## About the role

What started as a way to reward people on their largest expense has turned into an ecosystem connecting our members, property managers and local merchants. We run lean and move quickly. Every person here has a real impact on what gets built and how fast it happens.

- Deep API fluency: you live and breathe RESTful APIs, webhooks, OAuth, and third-party integrations. You can read an API spec and immediately reason about edge cases, error handling, and data flows
- Excellent technical communication: you can explain a complex distributed system to a partner’s engineer, write crystal-clear documentation, and tailor your message for audiences ranging from CTOs to junior developers
- Experience with cloud platforms, preferably Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, containerization, and infrastructure-as-code
- Database knowledge including SQL, data modeling, and experience working with both relational and NoSQL datastores
