Integration Engineer

We are developing deeper connections between communities and their food systems, and powering the revival of local, sustainable food. We accept deposits from individuals and businesses who want to drive positive and lasting change with their savings. We lend those funds to impact-oriented farms, food businesses, and other sustainability-focused organizations. The word “mutual” in our name means cooperative; we are governed by our depositors, funded by those with a bias towards the long-term, and engineered to endure the test of time. Building bridges is core to who we are, with the ultimate aim of building a more vibrant, sustainable and inclusive local food system.

We're looking for our second technology hire, a well-rounded software Integration Engineer. This person will report directly to our CTO and require close collaboration with a range of stakeholders - vendors, outside consultants, and employees with varying technical backgrounds. Part of our technology strategy involves leveraging software products not traditionally associated with the banking industry, and this person would focus on that opportunity - as well as opening access to data for internal teams. They would also support the CTO in the overall maintenance of the bank’s technology stack.

Working on a small team means individuals can have outsized impact, but it also means we support everything we build, we juggle shifting priorities, and we need to be comfortable managing a broad umbrella of responsibilities falling under ‘tech’ . Candidates who can contextualize their work within the larger challenge of supporting a complex organization on a small team will excel in this role.
