About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

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.

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
