Job description
We replace paper checks with digital payments and connect law firms and medical providers into a real-time payment network - automating IOLTA trust disbursements, reconciliation, and compliance from end to end.
The problem is massive, painfully manual, and largely untouched by modern software.
If you've ever thought:
- "Why are people still printing and mailing checks in 2026?"
- "Why does reconciling money still involve spreadsheets and human error?"
- "Why isn't there a system that just... handles all of this automatically?"
That's exactly what we're building.
This isn't a CRUD app. This is high-stakes money movement, compliance-critical workflows, and multi-party financial coordination - all in one system.
We're dealing with:
- Real-time payments (ACH, RTP, wires)
- Trust accounting (IOLTA compliance)
- Multi-party disbursements (law firms, providers, clients)
- Reconciliation across bank, books, and ledger
- Audit trails that actually matter
The bar is high. The edge cases are real. The impact is immediate.
You're not just shipping features - you're replacing an entire manual system that law firms rely on today., We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer to help build the core infrastructure and product powering Disbo.
This is a high-ownership, product-focused role - you'll work directly with the founder and engineering leadership to design, build, and ship systems that handle real money movement and compliance.
You will:
- Own features end-to-end
- Make architectural decisions
- Work on complex, real-world financial workflows
What You'll Do
- Design, build, and ship full-stack features (React + Rails)
- Architect systems for payments, disbursement logic, and reconciliation
- Integrate with payment infrastructure (Modern Treasury, ACH, wires, RTP)
- Build scalable, reliable backend services and APIs
- Handle complex edge cases around money movement and compliance
- Improve system performance, observability, and reliability
- Debug production issues and move fast to resolution
- Collaborate closely with product, ops, and leadership
