You'll serve as a senior IC on the team responsible for ledgering money movement and getting money out to the people who need it. You'll help bring more of our core payments capabilities in-house — reducing reliance on external vendors and fintech partners for compliance and control reasons — while designing and implementing the end-to-end product lifecycle for payout solutions, from ideation to launch and iteration.
