About Rutter

Rutter is building the common language for business. Rutter is used by companies all over the world to read and write data across commerce, accounting, and payments platforms. Rutter’s Universal API makes it easy for companies to automate accounting processes, deliver data-driven lending decisions, launch in new markets, and more.

We’re backed by a16z and investors from leading fintech innovators like Plaid, Alloy, Ramp, and Modern Treasury.

The Role

You will:

• Build the platform that enables our team to deliver new features and products rapidly and reliably.
• Work on server-side development and optimization of data, including database creation and management and debugging.
• Build the alerting, testing, tooling, and QA processes needed to make maintenance of external dependencies easy.
• Improve the core systems that we use in order to build integrations in order to help Rutter become a first-in-class universal API.
• Integrate data from various back-end services and databases.
• Design ways to build new features that work generically across the entire platform at once.

You are:

• A software engineer with 6+ years of professional experience in back end services
• Excited about building for other engineers
• Experienced building and maintaining large distributed systems
• Experienced with Node, Typescript, and Postgres. However, languages can be learned: we care much more about your general engineering skill than your understanding of a particular language or framework

• Experience working with remote teams across different time zones

What you'll get:

• A fast-paced, collaborative environment

• 401K match
• Ownership & stake in the company
