Обязанности

As a Senior Software Developer on the Cards team, you'll own meaningful slices of the card stack end to end — from card issuance and authorization through transaction processing, disputes, rewards, and card lifecycle management. This is not a features-on-top-of-a-BaaS role. We're building card infrastructure in-house, and the person we hire will be able to say they built it.
You'll bring strong technical judgment, a bias toward action, and a deep sense of ownership. You'll work closely with product managers, designers, and engineers to turn complex, high-stakes problems into simple, reliable experiences for millions of Canadians.
Shape and own greenfield work in a space that's still early for — our card program is still in its early years and there's significant greenfield building ahead; if you've built something from scratch before, that experience will go far here
Own complex, end-to-end projects across the card stack — from technical design through implementation, launch, and iteration
Build and improve the backend systems that power our card products, with a focus on reliability, performance, and correctness
Work on core card infrastructure: card issuance, tokenization, authorization flows, BIN management, transaction processing, card lifecycle management, and dispute infrastructure
Make thoughtful architectural decisions and help the team balance speed, quality, and scale — influence what we build, how we build it, and where we go next
Partner closely with Product and Design to clarify goals, surface trade-offs, and deliver outcomes — not just features
Build with the reliability and observability standards that card journeys demand — a declined tap or a poorly handled dispute is felt immediately by our members
Leverage AI-centric workflows to ship faster and safer — we invest heavily in AI tooling and expect senior engineers to push the frontier of how we use these tools
Raise the technical bar through design reviews, code reviews, documentation, pairing, and mentorship
Help create a team culture where people communicate clearly, learn quickly, and take ownership together

Требования

5+ years of professional software engineering experience and a track record of shipping production-grade systems that real users depend on
Experience building and owning backend systems in a payments, card, or financial services environment — ideally with direct exposure to card issuance, authorization, payment rails, or card lifecycle management
Strong backend engineering fundamentals — you understand how money moves, how systems fail, and how to build for correctness at scale
A maker-owner mindset: you're looking for a place to plant a flag, take ownership of a growing domain, and shape it over time — motivated by building the best card program in Canada, not just shipping the next ticket
Comfort with ambiguity and greenfield work — you've built something from 0→1 before and thrive in an environment where not everything is defined yet
An AI-first development workflow that doesn't compromise on rigour — you've moved beyond AI as autocomplete into genuinely agentic workflows, and bring the engineering judgment to know when the model is wrong
Product judgment: you care about the member problem, can simplify complexity, and know when to iterate versus when to invest for the long term
The ability to navigate ambiguity, define a path forward, and bring others along through clear written and verbal communication
Technical leadership and mentorship instincts — you raise the bar through your code, your reviews, your design documents, and the way you support your teammates
A collaborative, low-ego approach to engineering and a willingness to give and receive candid feedback

Будет плюсом

Experience working directly with card networks or card processors — on either side of the integration
Experience building card infrastructure in-house rather than on top of a BaaS platform
Ruby on Rails or experience in a comparable backend language — Ruby is helpful but not a requirement; depth and willingness to ramp matter more
React and/or React Native experience
Experience in a fast-moving environment where engineers have broad ownership and meaningful influence over product decisions
