About MeridianLink

MeridianLink is a company that provides a digital lending platform for financial institutions. The platform, MeridianLink One, helps with consumer lending, digital account opening, and mortgage loan origination. Backed by Silversmith Capital Partners.

About the role

The AI Platform team is building the shared runtime that every AI agent at MeridianLink will run on as part of the MeridianLink One platform: model gateway, orchestration, memory, and observability, delivered as reusable services so product teams build agents once and run them safely for hundreds of credit union and lender customers.

What they're looking for

  • 3+ years of professional software engineering experience, delivering features independently in a production environment
  • Solid understanding of algorithms, data structures, and software design fundamentals
  • Proficiency with standard development tooling: Git, Docker, automated testing, and modern scripting languages
  • Active daily use of AI-assisted development tools
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent experience
  • Hands-on experience building software that integrates large language models (LLM APIs, agent frameworks, RAG pipelines, or similar), in production or in substantial personal or open-source projects

This is a deeply technical, hands-on engineering role and an integral part of the platform itself.
