Senior Full Stack Engineer, Customer & Cardholder Experiences

Description

The team builds user interfaces and embeddable solutions that improve how the company's customers and their cardholders experience its card issuing platform, which lets companies issue cards, authorize transactions and run payment operations in real time.

The company is an early player in embedded finance and powers well-known brands in the new economy. You do not need prior payments experience to start.

The hiring process runs as follows: a recruiter call, a hiring manager video call, a virtual onsite of four or five 45-minute calls, then an offer. Jamie Guidry, Senior Manager, Software Engineering, is the hiring manager. Kayla Osuna is the recruiter for this role.
