We’re backed by a16z and investors from leading fintech innovators like Plaid, Alloy, Ramp, and Modern Treasury.

The Role

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help us build the platform that supports our 30+ integrations. This presents a host of interesting technical challenges, from managing complex external dependencies to supporting data movement and normalization, to setting up measures on data quality.

As our Senior Software Engineer, you are an essential part of Rutter’s Engineering team, and are directly responsible for pushing forward Rutter’s integration platform. You’ll learn our code base, determine the biggest areas for improvement, and align our team on the correct technical direction. You’ll help mentor and train other engineers on the team, and you’ll work closely with your peers. Finally, as with any engineering role, there will be a lot of code to write, review, and ship.

You will:

• Improve the core systems that we use in order to build integrations in order to help Rutter become a first-in-class universal API.

• Own Rutter’s infrastructure, working with the team to maintain our database, our workers, and our servers.

• Build the alerting, testing, tooling, and QA processes needed to make maintenance of external dependencies easy.

• Build out new features and products to help our customers deliver best-in-class e-commerce technology.

You are:

• A software engineer with 5+ years of professional experience in back-end services

• Excited about building for other engineers

• Experienced with Typescript, Node, React, and Postgres. However, languages can be learned: we care much more about your general engineering skill than your understanding of a particular language or framework

You (ideally) have:

• Experience working and scaling API products

• Experience building integrations and managing several external dependencies

What you'll get:

• A fast-paced, collaborative environment

• Unlimited paid time off, quarterly company-wide recharge days, and a wellness stipend

• 100% medical, dental, and vision coverage

• 16 weeks of paid parental leave

• A stipend to buy your laptop and set up your home office

• 401K match

• Ownership & stake in the company

Where we are, and where you’ll be:

We're remote-first, with a local office in Lower Manhattan. We'd prefer that you're local in New York too, but this position can be hired anywhere in the United States.

Examples of what we've built:

Our product lives in our documentation. Here are some interesting features we've built:

• Rutter Odyssey: building integrations 10x faster

• A customizable merchant authentication component called Rutter Link

• Syncing engines that handle data fetching and updates for all of our platform integrations

• Access management controls for merchant credentials, which we refer to as Rutter Connections

• A webhook handling system to deliver real-time store data updates

Compensation

• If performed in New York, the total cash compensation range for this role is $150,000 - $210,000.

• Our actual compensation packages are based on a wide array of factors unique to you, including your skill set, years of experience, and geographic location.

Rutter believes that diversity and inclusion enrich our workplace, so we are committed to hiring talented individuals with diverse backgrounds for our roles, including qualified applicants with prior arrest or conviction records in accordance with local, state, and/or federal laws, including the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance.
