Senior Software Engineer (Payments)

• Tabs is seeking a Senior Software Engineer specifically focused on building out custom payments workflows and integrations with payment service providers. As a member of our early-stage startup, you’ll have the opportunity to shape the direction of the company and make a meaningful impact on our success
• We work hard. Two-week sprints based on defined goals with short feedback cycles. Built around intra-month product releases
• We work smart. Get in front of the customer, use both data and customer feedback to drive decisions, while keeping the bigger picture in mind. Hash out your ideas with other smart engineers who are dedicated to coming up with great solutions
• We work together. In-office culture with people you want to work with. Lots of whiteboard space. Expense lunch and dinner when in the office, and bagel Fridays!
• Be our payments expert as we build out systems that support multiple PSPs and other exciting similar payment opportunities. There are a lot of moving pieces that have to line up and you’ll own and drive significant projects that make it work
• Work closely with other engineering teams to make sure the entire revenue lifecycle delivers a frictionless billing and payment experience for our merchants and their customers
• Put AI to work everywhere it can move the needle, whether it’s product automation, business process improvement, or the team’s day-to-day workflow. We’re dealing with our customers’ revenue, so we use AI aggressively while also getting the numbers exactly right
• Level up the engineers around you. The team’s about 30 today with a good range of experience and backgrounds, and we’re growing fast. You’ll be someone people look up to as you set the technical bar, mentor and learn from those around you, and shape the kind of culture we want as we get bigger
• Day to day, you’ll be in Next.js, Nest.js, TypeScript, and React
• You’ll have a wide range of GenAI systems and tooling to build with, and a lot of freedom in how you use them
• We run on AWS and Vercel, with Datadog and Sentry for observability, and Stripe and Plaid powering payments
• For everything else, we use modern tools like Slack, Notion, Linear, and Google Workspace

Benefits

• Unlimited PTO: You decide when and how long to take time off
• Fully paid health insurance: Fully paid medical, dntal, and vision insurance
• Complimentary meals: Free lunch and dinner in the office
• Parental leave: Generous paid leave to new parents
• Commuter benefits: Tax-free commuter benefits
• Regular team events: We work hard and play hard

Preferred experience

• You’re genuinely excited about AI, already using it, testing its limits, and keeping up with the latest advancements
• Not sure you tick every box? Apply anyway. If you’re excited about what we’re building, we want to hear from you
• You’ve got a strong grip on the fundamentals like algorithms, data structures, and distributed systems. You know how to apply them where they actually matter
• You’re hands-on with modern languages and frameworks. You still like being in the code, not just talking about it
• You’re the kind of engineer other engineers want to learn from, and you truly enjoy that aspect of the role
• You’ve led big, complex system design before, ideally somewhere that was moving and growing fast
• Ambiguity doesn’t slow you down. You thrive in the early, undefined stage of a problem where you get to shape the answer rather than follow a spec
• You’ve been building software professionally for 5+ years and shipped high-impact products with a specialization in building payments systems with at least a couple of Payment Processors
