Software Engineer, Backend

Who We AreImprint is building a platform that helps the world’s best brands grow the lifetime value of their customers. We started with co-branded credit cards and rebuilt them to be smarter, more rewarding, and brand-first. We partner with companies like Crate & Barrel, Rakuten, Booking.com, H-E-B, Fetch, and Shell to launch modern credit programs that deepen loyalty, unlock savings, and drive growth. But the card is just the beginning. We combine advanced payments infrastructure, intelligent underwriting, and deep customer data to predict what each customer will do next and act on it, so brands can offer powerful financial products without becoming a bank.Co-branded cards alone account for over $300 billion in U.S. annual spend, and most still run on legacy bank rails. Imprint is the modern alternative: flexible, embeddable, and built for how people actually pay today. Backed by Kleiner Perkins, Thrive Capital, Ribbit, and Khosla Ventures, we’re building a world-class team to redefine how people pay and how brands grow. If you want to move fast, solve hard problems, and own real outcomes, we want to meet you.The OpportunityOwn critical financial systems end-to-end: from transaction authorization and ledger accounting, to credit decisioning, to rewards engines and payment processing. Build net-new products, not just maintain existing ones: as Imprint expands into new financial products and a deeper rewards platform, you'll design and ship systems that don't exist yet alongside improving the ones that do. Contribute to foundational platform work: invest in shared services, API infrastructure, and developer tooling that make the entire engineering team faster and more reliable. Leverage AI across the stack: from prototyping to testing to production code, learning how to leverage AI tools is a core consideration for how we work. Work across a wide cross-functional surface: product, design, infrastructure, compliance, solutions engineering, and brand partners. Move fast with real responsibility: this is a growing company where individuals drive impact, not a large org where you wait for alignment.
