Job Description
ABOUT ROCKET MONEY đź”®
Rocket Money’s mission is to meaningfully improve the financial prosperity of millions of people. Rocket Money offers members a unique understanding of their finances and a suite of valuable services that save them time and money – ultimately giving them a leg up on their financial journey.
ABOUT THE TEAM 🤝
The Rocket Ready team is a new collaboration between Rocket Money and Rocket Mortgage, created with the goal of helping our clients improve their readiness for home ownership. We build technology and product solutions that support both our clients, and the internal teams who work with them. Some of the key products we support include:
- Data pipelines for receiving and enriching eventing data across the company.
- A communication platform for personalized emails, texts, slack messages, and phone calls.
- User-facing public web applications for clients interested in home ownership.
- Internal tools for improving the efficiency of licensed mortgage bankers and consultants.
Our platform—and the capabilities we support—are less than a year old, and much of our work is greenfield application development on apps we’ve built as a small team. At the same time, we interact extensively with existing systems within our larger parent organization. As a result, our days are usually a healthy mix of deep, focused development, alongside collaboration with teams across the company.
A non-exhaustive list of a few technologies we work with frequently include: Python, FastAPI, Pandas, UV, Kafka, Confluent, React, TypeScript, Postgres, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, SalesForce, AWS, and GitHub Actions.
ABOUT THE ROLE 🤹‍♀️
We’re looking for experienced, full-stack software engineers to own the full lifecycle of turning our team’s ideas and needs into reality. Ideally, you have deep familiarity with our tools and tech stack so you can hit the ground running. Even more importantly, you’re an adaptable learner who’s driven by growth—both your own and that of the organization. You’ll be a great fit if:
- You have 7+ years of professional experience in relevant software engineering projects.
- You have an entrepreneurial spirit, and are excited to use your technical skills to positively impact business outcomes.
- You write clean, reliable code across a variety of platforms.
- You have significant professional experience working with one or more of the following: Python, React (or similar frontend framework), Postgres (or a similar relational database).
- You’re naturally collaborative, curious, and communicative, and enjoy ideating with product, marketing, and other engineering teams as much as you love writing code.
- You’re motivated by our mission to help people improve their financial lives, and achieve homeownership.

Verify Employer Thoroughly
Research the company's identity thoroughly before applying. Check for a professional website with contacts, active social media, and LinkedIn profiles. Verify details across platforms and look for reviews on Glassdoor or Trustpilot to confirm legitimacy.
Never Pay to Get a Job
Legitimate employers never require payment for applications, training, background checks, or equipment. Always reject upfront payment requests or demands for bank details, even if they claim it's for purchasing necessary work gear on your behalf.
Safeguard Your Personal Information
Protect sensitive data like SSN, bank details, or ID copies. Share this only after accepting a formal, written job offer. Ensure it's submitted via a secure company system or portal, never through insecure channels like standard email attachments.
Scrutinize Communication & Interviews
Watch for communication red flags: poor grammar, generic emails (@gmail), vague details, or undue pressure. Be highly suspicious of interviews held only via text or chat apps; legitimate companies typically use video or phone calls.
Beware of Unrealistic Offers
If an offer's salary or benefits seem unrealistically high for the work involved, be cautious. Research standard pay for similar roles. Offers that appear 'too good to be true' are often scams designed to lure you into providing information or payment.
Insist on a Formal Contract
Always secure and review a formal, written job offer or employment contract before starting work or sharing final personal details. Ensure it clearly defines your role, compensation, key terms, and conditions to avoid misunderstandings or scams.
