We are looking for highly skilled software engineers to join our backend team. Your main goal is to develop our core backend technology and APIs and design the infrastructure on which all of our external third-party integrations, workflows functionality, and merchant-facing APIs will be built.
Because of the unique nature of our products, our engineering team is experience-focused; creating a truly seamless infrastructure is no easy task. We currently use Python running on AWS, and several frontend technologies, but our tech stacks are growing and changing and we hire agnostically.

Respect. We are a global team - we value the diversity of humanity and seek the good in people. We expect you to be empathetic and cultivate respectful relationships with others.
Humility: We welcome open discussion and candid feedback, and expect all candidates to arrive ego-free and with a commitment to better themselves and others.
Flexibility: Being comfortable with fast-paced working environments is a must. We seek a highly motivated self-starter that can quickly get up to speed and rise to any challenge.
Willingness to learn: We search for champions of learning with a growth mindset. Mistakes are celebrated and part of our road to success.
