✨ Series-A Payments Start-up Reinventing Consumer Cashback
🌍 Remote (US East Coast)
A well-funded Series A payments company, focused on rewarding ‘green’ spending with real cashback, is growing fast, and they’re hiring a backend engineer to help scale their platform from 5m to 50m+ transactions.
Fresh off a successful raise, they’re expanding the team and looking for engineers who thrive in fast-paced environments and want to build meaningful products from the ground up.
You’ll join a tight-knit group of seven engineers, working closely with the founding team to ship clean, scalable code that powers payments at speed and scale. It’s a great fit if you’re early in your career and want hands-on experience building systems that handle real financial traffic.
What You’ll Be Doing:

- Working with PostgreSQL and AWS to scale backend infrastructure
- Contributing to the SDLC from feature planning through release
- Writing clean, testable code and reviewing PRs from teammates
- Collaborating cross-functionally with product and design to shape features from day one
- Learning from a highly experienced engineering team in a high-growth start-up
What They’re Looking For:
- 1–3 years of backend engineering experience at a FinTech, (ideally working with Plaid)
- Proficiency with a modern backend language (Python preferred, but flexible)
- Experience with AWS or similar cloud platforms
- Familiarity with relational databases
- Enthusiasm for start-ups and product-building; big bonus points if you’ve worked at a Series A/B company
- US Citizens or Green Card holders only (unfortunately no sponsorship at this stage)
- All the team is EST but remote, they’re ideally looking to keep hiring folks on the East Coast
Why Apply?
- Competitive comp: base + bonus + meaningful equity
- Fast-moving product team solving real-world payment challenges
- Remote-first culture with genuine flexibility
- Learn directly from an experienced founding team and grow as they grow
- Be part of a mission-driven company rewarding sustainable consumer choices
- Huge ownership and learning opportunity at an early stage
