Software Engineer II - Acquisition and Funnel

Rocket Companies•Remote - Michigan, MI

10d•$97,000 - $207,000

About The Position

This team owns RocketLoans.com and the borrower experience from the first landing page through the application funnel. That includes the intake flow, offer-code entry, and refinance pre-qualification. The work directly impacts conversion, revenue, and whether someone gets the loan they came for. The team is heavily frontend focused and driven by experimentation. You’d work within a shared design system, run A/B tests, and use analytics to understand how users move through the funnel. That includes conversion tracking, form-step instrumentation, session insights, and frontend error monitoring. Performance and stability matter because this is the front door to the business, and any friction in the funnel has a measurable impact. You'll be a good fit if you think about product and engineering together, care about outcomes instead of just shipping features, and enjoy moving quickly, testing ideas, and learning from real user behavior in short feedback cycles. As a Software Engineer II, you will be working on an innovative platform that originates personal loans. You will use your experience in software development to write clean, tested, and well-documented code, as well as provide peer code review and mentor other engineers on the team. You will be part of a team that is empowered to take decisions that have direct impact on our success. You will be in the middle of it all - working with product, implementing new functionality, squashing bugs, maintaining the health of our code, delivering scalable and highly available services, and growing as an engineer. The ideal candidate must have a strong sense of ownership and drive for delivery.

Strong ownership and accountability for the work you take on, with a problem-solving, results-driven mindset
