Messy spend management is tricky business. And tedious processes are a lose-lose situation for all involved, not just finance. We build spend solutions that make managing money seamless, empowering, and surprisingly effective for finance teams and employees alike - with a vision to help all businesses ‘go beyond’.
As a Staff Backend Engineer, you'll take technical ownership of complex business domains, designing, building, and evolving scalable, reliable backend services for our enterprise spend management platform.
Designing and operating distributed systems, event-driven architectures, and cloud-native services.
Designing APIs, service integrations, and reliable asynchronous workflows using technologies such as Temporal.
Continuously improving shared libraries, project structure, development tooling, and automated quality assurance practices to promote consistency, reusability, and maintainability across services.
Leveraging AI extensively but responsibly, including developing guardrails, agent harnesses, and tooling to maintain engineering quality in a fast-paced environment.




We primarily use Node.js with TypeScript, but strong engineering fundamentals matter more to us than experience with a particular language. Our technology stack also includes Temporal, SpiceDB, PostgreSQL, Kafka, and Redis. Remote, but travel to Amsterdam or other offsite meetings in Europe might occasionally be requested.
Prefer progress over perfection, while still caring deeply about quality.
