What the job involves

- Operational Excellence: Participate in on-call rotations, lead postmortems, and improve system observability and resilience
- Mentor & Lead: Coach junior and mid-level engineers, give constructive feedback, and model proactive ownership
- Raise the Bar: Consistently challenge yourself and others to grow, push boundaries, and embody a mindset of continuous improvement
- Influence the Direction: Shape technical strategy, contribute to architectural discussions, and help set engineering standards
- As with any startup environment, you may be expected to wear multiple hats and take on additional responsibilities as needed to support the team's success
Application process
- While the interview process may vary by role, the typical framework includes: an application, an HR interview, a peer interview, a technical assessment, a hiring manager interview, and founder interviews
Our take
Buy Now Pay Later services have become more popular in recent years, but there is now discourse surrounding their potential to contribute to debt spirals and credit damage. Kasheesh offers an alternative to BNPL with software that empowers customers to split online payments across multiple debit and credit cards.
Kasheesh’s web browser extension lets online shoppers split payments across debit, credit and even gift cards without paying fees or interest. It generates a one-time card for each transaction to ensure maximum privacy, and is an attractive option to people budgeting to avoid overdrafts and credit card overuse.
It’s a smart pitch as well as a unique one, inserting itself in payment cycles before debt and fees can be accrued. As of February 2023, the company had facilitated over $40 million in transactions mostly through organic growth, indicating a hunger for BNPL alternatives within the payments sector.
