About the role

Building AGI for banking

Casca is building AGI for banking.

We are replacing 30+ year-old legacy technology with AI-native systems of record that automate 90% of the manual work humans used to have to do.

Our first product is an AI-native Loan Origination System - with a built-in AI Agent, called Sarah. Sarah communicates with small business loan applicants via email or sms, guides them through the application process and prepares the loan file for a human underwriter.

Helping Small Businesses

Small businesses are the heart of the American economy and a lot of banks shy away from providing funding because of the manual effort in pursuing those deals. With us, that changes and unlocks affordable, quick bank funding for the 30M+ small businesses in the US as opposed to the high interest rates from predatory online lenders.

As an Senior Software Engineer, you will see your work repeatedly shipped to automate 1000s of real world conversations, helping small businesses get affordable funding.

All-Stanford Founding Team

  • Lukas (Stanford MBA), grew a banking software company to $150M+ ARR & 400+ employees.
  • Isaiah (Stanford CS), build a conversational AI platform to handle 20M+ conversations each year @ a Series D startup ($1B+ valuation).

Our Culture

  • Ownership: We take responsibility and do not assign blame. Building great software is hard and when something is broken, we ask ourselves "How can I fix it?"
  • Competition & Excellence: We are a fun group of former competitive athletes and gamers. We like to win and we know that the only thing between us and the title is our own ability to improve every day.

What you'll do:

  • Contribute rapidly to our software platform that automates the lending process and helps our customers operate their banks more efficiently
  • Develop and own new features that increase value for our customers
  • Propose meaningful improvements to our software architecture and design patterns
  • Learn and drive engineering best practices
  • Leverage automating testing and continuous integration / continuous delivery in order to rapidly iterate on our product

What you'll bring:

  • 4+ years of experience in software engineering, with a strong focus on front-end and full-stack development - machine learning, AI and natural language processing is a plus
  • Proven track record of planning and executing significant projects with long-term impacts
  • Solid understanding of modern programming languages and frameworks (e.g., React, TypeScript, Next.js, Python, etc.)
  • Experience with database technologies (Postgres) and cloud platforms (AWS)
  • Strong problem-solving skills and a knack for innovative thinking
  • Excellent communication skills and a collaborative team spirit

About the interview

  • 30min interview with our CEO, Lukas, to talk about your background, your personal goals and how they align with the challenges we solve at Casca.
  • 30min interview with our CTO, Isaiah, to talk about your technical experience and how you can contribute to our core software platform and the engineering team
  • take-home challenge (at the intersection of UI & AI) to amaze your future teammates and see whether you'd enjoy the work at Casca
  • job offer outlining compensation and benefits for the selected candidate
