Staff Software Engineer - Credit Rewards

Toronto, Canada; Vancouver, Canada

As Marqeta’s Staff Software Engineer, you will autonomously deliver ongoing business impact across a team, product capability, or technical system. You will own and deliver bi-annual/annual goals for your team, be an expert at identifying the right solutions to solve ambiguous, open-ended problems that require tough prioritization, and define technical solutions or efficient operational processes that level up your team. You will be a strong leader within your team with your impact beginning to extend outside your team and will increasingly optimize beyond just your team by driving cross-team or cross-discipline initiatives.

The Rewards Team in Credit Engineering is responsible for accurate and timely accrual and redemption of credit rewards. This is a high performing team working on the highest initiative project within Credit. The new rewards platform will allow our customers to customize every aspect of accrual, conversion, and redemption to match their loyalty goals.

At Marqeta, participation in a rotational on-call pager duty is a required part of the software engineering role. The specifics of the rotation may vary by team, depending on team size and structure, and will be discussed further during the interview process.

We work Flexible First. This role can be performed remotely within Ontario or British Columbia, Canada. We’d love for you to join us!
