Software engineer
Job Description
Highbeam is a banking and cash management platform for businesses that sell physical goods. Traditional banks have underserved consumer brands for decades. They charge fees, provide clunky backend software, bureaucratic service, zero interest on cash, no credit, and offer no intelligence on transaction data. Highbeam does the opposite. We automatically sweep idle cash to high yield, provide cash projections, bill pay functions, a user-friendly interface, smart credit, great service, and more. The results are significant savings for our customers in both time and money. We’re turning banking from a cost centre into a profit centre, and helping small businesses make a better living. We already have hundreds of customers that collectively produce over $1B in GMV (gross merchant volume). We’re on a mission to give brands between $5M and $200M in sales the financial capabilities of the largest brands — but without needing the extra head count. How do we do this? We help automate tasks that treasury and financial planning & analysis teams today do manually. Our small but mighty team comes from places like Shopify, Square, Rippling and Toast. We have raised $7M+ in equity from FirstMark and Mayfield. We are based in New York and Toronto. About this role As one of the first engineers, you will play a critical role in architecting Highbeam's code base. You will partner with other engineers and designers to build out the first products for our customers. You will own development end-to-end—taking ideas from customers, scoping, building, testing, shipping to production, getting feedback, and iterating. This role will be in-person in New York or Toronto. You'll be a great fit at Highbeam if you Love building and delivering high-quality consumer-grade experiences Don't easily give up in the face of ambiguity. You realize work is not always structured at startups and don't shy away from independently charting your own path Enjoy writing maintainable and good quality code, and know what's the right balance between shipping and tackling tech debt Want to be a part in building out the engineering team, company culture, and processes Proficient in backend or frontend development (or both) but at the same time able to work across the stack when necessary Qualifications 3+ years experience in professional software development.
