Software Engineer - AI Native (Full Stack)

About the role

Blend is a diverse team of problem solvers who believe that the world’s financial resources should be more accessible. Our cloud banking platform is used by Wells Fargo, U.S. Bank, and over 330 other financial services firms to acquire more customers, increase productivity, and deliver end-to-end digital experiences. Our software enables our customers to process an average of more than $5 billion in loans per day, making it possible for consumers to reach their financial goals faster and lead better lives. Come do work that matters.

As a Software Engineer at Blend, you will design, implement, and maintain the platform that powers 20% of mortgages in the US. You'll work closely with our product development team to translate customer needs into functional, scalable software — and you'll do it the modern way: with AI coding agents woven into every stage of your development lifecycle. We're an engineering organization that builds AI-first, and we're looking for early-career engineers who already work that way instinctively.

Please note this role is in-office in Raleigh, North Carolina.

How you'll contribute:

- Build features end-to-end across the stack — from responsive, accessible user interfaces to resilient, scalable back-end services.

- Use AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex daily across the software development lifecycle: planning, design, codebase analysis, implementation, testing, documentation, code review, and refactoring.

- Apply and help evolve our AI-driven development lifecycle (AIDLC) practices — spec-driven development, agentic workflows, and effective context and prompt engineering — and share what you learn with the team.

- Review, test, and harden AI-generated code to production quality. You own everything you ship, no matter who (or what) wrote the first draft.

- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate business requirements into technical specifications and code.

- Work with product managers and UI/UX designers to implement new features and enhancements with a seamless, accessible user experience across devices.

- Design and develop applications that scale, with maintenance, resiliency, and robustness in mind.

- Identify and troubleshoot software defects and issues, ensuring timely resolution.

- Participate in code reviews to maintain code quality — including thoughtful review of AI-assisted contributions — and offer peer mentorship and guidance.

- Participate in the team's on-call rotation.

- Create your own story! Some of Blend's best features have come from engineering initiatives. You'll have an opportunity to propose new ideas and build features end-to-end.

Who you are:

- You have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience) with 1–3 years of experience building production software.

- You use AI to write code every day. Tools like Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex aren't experiments for you — they're core to how you work, and you stay current as they evolve.
