About the job Backend Engineer

The Role

As a banking-back-end-focused engineer, you will be responsible for making sure financial-related operations run smoothly, from their ACHs to credit card transactions.

They care deeply about the reliability and usability of their platform -- thats one of the key ways they stand out against the bigger banks with travel rewards.

They want to deliver a travel rewards credit card experience that is fitting for the premium market and what they expect. Because cardholder trust is so important in this industry, they believe that making sure the financial backend workings of their product is extremely critical and important to their business.

Your role will require you to:

  • Collaborate with designers & engineers to scope out features and product direction
  • Be responsible for setting the technical direction as well as for planning deliverables
  • Participate in code and design reviews to ensure quality and good architecture
  • Write maintainable, clear, well-architected code, tests, and documentation
  • Set architecture standards and patterns which will be adopted by others as they scale
  • Make direct technical contributions as well as provide guidance to team members

Qualifications

  • At least one year of experience building production-grade software
  • 2+ years of professional software engineering experience, preferably at a startup or big tech company
  • Desire to join a small but mighty team thats ready to take on this multi-trillion-dollar market by storm
  • Intrinsic motivation and the drive to solve difficult problems without guidance
  • Ability to ruthlessly prioritise in a chaotic and ambiguous environment
  • An open and growth mindset when giving and receiving feedback

Nice to Haves

  • A love of travel (hacking) and credit card rewards
  • Experience leading engineering teams and setting design standards and patterns in code
  • Experience with Django, Python
  • Experience writing code in a heavily regulated industry like financial services
