The need for a platform like Meadow has never been greater. If you're passionate about our mission to empower students financially and strengthen economic mobility through higher education — and you're excited to join a highly ambitious, talented team — we'd love to hear from you.
Meadow is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to help build and scale our student financial engagement platform, Meadow Pay. As we continue expanding to universities nationwide, this role will be critical in delivering reliable, scalable product experiences for our institutional partners and their students.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will design, build, and operate core systems across our backend and frontend stack, partnering closely with Product, CX, and Integrations to deliver high-quality software. This role requires strong technical judgment, a high bar for quality, and a desire to take ownership of meaningful product areas from concept through production.
AI tooling (e.g. Cursor, Claude, Codex, etc.) is a core part of how our team works and ships code every day. We're looking for a Software Engineer who is excited to use AI as a core part of their workflow. The ideal candidate should have experience building products in a way that AI tooling can efficiently understand context and collaborate with the user.
This is a full-time position reporting to Mike, Meadow's Engineering Manager.
You'll lead end-to-end development of product features from design through deployment and ongoing support.
You'll architect and build scalable backend services and APIs (TypeScript/Node.js).
You'll contribute to frontend development using modern frameworks (React preferred).
You'll design systems with reliability, observability, and maintainability in mind.
You'll collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Design, CX, and Integrations teams to deliver customer-facing functionality.
You'll participate in code reviews and uphold high standards for code quality and system design.
You'll improve engineering processes, tooling, and documentation to support scale.
You'll help shape technical decisions and engineering culture as we grow.
5+ Years of Experience in Product Engineering
You have experience building and operating production systems at scale.
Ownership
Builder Mindset: You demonstrate High Agency x High Urgency.
You own problems end-to-end.
You make consequential decisions that impact outcomes.
Agency: You make bigger calls on your own. You own the scope, approach, and tradeoffs for your projects without needing sign-off, and default to action when the path is ambiguous.
Decisions: The team trusts your call, as you are usually right. You estimate accurately and credibly, rarely make the same mistake twice, and correct fast when wrong.
Operational Excellence: You make operating our system a top concern. You instrument and document proactively, so things are debuggable and supportable before they break.
Product Sense
Empathy: You keep a steady rhythm of contact with your users, external or internal (IE, CX), across your area: support tickets, integration issues, calls, telemetry. You understand the desired outcomes and surface patterns worth acting on.
Creativity: You form opinions on what to build, not just how. You generate and propose solutions to problems worth solving, including ones beyond their assigned work.
Taste: You judge which options actually move the needle on user outcomes and back them. You help teammates see defects and product-sense gaps, raising the bar around you.
Technical Depth
Design & Architecture: You are trusted to lead engineering design on any project. You understand the why behind the architecture and see second-order effects, including how a component behaves as usage grows, and make calls that are not obvious to others.
Problem Solving: You anticipate the failure modes in your own designs and handle ambiguous, underspecified problems.
Tooling & Verification: You continuously encode your expertise for an agentic context with context files, evals, and patterns that keep generated code correct and on-spec.
Tech Debt: You identify systemic debt across your components. You write the spec/proposal for the whole project, get it prioritized, and lead execution.
AI Fluency
You default to AI-first approaches where appropriate and have built workflows, tooling, or practices that improve output beyond just themselves.
You demonstrate strong judgment about tradeoffs and failure modes by choosing tools intentionally, validating outputs, and building review, testing, or mitigation into the workflow.
Communication & Collaboration
You speak cross-functionally without jargon, making sure non-engineers understand. You balance technical, product, and CX tradeoffs in the moment and drive buy-in from all stakeholders.
You consistently and smoothly partner with Product and Design, and increasingly with CX and other internal customers, folding customer and support realities into your day-to-day work.
Experience at an Early Stage Startup (Seed, Series A, Series B)
Experience in FinTech (Or Other Regulated Industries)
Experience as a People Manager and/or Technical Lead
We are a distributed team with offices in New York, NY and San Mateo, CA. For this role, we're currently seeking candidates based in the United States.
Please note that Meadow does not currently offer visa sponsorship for this role.
Meadow wants all employees to be supported in their personal and professional development, so we take a comprehensive approach to compensation and benefits.
The initial annual salary for this position is expected to range from $148,750-$215,000. Actual compensation will depend on numerous factors such as: experience, knowledge and skills, qualifications, location, and other job-related factors.

As a Product Manager at Meadow, you'll embed within one of our Product Engineering pods to own its roadmap, run discovery with schools, and decide what we build and why.

You'll be the voice of your pod across the company. CX, Sales, and Leadership should always understand what you're building, why, and when it ships.

You'll run discovery, define scope, and write clear specs that give designers and engineers what they need to move fast.
You'll explore where agents can replace or augment traditional workflows for schools and students.
You'll define success metrics up front, then use data to report back on whether a project moved the needle — and be candid about what we learned when it didn’t.

Strong Written and Verbal Communication Skills: You can make a case to an engineer and a school's CFO in the same afternoon.
You don’t need to be a technical PM — i.e. to be able to write SQL or HTML or JavaScript. But, you should be able to use AI to understand our codebase well enough to gauge what's hard vs. easy, and to hold your own in conversations with our Product Designers and Software Engineers.

The need for a platform like Meadow has never been greater. If you're passionate about our mission to empower students financially and strengthen economic mobility through higher education — and you're excited to join a highly ambitious, talented team — we'd love to hear from you.
Meadow is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to help build and scale our student financial engagement platform, Meadow Pay. As we continue expanding to universities nationwide, this role will be critical in delivering reliable, scalable product experiences for our institutional partners and their students.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will design, build, and operate core systems across our backend and frontend stack, partnering closely with Product, CX, and Integrations to deliver high-quality software. This role requires strong technical judgment, a high bar for quality, and a desire to take ownership of meaningful product areas from concept through production.
AI tooling (e.g. Cursor, Claude, Codex, etc.) is a core part of how our team works and ships code every day. We're looking for a Software Engineer who is excited to use AI as a core part of their workflow. The ideal candidate should have experience building products in a way that AI tooling can efficiently understand context and collaborate with the user.
This is a full-time position reporting to Mike, Meadow's Engineering Manager.
You'll lead end-to-end development of product features from design through deployment and ongoing support.
You'll architect and build scalable backend services and APIs (TypeScript/Node.js).
You'll contribute to frontend development using modern frameworks (React preferred).
You'll design systems with reliability, observability, and maintainability in mind.
You'll collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Design, CX, and Integrations teams to deliver customer-facing functionality.
You'll participate in code reviews and uphold high standards for code quality and system design.
You'll improve engineering processes, tooling, and documentation to support scale.
You'll help shape technical decisions and engineering culture as we grow.
10+ Years of Experience in Product Engineering
You have experience building and operating production systems at scale.
Ownership
Builder Mindset: You demonstrate High Agency x High Urgency.
You own problems end-to-end.
You make consequential decisions that impact outcomes.
Agency: You make significant decisions across projects and act on them without waiting for consensus. You are comfortable committing under uncertainty and getting others moving.
Decisions: You make high-stakes calls that hold up over time. You are the person others trust to be right for big technical decisions.
Operational Excellence: You drive sweeping improvements to stability/performance/scalability of business-critical systems and raise the operational bar for other engineers.
Product Sense
Empathy: You understand users broadly and deeply, across segments and personas, internal and external alike. You anticipate needs users have not voiced yet and see how those needs are changing over time, not just what they want today.
Creativity: You generate original solutions to open, ambiguous problems, grounded in what is technically feasible. You use deep technical insight to spot approaches others miss, including what is newly possible, and frame options that are both inventive and buildable.
Taste: You hold the quality bar high across the full stack, from how systems are designed to how the experience feels for users, internal and external.
Technical Depth
Design & Architecture: You make elegant decisions that reduce complexity and scale across multiple components. You make design choices that make whole categories of bugs, outages, and scaling problems impossible.
Problem Solving: You connect the dots to solve problems that span multiple, distant components, seeing the links others miss. You are the trusted person on hard, cross-cutting problems.
Tooling & Verification: You set the verification and eval bar that makes high-speed, agent-driven change safe.
Tech Debt: You spot architectural debt that constrains multiple pods, sequence the multi-cycle plan to remove it, and set the standards that keep it from re-accumulating.
AI Fluency
You default to AI-first approaches where appropriate and have built workflows, tooling, or practices that improve output beyond just themselves.
You demonstrate strong judgment about tradeoffs and failure modes by choosing tools intentionally, validating outputs, and building review, testing, or mitigation into the workflow.
Communication & Collaboration
You facilitate cross-pod discussions and guide hard debates to consensus — then clearly back the decision, even when it isn't your first choice.
You work fluidly across Product, Design, CX, and Sales, reaching to functions further from Engineering to align on direction.
Experience at an Early Stage Startup (Seed, Series A, Series B)
Experience in FinTech (Or Other Regulated Industries)
Experience as a People Manager and/or Technical Lead
We are a distributed team with offices in New York, NY and San Mateo, CA. For this role, we're currently seeking candidates based in the United States.
Please note that Meadow does not currently offer visa sponsorship for this role.
Meadow wants all employees to be supported in their personal and professional development, so we take a comprehensive approach to compensation and benefits.
The initial annual salary for this position is expected to range from $185,300-$276,000. Actual compensation will depend on numerous factors such as: experience, knowledge and skills, qualifications, location, and other job-related factors.

The need for a platform like Meadow has never been greater. If you're passionate about our mission to empower students financially and strengthen economic mobility through higher education — and you're excited to join a highly ambitious, talented team — we'd love to hear from you.
As Meadow's Implementation Manager, your primary mission is to take a school from \"Signed Contract\" to \"Live\" on Meadow Pay and Pre, and to leave it set up to grow. You own the customer side of every implementation in your portfolio: You get the school's business office and IT to do the work only they can do, help keep our Implementation Engineers unblocked, and always know where each project really stands, so the next blocker gets cleared and the school launches as soon as it's able.
You'll carry a portfolio of concurrent implementations and deliver against it at the pace Sales sells. Along the way, you'll help make the way we implement more efficient — right the first time, without rework, so schools get value sooner and the process scales as we grow.
This is a full-time position reporting to Maclore, Meadow's Senior Manager, Implementations.
Schools launch at the pace Sales sells, or faster. Launches keep up with kickoffs, so your portfolio holds steady or shrinks instead of growing, and you carry your share of each quarter's launch goal.
Every school goes live at a level that earns a great CSAT Score — trained, with validated data, no surprises in launch week, and nothing to redo after go-live.
Schools launch with the full implementation we recommend, not the narrowest one they'll accept, and are set up for retention and growth with the features turned on that get them more value.
Time-from-First-Working-Session-to-Launch comes down, because you keep finding, and helping fix, what slows schools and engineers down.
You'll own the relationship with each school's business office from the first working session through go-live. Run the meetings, keep the school informed, and be the person they call.
You'll configure each school's setup in Meadow and teach the business office to run it. You'll translate what the school needs into product settings, start from the full setup we recommend for every school and make the case for it when a school wants less, validate it with them before launch, and train their team on the administrative tools.
You'll keep each implementation moving. You'll get the school's IT Team moving through the business office or our Implementation Engineer, work through influence with the engineers who build the integration, and find a way to get it done.
You'll own the status of every school you carry. You'll keep our systems of record current as information comes in from the school, your Implementation Engineer, and everyone else touching the project; the weekly check-in is a backstop, not the only time it gets looked at. You'll raise risks the day you see them, and be straight about what threatens a committed date and what you're doing about it.
You'll land the launch and hand the school to our Customer Success Managers with nothing left open and the school set up to grow.
Experience
Implementation Experience
You've owned customer implementations before, as an Implementation Manager or a Customer Success Manager who ran onboarding. You know where implementations stall and how to keep both customers and internal partners moving.
Mindset
Builder Mindset: High Agency x High Urgency x High Resilience
You adapt fast, have a high tolerance for frustration, and are energized by problems rather than worn down by them. You look for the solution instead of stopping at the problem, and you find something worth improving wherever you're put.
Represents Meadow's Interests
You know what a full, successful implementation looks like for us and you make the case for it, even when a school asks for less. You explain what it does for them and for us, and you keep making the case when a school's first instinct is to narrow the scope. You represent Meadow in the room, and you look for the version of the plan where the school wins too.
Skills
Customer Accountability Without Authority
You get customers to do their part. You set deadlines, follow up, and move people you don't manage. You don't give or accept \"waiting on the customer\" as a complete status.
Project Management Judgment
This isn't strictly a project management job, but it runs on a Project Manager's judgment: critical path, dependencies, risk sense, escalation. You know which task moves the launch date and whose desk it sits on, and you don't need a formal PM structure to do it well.
Operational Discipline
You keep systems of record current, you give a straight assessment of every project, and you manage multiple concurrent implementations without close supervision.
Process Improvement
You notice when the same problem shows up across customers and fix the process instead of working around it again, in your own work and across the team.
Clear Communication
Your communication is timely, meaningful, and helpful — whether you're leading a meeting over Zoom, writing to a client, or moving quickly in Slack. You're comfortable with high visibility and confident talking about progress and risk.
Technical Fluency
You understand how a SaaS product is built, released, and supported well enough to ask the right question and translate between a business office and an engineer, and you treat a product that keeps changing as normal. You'll learn our products fast.
AI Fluency
You use AI tools as a normal part of how you work, you're curious about where else they apply, and you ask whether a tool or a better workflow could take a recurring problem off the team's plate.
Enterprise Software Familiarity: You've implemented, supported, or administered enterprise systems (e.g. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Student information System (SIS), Payments Platform) and know how integrations, SSO, and data feeds behave in practice.
Experience in FinTech or EdTech, or any role where higher ed business offices (e.g. Student Accounts, Bursar, Financial Aid) were your customers or your partners, so the concerns of the people we serve aren't new to you.
Experience at an Early Stage (e.g. Seed, Series A, Series B) B2B/Enterprise SaaS Company
