Senior Software Engineer, Fintech

About the Team

We own the Pay by Bank product - a fast growing payment method for customers of our partner dispensaries. In service of this, we manage Dutchie’s Payments Service, all ACH transaction logic, and a suite of tooling that serves internal customers like support, compliance, and risk management. We’re working to scale our surface area, so in every development cycle we tend to have a mix of growth features, technical platform improvements, and business-stability projects.

The Financial Platform team is one of two teams within Dutchie’s Fintech organization. We're a collaborative engineering squad with mixed frontend and backend expertise working closely with product, design, and compliance partners. We also partner closely with Dutchie’s ecommerce and core engineering teams.

About the Role:

Our product and platform have good traction, processing millions of dollars in ACH transactions daily, and now we’re looking for a lead backend engineer that can help us keep growing it. You should be able to work with legacy architectures, shaping them to meet our customers’ needs for the future. Challenge our assumptions, and help other engineers at Dutchie grow their own skillset. You’ll be working daily in Ruby on Rails, and spanning two to three different services, partnering with product and core engineering, and making key architectural decisions.

What You’ll Do...

• Develop mission-critical back-end services, including API integrations with third-party platforms and core consumer APIs
• Development of core applications in Ruby, Postgres, MongoDB, Apollo GraphQL, and Kafka, within high-scale, distributed systems
• Mentoring other engineers to unlock their potential, helping them grow their skills to meet the evolving needs of Dutchie’s customers
• Work closely with our Product team in designing and developing customer facing features

What You Bring...

• 5+ years of development experience required. Some Fintech experience is nice to have, but we’ll teach you the basics!
• Experience with Ruby on Rails, and a deep understanding of another backend server language (Java/Golang/Python/C#/etc.)
• Some leadership skills, including experience successfully mentoring others
• Good communication skills, including cross-functional communication
• Experience building and monitoring infrastructure on cloud-native hosting providers (AWS)
• You have experience designing and extending scalable services, data models, and the data stores they depend on
• You take pride in the code you write - it's clean, tested, organized. Strong fundamentals
• You want to work in an agile environment - we move quickly and ship code often

It’s a bonus if you...

• You have gone through a rapid growth in your company (from startup to mid-size)
• You think through problems starting from first-principles and the customer’s perspective
• Experience working in the Financial Technology space
• Contribute regularly to open-source projects

You’ll Get…

We are targeting a starting salary of $149,000 - $201,000 based on the intended level for this role. There may be flexibility on individual compensation packages based candidate skill set, experience, qualifications and other position-related factors.

In addition to cash compensation, our total rewards package includes:

• Full medical benefits including dental and vision plans to ensure you always have the best care.
• Equity packages in the form of stock options to all employees.
• Technology (hardware, software, reading materials, etc..) allowance
• Flexible vacation and sick days
