Senior Software Engineer

As a Senior Software Engineer within Servicing Technology, you’ll help build and scale the client-facing and team member-facing servicing applications used by millions of Rocket homeowners. Servicing Technology is accelerating through a full-scale System of Record modernization, and engineering velocity is a strategic asset.

This role is for an engineer who wants to own meaningful product outcomes end to end — from understanding the business problem, shaping the technical approach, building across the stack, deploying to production, and learning from real usage. You will be expected to use AI as a core part of how you design, code, test, debug, review, and ship software.

You will work closely with engineers, product partners, and business stakeholders across distributed teams. The ideal candidate is highly driven, comfortable with ambiguity, and excited to help define what AI-native engineering looks like in practice.

About the role 

• Own full-stack features from problem definition through design, implementation, release, measurement, and iteration.

• Design and implement scalable front-end solutions using Next.js or React with a NestJS GraphQL integration layer.

• Design and implement scalable back-end solutions using .NET / C# and NestJS GraphQL.

• Architect, deploy, and operate applications on AWS and Amazon EKS through CI/CD pipelines.

• Use AI tools and agentic development workflows to increase engineering speed, improve quality, and raise the bar for how the team builds software.

• Partner with product, design, data, and business stakeholders to translate ambiguous business needs into reliable technical solutions.

• Contribute to architecture and technical strategy decisions that balance speed, scalability, maintainability, and business impact.

• Collaborate effectively across distributed engineering teams, including partners in India.

• Mentor other engineers by sharing patterns, improving team workflows, and modeling high ownership.

About you 

You are a builder who cares about outcomes, not just tickets. You move quickly, and also hold a high bar for quality. You are curious about AI, already using it seriously in your development workflow, and excited to push the team toward better ways of working.

You are comfortable operating in an environment where requirements evolve, priorities shift, and strong engineers are expected to bring clarity rather than wait for perfect instructions.

Minimum Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional software development experience.

• Strong experience building production full-stack software across front end and back end.

• Front end: hands-on experience with Next.js or React and a NestJS GraphQL integration layer.

• Back end: hands-on experience with .NET / C# and NestJS GraphQL.

• Experience designing, deploying, and operating applications on AWS with Amazon EKS / Kubernetes.

• Strong understanding of software design, system architecture, testing, observability, and maintainability.

• Demonstrated ability to solve ambiguous problems and collaborate effectively across teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Strong hands-on usage of AI tools in professional software development workflows.

• Experience using AI coding agents, AI-assisted reviews, prompt-driven development, or multi-agent workflows.

• Experience with AWS, Amazon EKS / Kubernetes, CI/CD, automated testing, and production operations.

• Track record of delivering features in greenfield, early-stage, or rapidly evolving product environments.

• Experience in fintech, financial services, or mortgage servicing.

• Demonstrated ability to mentor engineers and influence team engineering practices.
