This is your chance to make an impact on an early-stage, fast growing company that is tackling consumer debt reduction in a socially responsible way, one person at a time. Take a hands-on approach to designing and developing our back-end processes from scratch, while launching your career with a company that is well-funded and poised for rapid growth. In this role you will be directly responsible for helping people get out of debt, and positioning yourself for continued success. This position is based out of our San Francisco, CA headquarters; however we are open to a telecommuting option for someone who lives within a two hour airplane ride of San Francisco.

Paying off Debt is Hard. GoalSpring is here to help.

GoalSpring is an innovative personal finance company founded by experts in online community and finance, including the former Head of Subscription Product R&D and Product Management for HSBC, the co-founder of SelectMinds (an enterprise social networking company funded by Bessemer), and the former CTO of SelectMinds. Our first product, DebtGoal, is an online platform that we often describe as "online weightwatchers for consumer debt." DebtGoal will serve the 45M American households who currently revolve credit card debt, and will help them get out of debt in a proven, healthy and sustainable way. By using our service to optimize and organize their debt pay-down, our average user can save over $40,000 in interest expenses and get out of debt eight years sooner without paying any more than today's minimum payments.

As our Lead Java Engineer you will own the design and architecture of our back end financial data framework. After a short introduction period your first project will be to leverage your Java expertise to develop our bill pay functionality, allowing consumers to pay their bills online and transfer money through our platform. Knowledge of EJB3 or other Java frameworks such as Spring or Hibernate paired with previous financial data integration experience will allow you to tackle your second project of creating a framework for aggregating financial data. Your experience with Unix, WebServices, and databases will allow you to hit the ground running in this pivotal development role as you develop our web-based application. Agile development experience in teams using Scrum or XP will round out your qualifications for this highly sought-after position.
