Description

Are you looking for a career with a purpose? Do you want the opportunity to be part of a company that's changing millions of lives for the better? Well, you've come to the right place. Ramsey Solutions exists to provide biblically based, common sense education and empowerment that give HOPE to everyone in every walk of life. Our mission to change the world isn't easy. We face resistance every day because what we believe is absolutely countercultural. We're weird. We hate debt. And we actually cut up our credit cards . . . like, for real. We don't use them in our entire business. Bottom line: We don't use debt—period. Some of us are still fighting our way out of it, but we aren't going back in.

At Ramsey Solutions, we value our strong, fun, on-site culture - and we value family and work-life balance. Family is a core value here, and it comes first. Just because we work in the office doesn't mean we don't have flexibility.

If you miss the abundant life that is interacting with other humans on a daily basis, then this might be your chance to do work that matters . . . from work.

About the team:

Our applications serve millions of users in life-changing ways.  We have over 100 in-house developers working across 15 different digital product areas who all want to help people take control of their money and their lives.  Many of our teams deliver to production several times a week and deliver business value from concept to product in a matter of days.

Our tech stack is constantly evolving to include new languages and frameworks on the front-end and backend. Our current primary tech stack is Ruby on Rails backed by RESTful microservices written in Java, C#, or Kotli.  We're using C# with Xamarin to develop mobile applications. We follow Agile methodologies, specifically Kanban. We're leveraging CI/CD, TDD, and 100% cloud (AWS) infrastructure.  You can learn more about our product engineering teams on our tech blog, Ramsey In-House.
