Who is Rainforest?

Rainforest is an early stage payments-as-a-service startup that has developed a solution that makes monetizing payments for vertically focused software platforms fair and simple.

We focus on small-to-mid sized platforms that want to add value to their small business customers through embedded payments — and want to do so without adding operational or regulatory burdens or costs.

Led by a successful repeat fintech founder with deep knowledge of the industry, and with venture backing from a Top 10 VC firm, Rainforest is well positioned to make an impact in the payments-as-a-service space, and we're looking for new team members who want to be a part of this journey!

You’ll know you're the right candidate when you enjoy digging into the details of reliable payments technology and crafting tickets, collaborating with vendors integrated in the payment flows, and looking for opportunities to grow and expand your product experience.

What are some of the high-impact opportunities you’ll tackle?

Owning delivery of product initiatives and releases by defining, documenting, and communicating goals, requirements, and constraints
Working with product leadership to translate product strategy into well-defined functional and technical requirements for the engineering team
Functioning within the Rails engineering team, attend agile meetings, help communicate the product stories and requirements, and execute the delivery of a product into production at scale
Helping to manage and prioritize the product backlog
