We have enormous and engaging technical challenges. We are designing an API that can drop easily into any one of dozens of ecommerce platforms, proprietary and off-the-shelf, hosted and on-site. We need to verify online identity and predict fraud while providing a beautiful and frictionless consumer experience, and mine user and financial information to approve and price credit, all in real time. And we are using technology to explore new approaches to consumer credit marketplaces that have never been attempted before.
We are looking to hire a senior engineer to join the current technology team in continuing to build out our core platform and product. This senior engineer will:
be responsible for leading design and implementation of new features and iterations of our core platform
continue to develop our core infrastructure for Bread’s scalable and reliable services
deliver new working code every two weeks in a fast-paced, code-focused agile development environment
work with the rest of the engineering team to deliver new functionality to face merchants, consumers, investors, and internal users
design new iterations of our merchant integration APIs

Experience building scalable, reliable distributed systems

A passion for engineering and technology
Preferred
