We are actively hiring across North America and function as a hybrid organization. While we embrace remote work, we prioritize candidates who can work from our San Francisco and New York offices.

What we are looking for:

We're seeking a Product Engineer who thrives on building features that delight users while maintaining high technical standards. The ideal candidate has 5+ years of hands-on experience crafting user-facing products, with expertise in modern web technologies, Python, and frameworks like Django.

Beyond coding, we value engineers who can effectively partner with product managers and designers to shape features from concept to launch. You should have experience leading medium-scale projects and a track record of breaking down complex product requirements into clear technical specifications. We're looking for someone who enjoys the full product development lifecycle - from user research and prototyping to implementation and iteration.

Communication is essential in this product engineering role, as you'll collaborate closely with our product and design teams to understand user needs and translate them into elegant technical solutions. You should be comfortable giving and receiving feedback during product reviews and design critiques, while also being able to clearly explain technical constraints and opportunities. A passion for great user experience and a natural curiosity about how your code impacts real users will help you thrive in this position.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent industry experience
  • 5+ years of experience in product engineering backend roles
  • Strong understanding of cloud platforms (ideally AWS) and their services.
  • Proficient in scripting and automation using languages, ideally Python
  • Experience with web frameworks like Django
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently and in a team
  • Excellent communication skills to collaborate with development teams and advocate for infrastructure needs
  • Experience leading medium-scale projects involving another engineer
  • Experience collaborating with cross-functional partners like product managers and solutions engineering 

Key Responsibilities:

  • Collaborate with product leaders to implement company objectives
  • Contribute to innovation related to the Payment Operations Platform team’s mission of settlement, reporting and reconciliation
  • Provide mentorship and guidance to team members on product engineering best practices.
  • Serve on the on-call rotation to support high availability goals

    • Compensation:$130k-$175k USD base + equity + benefits
    • Meaningful work that makes a positive impact on our society.
    • 100% of Medical, Dental and Vision premium coverage for yourself and dependents. 
    • A remote-first work environment with opportunity for onsite meetings.
    • A fun and caring environment that prioritizes transparency, growth, and ownership.
    • A talented, diverse, high-achieving, and humble team with diverse backgrounds and viewpoints.

Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. The range displayed on each job posting reflects the minimum and maximum target for new hire salaries at our headquarters in San Francisco, California.
