Job description

As a Senior Software Engineer in the Card Engineering team, you’ll help build the foundation of Reap’s card platform-designing, developing, and operating services that power card transactions, fraud detection, card lifecycle management, and developer-facing APIs.

You’ll be a key contributor in a high-ownership, cross-functional environment, working closely with product managers, designers, compliance, and other engineers. From authoring transaction workflows to implementing scalable event-driven services, your work will shape the core infrastructure used by clients, partners, and developers globally.

This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy solving real-world financial problems at scale, care deeply about system correctness and resiliency, and thrive in fast-moving, collaborative teams.

What You’ll Do

  • Design and build backend services for card transaction processing, fraud detection, and/or card program management
  • Contribute to system architecture and technical decision-making with a focus on performance, fault tolerance, and maintainability
  • Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders (Product, Risk, Finance, Compliance) to deliver robust, compliant financial systems
  • Write clean, observable, and well-tested code in a service-oriented architecture
  • Participate in code reviews, incident response, and ongoing reliability improvements
  • Help evolve our engineering practices, tools, and system designs as we scale

Requirements

  • 6+ years of software engineering experience, ideally in fintech, infrastructure, or platform teams
  • Experience building backend systems in a typed language (e.g., TypeScript, Java, Go, etc.)
  • Solid grasp of distributed systems concepts: async processing, retries, observability, eventual consistency
  • Strong judgment in balancing correctness, performance, and maintainability
  • Ability to collaborate in cross-functional teams and communicate technical tradeoffs effectively
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving product environment

Nice to Have

  • Experience in card networks, 3DS, PCI, tokenization, or chargeback systems
  • Built systems involving compliance or regulatory constraints
  • Familiarity with Reap’s stack: TypeScript, Node.js, NestJS, AWS
  • Worked in high-growth startups or platforms with external APIs

Benefits & conditions

  • High-ownership, high-impact role at the frontier of stablecoin-powered finance
  • Work directly with strategic partners and shape how Reap expands its financial ecosystem
  • Operate with significant autonomy as Reap’s technical owner of a key partnership
  • Join a high-caliber team across engineering, product, and operations
  • Insurance coverage after probation
  • Reap Card stipend
  • Use of AI tools at work - and the space to learn, experiment, and grow with them
  • A culture of innovation, inclusion, and continuous learning
