About The Position

Dave vs. Goliath. We’re Dave.
Dave is a financial app on a mission to build products that level the financial playing field. It is redefining the financial landscape by leveraging technology to create an affordable, transparent, and user-centric access to liquidity for millions of Americans. As a leading innovator in the U.S. financial services sector, Dave’s digital financial platform offers products designed to meet the credit needs of those underserved by traditional financial institutions. Dave’s offerings include its flagship ExtraCash product, providing members up to $500 in short-term advances within minutes. The company is on track to launch several new product offerings in 2026, including a Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) option.
Dave is focused on serving Americans who are financially vulnerable or living paycheck to paycheck. Dave is leading the charge in creating a new era of credit products that prioritizes speed, affordability, and accessibility, making it the go-to financial partner for those who need it most.
The Opportunity
Dave is building products that help people improve their relationship with money. We’re looking for a Senior Fullstack Engineer to help power our newest product: FlexCard.
FlexCard is a daily-use credit card designed to give members more control over their spending. Purchases are split into manageable installments, making it easier for people living paycheck to paycheck to stay on top of their finances.
This role sits on the FlexCard engineering team and reports to a Manager of Software Engineering. You’ll help shape the core systems behind the product as it launches and scales. The work spans backend services, member-facing experiences, and the infrastructure that supports them. You’ll collaborate closely with product, design, and other engineers to build reliable systems that millions of members depend on.
What to Expect
The FlexCard team is building a brand-new product that will launch soon. That means some things are well defined, while others are still taking shape. You’ll have meaningful autonomy in how systems are designed and implemented, along with the support of an experienced engineering team.
Decisions are data-informed, collaboration is expected, and engineers have real ownership in shaping how products evolve.
Why Join Dave
Help build financial tools that improve how people manage their money
Work on a product launching to millions of members
Collaborate with thoughtful engineers, product leaders, and designers
Contribute to a mission-driven fintech that is growing quickly and sustainably
