We’re building consumer and enterprise systems at the intersection of e-commerce, fintech, and logistics that will change our relationship with the things we purchase. We’re pre-market, envisioning an entirely new consumer finance paradigm and developing its first version. Note that we’re a distributed team collaborating remotely and meet up in person quarterly.

We’re inviting experienced, senior backend engineers with generalist skills to join the core TipTop team. We are looking for an autonomous operator who is a highly motivated self-starter. Are you a seasoned engineer with previous experience in a fast paced, blue sky, startup environment who can solve problems from a blank slate? This is the place.

You Will:

• Solve complex challenges building software systems for products and verticals that we’re inventing as we work.
• Develop solid, scalable services that manage sensitive financial data and critical business logic.
• Partner and collaborate closely with product designers, infrastructure, client side, and machine learning teams.
• Contribute to the development of consumer facing experimentation and risk platforms.
• Have the opportunity to build and lead a team.

You Have:

• 5+ years of experience as a software engineer architecting, building, launching, and maintaining end-to-end services from whiteboard to production.
• Proven experience leading and implementing complex payment systems and integrations in a scalable way.
• Demonstrated ability turning business and product ideas into engineering solutions – you can go from zero to one.
• Strong CS fundamentals and programming experience in Go and Python.
• A desire to experiment, test assumptions, and challenge hypotheses rapidly.
• The ability to see complex problems as solvable challenges.

Even Better:

• Deep experience of backend services that are needed to run e-commerce platforms and move money on the web.
• Passion for building, bias for action, and are excited by uncertainty.
• You are autonomous and adaptable – own the work, move fast, react quickly.
• Interest and ability to pick up new technologies quickly.
• Curiosity in evolving ML platforms and LLMs.
