Job Description
You are a multi-faceted engineering wizard. Your fluency in Java is rivaled only by that of your native tongue. You are an architect who sees beauty in frameworks like Spring, Hibernate and JUnit. You build elegant, clean, bullet-proof code without breaking a sweat, and can codify an algorithm with one hand behind your back. You write a mean MySQL query, and thrive on finding optimizations for your database-dependent applications.

Responsibilities:
Work with a cross-functional team to create polished and intuitive product enhancements
Extend existing code base in Java, Spring, Hibernate, and MySQL
Contributing to key decisions for building out and scaling the system
Identify and implement batch and trade process enhancements
Keep users and usability in focus at all times
Qualifications:
We are seeking candidates who exhibit a strong desire to work in a startup environment and a record of high achievement. Successful candidates will have:

3-5 years programming in Java, or superior skills for a junior hire
Demonstrable experience architecting end-to-end database-dependent applications
Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics (experience trumps)
Strong working knowledge of Spring, Hibernate, and JUnit frameworks
Command of various build systems including Maven & Ant
In-depth knowledge of relational database design, specifically MySQL
Ability to speak UML for both object models and database models
Nice-to-haves:
Experience coding complex algorithms
Knowledge of HTML, CSS, WordPress, JavaScript, jQuery, PHP, ActionScript
Benefits:
We offer killer compensation, stock options, a performance bonus, and healthcare.

We are unusually principled in our approach to office culture, as it mirrors the values that drive our product - making life better, more efficient, and more productive:

Improving our customers’ lives. Be a part of a company that is improving how people invest for their future: to buy their first house, to fund their kid’s college, to live better.
Efficient. Have an idea, put it into action. Observe how well it works (or doesn’t) as part of a tight-knit team. Have room to experiment, iterate, and learn.
Transparent. We share our insights and successes with each other regularly.
Goal-oriented. We have a big board with our customers’ goals and deposits. Growing this aligns and motivates us–as our goal-based investing motivates our customers to save.
Advised. We set goals for employees they can achieve, coaching them to learn and grow.
Using the best tools. We believe in giving our people the tools they need to perform their best. Choose whatever computer setup and extras you want.
Personalized. We work when and how we want–be that 3PM or 3AM, in socks or at home–however we get more done. Unlimited vacation (for real). We want our team to achieve their best at their best, and hugely support life / work balance.
Stocked with perks. Our kitchen is stocked with fresh-ground coffee, sodas, gourmet snacks, cereal bar. Free meals (hello, Seamless!). Gym reimbursement, free bike storage.
Rewarding. We reward each other with $200 bonuses whenever we do something good. We make a big deal of milestones, because it makes us happier and better.
