## About the Role

Do you have experience in Tooling?, * 5+ years of experience building production backend systems (fintech experience a plus)

 * You've built services that handle real money, real users, or real-time decisions: and you care about getting the details right
 * Proficiency in Go (our primary backend language), or a similar language with willingness to ramp quickly
 * Experience using AI tools (code assistants, MCP servers, agentic workflows) to accelerate development, or genuine enthusiasm to adopt them
 * Experience ensuring data consistency and transactional integrity across distributed systems
 * Strong with relational databases: schema design, migrations, and query performance tuning
 * Comfortable designing API contracts consumed by both internal frontends and external partners
 * Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS), CI/CD pipelines, and deployment tooling
 * You've participated in on-call rotations and incident response, including root cause analysis
 * You communicate clearly and collaborate naturally across product, design, and engineering teams
 * You thrive in ambiguous environments and make pragmatic tradeoffs to keep shipping

We don't expect every candidate to match every bullet. If you're excited about what we're building and confident you can contribute, we'd love to talk.

Stack

Go, MySQL, DynamoDB, Temporal, Kafka, Kubernetes, AWS, GitHub Actions, Datadog, Statsig.

## Description

* Own critical financial systems end-to-end: from transaction authorization and ledger accounting, to credit decisioning, to rewards engines and payment processing.
 * Build net-new products, not just maintain existing ones: as Imprint expands into new financial products and a deeper rewards platform, you'll design and ship systems that don't exist yet alongside improving the ones that do.
 * Contribute to foundational platform work: invest in shared services, API infrastructure, and developer tooling that make the entire engineering team faster and more reliable.
 * Leverage AI across the stack: from prototyping to testing to production code, learning how to leverage AI tools is a core consideration for how we work.
 * Work across a wide cross-functional surface: product, design, infrastructure, compliance, solutions engineering, and brand partners.
 * Move fast with real responsibility: this is a growing company where individuals drive impact, not a large org where you wait for alignment.
