Job Description
We're building the one-stop shop for creator finances. Your favorite digital creators—the ones you follow every day on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok or Twitch—aren’t just extraordinarily talented persona
Key Highlights
- Lead by example — writing production code, owning system design decisions, and setting technical standards.
- Partner with product, design, and operations to define and ship high-impact features.
- Build and mentor a small, distributed, high-performing engineering team with a culture of collaboration and accountability.
- Establish best practices around system design, testing, security, and deployment.
- Drive alignment across engineering and product on priorities, tradeoffs, and execution.
Qualifications
Required Qualifications
- 6+ years of professional software engineering experience.
- 2–3 years in a leadership or managing role.
- Proven ability to ship high-quality products end-to-end — from system design to launch.
- Strong product sense: you care deeply about user experience and business outcomes, not just code quality.
- Track record of cross-functional collaboration with product, design, and operations teams.
- Experience in system design, architecture, and scaling modern web applications.
- Strong communication skills — able to distill technical tradeoffs into clear recommendations.
- Prior product management experience (or strong desire to flex into product responsibilities) is a big plus.
- Fintech or payments experience is a plus, but not required.
- Working in an early stage startup experience is a plus, but not required.
- Comfort with ambiguity and a “get shit done” mentality.
