Mid-Level Full Stack Engineer - Backend Focused

San Francisco

It’s time that payments work for merchants, not the other way around. Ansa is building a branded wallet solution to increase customer retention and unlock new growth opportunities.

Ansa helps innovative and growing companies by providing an enterprise-grade, white-label stored value wallet platform paired with incentive tooling. Our platform enables our customers to turn stored value and loyalty programs into a powerful growth engine that increases customer retention, drives repeat purchases, and boosts margins, all without the cost and complexity of building it in-house.

We’re seeking a Backend Engineer who wants end-to-end ownership of core backend systems and the chance to have an outsized impact on a product used by fast-growing consumer brands. You’ll make meaningful architectural decisions and work closely with leadership to influence both product and technical strategy. Does this sound like you? Let's chat!

 

🤔 What you will be doing?
  • Scale our core ledger that tracks both digital and physical money movement.
  • Scale our card network integrations that power in-store payments.
  • Build and maintain complex reconciliation infrastructure to make sure we never lose a cent across our partner bank, payment processors, merchants, and card networks.
  • Build and scale our financial reporting & accounting integrations that allow our merchants to close their books seamlessly.
  • Design and maintain our payment APIs and SDKs that make for frictionless integration.
  • Design and build features that prime us for enterprise-readiness, including SSO and RBAC.
  • Design and ship products that help merchants drive end-user adoption and engagement, creating a flywheel of user spend (i.e. our incentives engine and analytics).
  • Scale up our cloud infrastructure as we move towards fully containerized, blue-green deployment.
  • Own end-to-end design, implementation, and release of features.
  • Design and implement engineering processes.
  • Prototype new ideas and iterate towards the ideal user experience.
  • Contribute to our engineering infrastructure.
  • Help grow our engineering team 🎉

👋🏼 About you

  • You have 2+ years of experience independently owning and driving scalable, impactful projects end to end.
  • Based in the SF Bay Area (or willing to relocate!) and excited about working closely in-person with a tight-knit team.
  • Innately curious and brave enough to consider new payment paradigms or verticals for applications, can navigate low information environments.
  • Execution oriented, excited by the high-ownership nature of joining a team at this stage.
  • Interested in building a top class engineering culture from the ground up.
  • Appreciates and looks for elegant solutions but understands trade-offs of robust designs/engineering vs. moving fast.
  • Experience building fast, reliable cloud applications.

😊 Nice to haves 

  • Operated at a growth stage startup before.
  • Familiarity with Golang web frameworks, AWS, Postgres.
  • Experience in building one of these areas: core ledgers, money movement platforms/services, and merchant facing APIs for in-app/online POS.
  • Bonus points if you have experience in mentoring other team members, and have previously worked closely with designers.

🎉 Our culture

We’re a small team with a big mission. That means we have to hold ourselves to a high bar, by design. With limited resources and high ambition, excellence in quality, communication, and ownership, ambition isn’t optional — it’s how we move forward.

  • Accountability — we do what we say, and communicate proactively

  • Thoughtful execution — shipping work that’s not just fast, but intentional. Think about how decisions today will affect us down the road.
  • Pride in your craft — we sweat the details and take our work personally, because it reflects who we are.
  • Kindness and trust — we give each other respect, empathy, and the benefit of the doubt. We assume good intent and act like teammates.
