Build features that matter: You'll work on the stuff that makes Ben work. Benefits browsing, payments, cashback, integrations with providers, company admin tools. Scope it, build it, ship it. You're involved from "here's the problem" through to "it's live and people are using it."
Have a real say in what we build: PMs don't have a monopoly on good ideas. You'll help shape what goes on the roadmap, balance what customers are asking for against what the product needs long-term, and push back when something feels off.
Make technical decisions: How should this feature work under the hood? What's the right way to model this data? How do we make sure this doesn't break when we're 10x bigger? You'll tackle these questions and set the bar for how we build.
Think about the whole picture: At Ben, we think in systems. Our engineering teams have to think about building systems that are scalable, performant and fault tolerant. From building out and improving our payroll system, to building complex workflows to support HR admins (approvals/rejection + notification campaigns), you will be building and maintaining our underlying infrastructure that supports benefit admin for hundreds of thousands of people. Everything connects. When you build a feature, you'll think about how it affects the whole system. What breaks upstream? What changes downstream? How do different providers handle this?
