Why Praxent?

We get it. You have options. Let us tell you why we’re different. Our work is changing the world of financial services. Everyday, clients arrive with big ideas for their industry. They’re experts in their field with the vision and resources you need to change everything. All that’s left is the right team to bring that vision to life. If you’re a fast learner and you love working on a wide variety of projects, you’re going to like it here. We help our clients modernize, rather than rebuild, outdated customer-facing software applications. Our clients see a return within weeks instead of months and that’s why they choose us.

We trust our people to be their best. It’s a level of autonomy and respect that’s helped us grow a diverse and brilliant team of experts. Experts who also happen to be some of the best colleagues you’ve ever worked alongside.

This opportunity is part of our 2026 project pipeline, meaning we’re proactively connecting with talented professionals for upcoming roles rather than an immediate opening. Additionally, as part of our hiring process, the first step will be a introductory conversation with an AI-powered recruiter. This helps us ensure an efficient, fair, and consistent experience for all candidates before moving forward to human-led interviews.

We like to keep things simple and respectful of your time.

1. Introductory Screen + Light Technical Assessment: ~ 45 minute Video Interview with our AI powered recruiter, Alex. 
2. Final Interview: ~ 75 minute Combined Interview with a Technical Director and Project Lead.

And that's it, just two steps and no drawn-out process!
