Job Title: Senior Software Engineer - Backend
Job Location: San Francisco, California
Job Listing URL: https://jobs.lever.co/cardless/4af33618-2c94-420c-9337-a1ea2ae92801
Job Description: About Cardless
We make it easy for businesses to create and scale financial products that customers love—starting with credit cards. We’ve launched 14 credit cards, including for Alibaba and Qatar Airways. Our strategy is simple: partner with businesses that strive for the best, not just the cheapest—with solutions that set a new standard. And reach those others can’t, by solving challenges no one else will.

We value curiosity, humility, and intensity — we move fast and take ownership. This is a place where a motivated, resourceful person can have an enormous impact on our trajectory. We're headquartered in San Francisco, and have raised about $90M in equity funding from top venture capital firms and angels.

Location
This role is based in San Francisco, where you’ll work in-person out of our office near Dolores Park. For exceptional candidates we’ll consider remote.
Responsibilities
You may be a generalist who's excited to work in many domains, or you may prefer to go deep in a few (e.g. helping us build an extensible rules engine or a highly reliable ledger). Besides writing & reviewing code, you'll plan work, write tech specs & review design docs, lead projects, collaborate across disciplines (e.g. with PM, design, compliance & partnerships), and mentor other engineers.
What we're looking for
Experience designing backend services & systems and scaling them in production. This is more important to us than a specific # of years of experience, but we expect most engineers to need at least 3-5 years in the industry to gain this experience.
Experience leading projects, planning work, collaborating cross-functionally, and mentoring other engineers. A high-functioning, collaborative, and supportive environment is important to us, and you'll play an important role in fostering that.
Broad, high-level expertise across a modern application stack (covering e.g. databases, infrastructure, CI/CD, APIs, client apps, queueing, etc.).
Deep, low-level expertise in one or more backend domains (e.g. databases, scaling, or distributed systems), in the technology/platform of your choice.
Passion for both your craft (building things right) and achieving real-world impact (building the right things for our business & customers).
