Software Engineer

As passionate about our people as we are about our mission.

Why Join Q2?

Q2 is a leading provider of digital banking and lending solutions to banks, credit unions, alternative finance companies, and fintechs in the U.S. and internationally. Our mission is simple: build strong and diverse communities through innovative financial technology—and we do that by empowering our people to help create success for our customers.

What Makes Q2 Special?

The Team

The Targeted Experiences team builds and evolves SMART, Q2’s personalization and targeting platform for digital banking.

SMART turns real-time behavioral, transactional, and partner data into actionable insights that can be activated across digital banking experiences and external systems. In addition to building the platform itself, the team owns partner enablement — ensuring SMART is reliable, well-documented, and ready for consumption by external developers, fintech partners, and marketing platforms.

The team is intentionally multi-disciplinary and owns the stack end to end, bringing together engineers with backgrounds in backend and frontend software engineering, data engineering, and data science. As SMART evolves, the team’s scope will continue to expand beyond a single product toward broader targeted and personalized experience capabilities across Q2’s ecosystem.

The Role

Q2 is seeking a Junior Software Engineer to join the Targeted Experiences team and contribute to the platform capabilities behind SMART.

In this role, you will work closely with experienced engineers to design, implement, test, and operate cloud-native, data-driven services that power personalization and targeted experiences across Q2’s platform and partner ecosystem. This is a production-focused role where you will gradually take on more responsibility as you gain experience working with real-world systems and data.

We are looking for engineers who are eager to learn, enjoy working across the stack, and care about building reliable software in environments where quality and correctness matter.
