Role
Who you are
- 4-7+ years of full-time software engineering experience
- Experience building integrations into or on top of third-party platforms (e.g., marketplace apps, plugins, workflow nodes, agent tools, or platform extensions)
- Deep familiarity with API design, authentication patterns (OAuth 2.0, API keys), and the developer experience of consuming and exposing APIs
- An ability to perform in a fast-paced environment dealing with ambiguous technical challenges. Many of the ecosystems you build for will have immature documentation, evolving specs, or no precedent for what you are shipping
- Experience with Python
- Extensive knowledge of SQL databases (Postgres preferred)
- A product-minded approach to engineering. You care about why something is being built, not just how, and you can make scope and prioritization tradeoffs without waiting for a spec
What the job involves
- Build production integrations that bring Merge into third-party ecosystems: agent builders, workflow automation platforms, cloud marketplaces, and developer toolchains
- Design and ship core product features that unlock new distribution channels and allow Merge to operate natively in environments beyond our own dashboard and API
- Collaborate directly with external partner engineering teams to scope technical requirements, build joint integrations, and get Merge into partner storefronts and marketplaces
- Own the full lifecycle of partnership integrations from architecture and prototyping through submission, review, and production launch
- Identify and build the abstractions, SDKs, and developer surfaces that make it faster to integrate Merge into the next platform, reducing time-to-launch for each new ecosystem partnership
- Work closely with the partnerships, product, and GTM teams to prioritize which ecosystems to enter based on customer demand, strategic value, and technical feasibility
Our take
To help B2B companies navigate the increasing number of APIs needed to integrate SaaS product, Merge supplies a unified API. This provides access to dozens of payroll, recruiting, accounting, and HR platforms using a single integration layer. This way, businesses can work with a large number of APIs without compromising on efficiency.
Merge was founded in 2020 and has already built a large client base for itself, including Deed, AngelList, Ramp and Reachdesk. It has also expanded into new areas, providing support for CRM tools, ticketing systems and project management functions. With an impressively escalating annual revenue, and considerable funding at its back, the company continues to build out its product into new verticals.
