LendingTree - Staff Software Engineer - C#/ASP/.Net (9-12 yrs)

About LendingTree :

LendingTree is US largest online lending marketplace. That means we connect customers with multiple lenders, so they find the best deals on loans, credit cards, savings accounts, and insurance. Our goal is to help people save money, and we believe the best way to do that is by giving them a way to shop for loans and compare lenders, so they make their best financial choices.

Doug Lebda founded the company in 1996 after a frustrating house-hunting experience. In those days, we mostly helped people find good mortgage deals. Now, we help consumers find their best in personal loans, auto loans, business loans, student loans, credit cards, savings accounts, home equity loans and more.

At LendingTree, engineers have the opportunity to solve complex technical challenges at scale, build impactful products, and work alongside talented teams in a collaborative and fast-paced environment.
