Senior Software Engineer - Acquisition and Funnel

Rocket Companies•Remote - Michigan, MI

10d•$112,000 - $239,000

About The Position

The Acquisition and Funnel team owns RocketLoans.com and the borrower experience from the first landing page through the application funnel, including intake flow, offer-code entry, and refinance pre-qualification. This role directly impacts conversion, revenue, and loan acquisition. The team is heavily frontend-focused and driven by experimentation, working within a shared design system, running A/B tests, and using analytics for user behavior insights. Performance and stability are critical as this is the front door to the business. The ideal candidate thinks about product and engineering together, cares about outcomes, enjoys moving quickly, testing ideas, and learning from user behavior in short feedback cycles. As a Senior Software Engineer, you will work on an innovative and scalable platform for originating personal loans, writing clean, tested, and well-documented code, providing peer code review, and mentoring other engineers. You will own meaningful product and technical initiatives end-to-end, from problem statements to shipped, measurable outcomes, working directly with product and business partners to make tradeoffs. Success will be measured by impact: conversion, adoption, reliability, and real user outcomes. You will lead by example, setting engineering standards and patterns, raising the bar on quality, pragmatism, and speed, and bringing depth to complex issues and simplicity where needed. You will constantly look for leverage to improve conversion and product experience, introduce or evolve technology for real value, and identify small, incremental improvements that compound over time.

Requirements

5+ years of professional software engineering experience.
Hands-on experience building, shipping, and supporting production software using Node.js, React, and TypeScript.
True full-stack engineer who owns features end to end across frontend and backend.
Comfortable deep in the code.
Confident making architectural decisions and tradeoffs.
