save them time and money – ultimately giving them a leg up on their financial journey. The Premium team owns everything related to converting our users to Premium and keeping them successfully subscribed. We build and operate the end-to-end purchasing and billing experience—including a Stripe integration, purchasing through Apple/Google IAP, subscription infrastructure, invoicing, and post-purchase subscription management. We care deeply about delivering the best experience for our users, correctness, and resiliency. This team is perfect for you if you’re excited to work on highly reliable and mission-critical systems that move millions of dollars daily.

Requirements

7+ years of professional experience working with some combination of Node.js/TypeScript, React (or similar framework), Postgres (or similar relational database), and asynchronous queuing systems like SQS.
You are highly autonomous. You can take an ambiguous problem, align with stakeholders, and drive it to a reliable production outcome.
You are data-driven: You define success metrics up front, instrument what needs to be measured, and apply a working knowledge of analytics to interpret experiment results so that we can be confident in our product decisions.
You want to use the best tools for the job, including AI tools.
You’re effective in a large organization, building trust across teams, untangling ownership and dependencies, and maintaining momentum from ambiguity through execution.
You understand how observability impacts reliability and enjoy digging into the details to solve performance, data accuracy, and user experience issues.
You have a collaborator’s mindset and dig deep to understand nuanced and multi-faceted problems and tenaciously break them down into tractable pieces.
You love giving and receiving feedback, and considering new and novel ideas.
