The Opportunity

You’ll join the Member Intelligence Squad, where engineering meets customer experience. This team builds the tools and systems that help us understand, support, and communicate with members at scale—from internal dashboards to AI-powered chat and IVR systems. You’ll work across the stack, partnering closely with product, design, and operations to deliver thoughtful, reliable solutions that directly impact how members experience Dave.

What You’ll Build and Own

• Develop full-stack web and mobile features using JavaScript and TypeScript, with a focus on React and React Native

• Build and evolve internal tools that support our Member Success teams, improving efficiency and visibility

• Contribute to backend services that power integrations with platforms like Zendesk and other external systems

• Help shape and improve our AI-driven chatbot and IVR experiences to better serve member needs

• Write clean, maintainable code supported by unit, integration, and end-to-end tests

• Participate in code reviews and contribute to improving how the team builds and ships software

The Impact

Your work will directly shape how millions of members get help, find answers, and interact with Dave—making support faster, more intuitive, and more human.

What We’re Looking For

Experience & Technical Foundation

• 3+ years of software engineering experience

• Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript and modern frontend frameworks like React

• Experience building and scaling full-stack applications

• Solid computer science fundamentals and problem-solving skills

• Ability to design and reason about system architecture and component design

• Experience working collaboratively with cross-functional teams

Bonus

• Experience with React Native

• Familiarity with MySQL and Google Cloud Platform

• Experience integrating with third-party tools (e.g., Zendesk)

• Exposure to AI, chatbot, or IVR systems

What Makes Someone Successful Here

You take ownership of your work and think beyond the ticket in front of you. You understand how your code affects member experience, team workflows, and system reliability. You make thoughtful trade-offs between speed and durability, and you care about building systems that hold up over time—not just shipping quickly. When things are unclear, you ask good questions and help shape the path forward.

You work well with others and value shared outcomes. You collaborate closely with product, design, and operations, and you’re open to feedback as a way to improve your craft. You communicate clearly, contribute to team discussions, and help create an environment where people can do their best work. As priorities evolve, you adapt without losing momentum.

What to Expect

This is a collaborative, product-focused engineering environment where you’ll have real ownership over what you build. Priorities may evolve as we learn from data and member behavior, and engineers are expected to contribute to both execution and direction. You’ll be supported by a team that values thoughtful work, clear communication, and steady impact over time.

Why Join Dave

• Work on products that directly improve financial access for millions of people

• Build systems that sit at the intersection of engineering and real-world member experience

• Collaborate with a team that values quality, ownership, and practical problem-solving

• Grow your scope as the team and platform continue to evolve
