Staff Software Engineer, Shopping Marketplaces (CAN)

About the Shopping Marketplaces Team

The Shopping Marketplaces team is at the heart of NerdWallet’s organic growth, owning some of the highest-traffic shopping experiences across two of our biggest verticals: Credit Cards and Wealth (Banking and Investing). Our mission is to create best-in-class, data-driven shopping experiences that help millions of users make smarter financial decisions.

With a direct impact on SEO, conversion, and engagement, this team operates at the intersection of technology, experimentation, and product excellence. We build fast, intuitive, and highly optimized pages that rank, perform, and scale — all while collaborating with business stakeholders and SEO strategists to push the boundaries of what’s possible in organic.

If you thrive on high-impact work, solving technical challenges, and shaping the future of financial shopping experiences on the web, this is the place for you.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer who is both a technical leader and hands-on builder — someone who can drive technical excellence, front-end performance, and platform scalability while collaborating with stakeholders to shape the future of our organic shopping products.

This is a full-stack role with a front-end focus, ideal for someone with a strong eye for design, UI/UX, accessibility, and web performance. You’ll lead initiatives that enhance Core Web Vitals (CWV), technical SEO, and observability, ensuring our shopping experiences are blazing fast, user-friendly, and optimized for discovery. Beyond the front-end, you’ll also work on back-end APIs and integrate with Machine Learning systems that power these experiences — enabling personalization, and data-driven decision-making at scale.

As a Staff Engineer, you’ll collaborate closely with engineering leadership to influence the engineering roadmap, contribute to best practices, and drive architectural projects that balance speed, scalability, and long-term maintainability. This isn’t just a strategy role — you’ll be hands-on, writing production-quality code, mentoring engineers, and driving technical excellence across the team. You’ll set the pace, ensuring both high-quality execution and fast iteration, acting as a multiplier to help the entire team deliver impact.

Where you can make an impact: 

  • Shape the future of NerdWallet’s highest-traffic organic pages by improving performance, SEO, and user engagement.

  • Partner with product, SEO, and data teams to run experiments, measure impact, and iterate quickly.

  • Take input from and partner directly with engineering leadership to drive technical initiatives to enhance performance, observability, scalability, security and developer experience.

  • Contribute to platform stability and resilience through effective monitoring, troubleshooting, and incident management.

  • Ensure high standards of technical excellence, maintaining a high-quality codebase and modernizing our stack.

  • Mentor and provide technical guidance to engineering team members, promoting best practices in coding, testing, and architecture.

  • Conduct code reviews to ensure code quality, performance, and adherence to standards, fostering a culture of continuous improvement within the engineering team.

  • Stay up-to-date with the latest trends and technologies in the tech and finance industries through a practice of continuous learning and self-improvement.

Your experience:

We recognize not everyone will meet all of the criteria. If you meet most of the criteria below and you’re excited about the opportunity and willing to learn, we’d love to hear from you.

  • Minimum of 8+ years in software engineering, with a strong background in full stack development.

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).

  • Expert in TypeScript, Node.js and the web platform; proficient in other modern languages such as Rust, Go, Python, etc.

  • Expert in modern front-end frameworks such as Next.js, React.js, Material UI, Tailwind, etc.

  • Deeply knowledgeable about Web Performance, Core Web Vitals & Technical SEO.

  • Keen eye for design, usability and user experience. Understanding of accessibility best-practices.

  • Experience in Observability and running a production website or application at scale.

  • Experience with database systems, microservices architecture, RESTful APIs, IAC, CI/CD and cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure).

  • Deep domain knowledge in finance or a related field.

  • Knowledge of security best practices, particularly in financial services.
