[Hiring] Software Engineer @Brim

Role Description

We are looking for an experienced Software Engineer who can own features end-to-end and make meaningful architectural decisions. The engineering work here is high-stakes and high-leverage. You'll build and scale the systems that power credit card issuance, real-time rewards, and payment processing for our institutional partners - and help mentor more junior engineers along the way.

• Design, build, and maintain PHP and Python services and RESTful APIs across the full stack, with a focus on scalability, security, and long-term maintainability.
• Own features from technical design through deployment - making architectural decisions about data models, API contracts, and system interactions.
• Work with MySQL, JSON data structures, and third-party integrations across banking cores and payment networks.
• Build a deep understanding of our business domain - how credit card programs, rewards, and payment processing work - and use that context to make better engineering decisions.
• Contribute to technical planning and cross-functional discussions with product design.
• Help junior engineers grow through pairing and knowledge sharing.

Qualifications

• 3-5 years of professional development experience, with solid OOP fundamentals.
• Deep familiarity with RESTful API design, MySQL query optimization, and working with complex data structures.
• Experience making architectural decisions - not just implementing specs, but designing solutions.
• Comfort working across the full stack and willingness to pick up whatever technology the problem requires.
• Ability to work autonomously in a remote, async-first environment while staying well-connected to the team.
• Strong written communication for documentation, technical proposals, sync and async discussion.
• Comfort with remote-first, sync and async daily collaboration with fluid times.

Requirements

• Bonus if you have experience in fintech, payments, or credit card infrastructure.
• Familiarity with multi-tenant platform architecture or real-time transaction processing.
• Experience working with LLM APIs or AI-assisted development tools.
• Understanding of security and compliance in regulated environments (PCI DSS, SOC2).

Benefits

• Competitive compensation and equity.
• Remote-first workplace.
• Comprehensive health plan and PTO.
• A team that treats AI as a force multiplier, not a threat.
• Real ownership - you'll ship code to production and see its direct impact on partners and cardholders.
• Room to grow into senior and leadership roles as the team scales.
