Software Engineer, Backend (Product Engineering)

Who We Are

Imprint is building a next-generation co-branded credit card company to serve America’s great brands. Some of our partners include H-E-B, Turkish Airlines, Brooks Brothers, and Eddie Bauer. Imprint is backed by Kleiner Perkins, Thrive Capital, and Affirm. We are focused on building a brilliant team who want to change payments and who embody Imprint’s Operating Principles.

The Team

Product Engineering is dedicated to designing, developing, and maintaining the products that are used by cardholders through the entire Imprint cardholder journey. The cardholder journey includes the initial application (which can be online or in-person), account functions in the web and mobile app experience, innovative rewards programs, transactional communications, and more. The team prides itself on building a user experience that is best in class at every stage of the cardholder journey, doing so in a way that is secure, scalable, and always focused on a positive customer experience above all else.

Location

This role will be a hybrid work format, with time split between working remotely and working onsite from either our San Francisco, Seattle or New York offices, 2-3 days a week as required by your manager.

• Sophisticated, rules-based rewards configurations
• API-based partner integrations
• SDKs that extend the Imprint UX to partner companies’ user experiences

• Write code that is scalable and testable, while also building and maintaining end-to-end testing that covers complex flows, such as rules-based reward redemption flows that rely on streams of events that could span weeks or months.
• Participate in the architectural process that precedes building new features, services, APIs, and integrations with external providers.
• Bring ideas to the table that can improve cardholder experiences, increase revenue opportunities, decrease engineering costs, and otherwise support the growth of our fast-paced business.
• Become competent in troubleshooting production issues in several microservices in order to successfully navigate issues that arise during on-call assignments.
• Work with technologies such as AWS, Go, Python, gRPC, Terraform, Kubernetes, Kafka, AI/ML models, NoSQL, and SQL databases.
