About the Role

We’re looking for Software Engineers with 2+ years of backend engineering experience to help build financial infrastructure powering billions of dollars in nonprofit payments.

You’ll own systems end-to-end—from architecture and implementation to production—while working closely with founders, product, and engineering leadership. This is a high-autonomy environment where strong technical judgment, clear communication, and a bias toward shipping are highly valued.

What You’ll Do

• Design, build, and own scalable backend services and APIs.
• Contribute to architecture, engineering standards, and infrastructure decisions.
• Build reliable systems using Go, Node.js, PostgreSQL, REST, and gRPC.
• Develop and operate containerized services with Docker and Kubernetes.
• Improve monitoring, observability, and real-time alerting.
• Work across the platform rather than within a narrowly defined product silo.
• Collaborate directly with founders and leadership to solve complex technical problems.

What We’re Looking For

Required:

• 2–10 years of professional backend/software engineering experience.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or another technical field.
• Proven experience building and owning scalable backend systems end-to-end.
• Production experience with Docker and Kubernetes.
• Experience working in a high-growth technology environment.
• Strong communication, problem-solving, and technical decision-making skills.
• Ability to work onsite in NYC Monday–Thursday.

Nice to Have:

• Experience in fintech, payments, or financial infrastructure.
• Strong proficiency in Go or Node.js.
• Experience with AWS, Terraform, PostgreSQL, REST APIs, or gRPC.
• Experience operating production systems in a cloud-native environment.

Why Join?

• $180K–$230K base salary + competitive equity
• High ownership and autonomy
• Direct access to founders and engineering leadership
• Opportunity to work on financial infrastructure at significant scale
• Broad exposure across backend, infrastructure, and product engineering
• NYC hybrid environment with meaningful in-office collaboration
