About Brim

Brim Financial is a category defining fintech, building the operating system for credit cards and payments. Our platform powers card programs for banks, credit unions, fintechs, and global brands across North America. We are a fast growing company. We are backed by EDC Growth Equity, Epic Ventures, Vistara Growth, and Impression Ventures and have been recognized as a CB Insights Fintech 100 company and Deloitte Fast 50 and Deloitte Fast 500 winner.

This is a role where you'll ship real code into production systems that process credit card transactions and power rewards programs used at merchants worldwide. You'll work alongside senior engineers who will help you grow fast - and you'll be encouraged to use modern tooling to do your best work.

What You'll Do
  • Build and maintain services and RESTful APIs that power our credit card and payments platform
  • Work across the full stack - from backend services and databases to the interfaces our partners and internal teams rely on
  • Work with MySQL databases, JSON data structures, and third-party API integrations across our banking and payment network connections
  • Investigate and resolve bugs in existing systems, developing your debugging skills across the full stack
  • Collaborate with senior engineers and product leads on feature development and technical design discussions
  • Explore and experiment with emerging tools and approaches, sharing what you learn with the team
  • Step in wherever the team needs help - we're a small, flexible team where no task is beneath anyone and the best solution wins regardless of who proposes it
What You'll Bring
  • 1-2 years of hands-on development experience (internships, co-ops, and personal projects count)
  • Solid understanding of SQL and RESTful API design
  • A problem-solving mindset and genuine curiosity about how things work under the hood
  • Willingness to learn the business domain. You'll be expected to understand how credit cards, payments, and rewards actually work, not just the code that powers them
  • Strong written communication skills for async collaboration across time zones
  • Ability to work independently in a remote environment while staying connected to your team. Comfort with remote-first, sync and async daily collaboration with fluid times
  • Comfort working across the full stack and willingness to pick up whatever technology the problem requires
Bonus If You Have
  • Exposure to Docker, CI/CD pipelines, or cloud infrastructure
  • Interest in fintech, payments, or credit card infrastructure
  • Experience working with AI coding tools or LLM APIs
  • Familiarity with high-availability systems or real-time data processing
What We Offer
  • Competitive compensation and equity
  • Remote-first workplace
  • Comprehensive health plan and PTO
  • A team that treats AI as a force multiplier, not a threat
  • Real mentorship - you'll write code that ships to production, not tickets that sit in a backlog
  • Clear path to grow into a mid-level role as you demonstrate ownership and technical judgment
Other Information
  • Remote (US/Canada) | Full-time
  • Compensation: CA $85,000-$110,000
  • Base salary range: For this role, candidates can expect a base salary range, described in the posting. Actual compensation is determined based on skills, experience, and role level. Exceptional candidates may be considered above the top of the range, and pay can increase quickly for those who make a big impact in the role.
