Where And How You’d Work
Ramsey Solutions Headquarters is located just outside of Nashville in Franklin, Tennessee. We value our strong, unified company culture because we believe the best work is done together. That’s why all of our team members work on-site under the same roof. But work-life balance is also important to us, so we offer flexible work schedules to take the stress out of appointments, family obligations and other needs that may pop up.
While every team member has a designated workspace (with an electronic sit-stand desk), our campus was designed to house a variety of unique work and play zones (e.g., quiet library space, coffee bar/lounge areas, recreational game zone, and outside/patio work and break areas).
What You’d Do In This Role
We’re looking for a high-impact Senior Software Engineer to help build and scale a new product squad within our Ramsey Trusted Protections team. You’ll design and deliver robust, scalable systems, spanning APIs, services, and user experiences that power how millions of users connect with trusted providers.
This role sits at the intersection of architecture, product, and mission. You’ll turn complex business problems into durable technical solutions that are reliable, observable, and built to evolve. The outcome isn’t just better software, it’s measurable life change, delivered through digital experiences that help people confidently protect their families and financial future.
You’re Probably a Match If

• You have 7+ years of progressive experience in software engineering, with a track record of increasing ownership and impact.
• You bring strong backend experience, full-stack capability, or frontend expertise paired with a solid understanding of APIs and system design.
• You think in systems, not just components, and can reason about how frontend, backend, and services interact at scale.
• You have a track record of owning and delivering complex, production-grade systems that drive real business impact.
• You demonstrate strong architectural judgment and can make clear, pragmatic trade-offs between speed, scalability, and long-term maintainability.
• You write clean, defensive, and maintainable code, and prioritize reliability, observability, and performance by default.
• You naturally take ownership, seeing problems through from discovery to delivery to long-term support.
• You proactively identify gaps, reduce ambiguity, and drive clarity in both systems and processes.
• You have experience designing and working with REST APIs and understand how to build clean, scalable service boundaries.
• You actively mentor and invest in other engineers, raising the bar through teaching, pairing, and feedback.
• You’re a strong communicator who can influence technical direction and connect engineering decisions to business outcomes.
• You have a clear hunger for learning and staying current with technology trends, you’re actively exploring new tools, patterns, and approaches.
• You’re already experimenting with or actively using AI tools (e.g., Claude Code, OpenAI APIs) to improve how you and your team build software.

What Winning Looks Like

• Designing systems and APIs that are scalable, intuitive, and enable teams to move faster over time.
• Bringing strong architectural clarity to ambiguous problems, helping the team make better long-term decisions.
• Ensuring systems are observable, resilient, and easy to support through solid monitoring and operational practices.
• Consistently delivering high-quality, reliable software with strong testing, documentation, and long-term maintainability.
• Partnering closely with Product, Design, and Business to turn ambiguous problems into clear, effective solutions.
• Owning systems end-to-end, with a focus on accountability, performance, and continuous improvement.
• Raising engineering standards through shared practices and technical leadership

Other Stuff To Know
We’re looking for people who are passionate about our mission. This isn’t just a J-O-B. We experience resistance every day because what we believe is absolutely countercultural. We actually hate debt. We actually cut up our credit cards . . . like, for real. Some of us are still fighting our way out of debt, but we aren’t going back.
