Full Stack Developer (Backend Focus)

Streamline is a startup building infrastructure for automotive finance — but we’re not starting from zero. Our platform already supports 7.3K dealerships, 11.7K users, and a data warehouse with more than 91M records. We’re now entering a key phase of growth and bringing more engineering capability in-house to accelerate product development and innovation.

This is an opportunity to join a small team working on a platform that already operates at meaningful scale.

About Us

At Streamline, we’re transforming automotive finance through real-time connectivity between lenders and dealers. Built at West Herr Automotive Group and expanding nationwide, Streamline empowers lenders to improve origination quality while helping dealers work smarter, faster, and more profitably. Our culture is collaborative, fast-moving, and driven by people who thrive on building what’s next.

Streamline is a financial technology platform transforming how automotive lenders and dealers work together. Our platform connects lender underwriting guidelines to dealers in real time, helping them select the right vehicles for customers while improving loan quality and funding volume. Incubated inside West Herr Automotive Group, Streamline is now expanding nationwide with major lender partners and thousands of dealer users. We are building the infrastructure layer that connects lenders, dealers, and data across the automotive finance ecosystem.

The Opportunity

The foundation is strong, the data is massive, and the opportunity is enormous. Our platform is stable, scalable, and actively used across the automotive finance ecosystem. We are a small but mighty team. As we enter our next phase of growth, we’re bringing more development capability in-house to move faster and expand the platform.
