Role

Who you are

  • Our ideal candidate has a strong sense of ownership and enjoys owning projects from inception to scaling in production
  • Is looking to take full ownership of their work and make an immediate impact
  • Thrives in a dynamic and fast-paced work environment
  • Loves writing code and values deep technical knowledge as much as delivering great product experiences
  • Has experience shipping high-quality software products
  • Interest in working with our tech stack (React, Typescript, NodeJS, Redis, CockroachDB)
  • Knowledge of functional programming, Javascript, and Typescript’s type-systems is appreciated, but not required
  • Experience working with an IaC such as Terraform to ship code on AWS is interesting, but not required

Desirable

  • Experience scaling distributed systems to handle high levels of burst traffic
  • Familiarity with any part of our tech stack (React, Typescript, NodeJS, Redis, CockroachDB)
  • Extensive knowledge of functional programming, Javascript, and Typescript’s type-system
  • Experience working with an IaC such as Terraform to ship code on AWS

What the job involves

  • Building the logic and systems that power our core financial product, guard against bad actors, and categorize customers into high and low risk — all at scale under demanding latency constraints
  • Setting code-standards, shaping our engineering culture, contributing to our roadmap, and talking to customers to figure out how we can solve their problems with software
  • Designing and building scalable backend systems that can handle hundreds of thousands of requests per second with Typescript
  • Building our production monitoring, logging, metrics, and analytics stack
  • Writing libraries and frameworks to speed up internal development and complicated workflows
  • Helping us put together an amazing team of talented and mission-driven engineers

Our take

Slash is an online banking platform for the “hustle” economy, empowering young entrepreneurs to easily manage their personal and business bank accounts through a single dashboard.

The company has over 20,000 customers that make a living reselling, flipping NFTs, and running e-commerce sites using Slash’s tools. Its checking, invoicing, profit tracking, and virtual cards have been purpose-built for online businesses, giving it an edge over traditional banking solutions hoping to reach the solo entrepreneur market.

Following an impressive funding round in May 2023 the company is focused on expanding its market reach. In addition to building out its banking platform, Slash also aims to become a legal and financial one-stop shop to help young entrepreneurs manage all aspects of their businesses – including tax management, automated bookkeeping, and more. As one of the fastest-growing fintech companies in the US, Slash is well set to build upon its current momentum.
