We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer, Backend to help build and evolve the core platform that powers Dave's banking and payments experience for millions of members. This team owns the systems behind Dave Bank accounts, debit cards, payment processing, and the integrations that connect us with sponsor banks, payment processors, and financial partners.
In this role, you'll help shape the architecture of critical backend services while working closely with product, engineering, and cross-functional partners to deliver reliable, secure, and scalable solutions. You'll have meaningful ownership over systems that directly impact our members' ability to move money confidently and securely while helping establish the technical foundation that supports Dave's continued growth.

You value clean design, thoughtful trade-offs, and building systems that continue to perform as Dave grows.
Success also comes from strong collaboration. You'll work closely with engineers, product managers, and partners across the company, welcoming feedback and sharing knowledge to strengthen both the platform and the team.

Anywhere in the United States except Hawaii. Dave is a fully virtual company with flexible hours, so you choose where in the U.S. you are based rather than relocating to an office.
No. Dave does not differentiate pay based on work location, so you receive the same competitive pay wherever in the U.S. you are based. Its job postings publish salary bands, for example roughly $150K to $200K for senior product manager roles and $174K to $224K for a lead machine learning scientist, each plus equity or commission.
Dave lists flexible paid time off that includes Juneteenth and a winter break, a 401(k) with company match, free financial advising, generous parental and caregiver leave, comprehensive health, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance, and a home office stipend.
Dave brings teams together one to two times per year and runs team offsites, so most collaboration happens virtually with periodic in-person gatherings rather than a regular office commute.
Hiring skews technical. Engineering is the largest function, followed by operations, with active openings across machine learning, software engineering, data analysis, product management, and IT systems. It is a strong fit for people who want ownership and visible impact at a growing fintech and are comfortable with shifting priorities.
Dave posts its open roles, each with its salary band, on the Dave careers page, and you apply directly through the listing.
