About Brim
Brim Financial is a category defining fintech, building the operating system for credit cards and payments. Our platform powers card programs for banks, credit unions, fintechs, and global brands across North America. We are a fast growing company. We are backed by EDC Growth Equity, Epic Ventures, Vistara Growth, and Impression Ventures and have been recognized as a CB Insights Fintech 100 company and Deloitte Fast 50 and Deloitte Fast 500 winner.
We are looking for an experienced Software Engineer who can own features end-to-end and make meaningful architectural decisions. The engineering work here is high-stakes and high-leverage. You'll build and scale the systems that power credit card issuance, real-time rewards, and payment processing for our institutional partners - and help mentor more junior engineers along the way.
What You'll Do
Design, build, and maintain PHP and Python services and RESTful APIs across the full stack, with a focus on scalability, security, and long-term maintainability
Own features from technical design through deployment - making architectural decisions about data models, API contracts, and system interactions
Work with MySQL, JSON data structures, and third-party integrations across banking cores and payment networks
Build a deep understanding of our business domain - how credit card programs, rewards, and payment processing work - and use that context to make better engineering decisions
Contribute to technical planning and cross-functional discussions with product design
Help junior engineers grow through pairing and knowledge sharing
What You'll Bring
3-5 years of professional development experience, with solid OOP fundamentals
Deep familiarity with RESTful API design, MySQL query optimization, and working with complex data structures
Experience making architectural decisions - not just implementing specs, but designing solutions
Comfort working across the full stack and willingness to pick up whatever technology the problem requires
Ability to work autonomously in a remote, async-first environment while staying well-connected to the team
Strong written communication for documentation, technical proposals, sync and async discussion
Comfort with remote-first, sync and async daily collaboration with fluid times
Bonus if You Have
Experience in fintech, payments, or credit card infrastructure
Familiarity with multi-tenant platform architecture or real-time transaction processing
Experience working with LLM APIs or AI-assisted development tools
Understanding of security and compliance in regulated environments (PCI DSS, SOC2)
What We Offer
- Competitive compensation and equity
- Remote-first workplace
- Comprehensive health plan and PTO
- A team that treats AI as a force multiplier, not a threat
- Real ownership - you'll ship code to production and see its direct impact on partners and cardholders
- Room to grow into senior and leadership roles as the team scales
