What the job involves
- The Foundations team at Coast is responsible for the essential services that allow our customers to transact with confidence
- Whether it is ensuring we are processing payments, the authorization engine that we use to decide whether to approve transactions, or the SMS flows that drivers rely on to provide essential information about how and why they are spending, the Foundations team keeps the engine running that allows the rest of engineering to provide a delightful experience to our customers
- Whoever we hire for this job will get visibility not just across engineering, but the full business, including our risk and underwriting team as well as finance, product, and design

- Anyone who joins the team needs to be able to work in a cross-functional team, meet the velocity needs of a growing organization, and own the outcome across the whole technology stack
- We iterate quickly, prioritize learning from our clients, build quality in, and remain ruthlessly pragmatic
- Build product features end-to-end, from web UI to distributed services back end
- Work to evaluate and integrate critical third-party software and infrastructure including the payments stack
- Challenge the team to automate, improve process, simplify, raise the bar for quality
- Help shape the engineering culture of the company
- Have a voice in early technology and implementation choices
Our take
In recent years, companies like Ramp, Brex, Divvy, and others have emerged to provide easier ways for companies to allow their employees to pay for job-related expenses through corporate cards. However, none of these services really work for businesses operating automobile fleets, approximately 10% of B2B card spend in the US.
That’s where Coast comes in, offering a modern card issuing expense solution specifically built for fleets. The Coast card meets the demands of fleet-specific controls, security, and visibility, contributing to preventing fraud and unauthorised use. Its platform allows fleet managers to visualise spend, block or flag transactions for review, and set their own rules for cardholders.
With back-to-back funding rounds awarded in 2024, Coast has been focused on expanding its team and the platform’s capabilities, offering a wider range of financial products - including parking, maintenance, and other on-the-road expenses on top of just fuel. Its Visa Fleet card program, which enables Coast Visa Fleet cardholders to make payments wherever Visa is accepted, makes it an attractive option in the market as fleet management continues to modernise.
