As a Senior Software Engineer on the Finance Experience team, you will play a central role in delivering the systems that power seamless, automated expense reconciliation for Perk clients. Your work will span the full stack on features such as employee reimbursements, expense capture, ERP integrations, supplier invoicing, and integrations with third party expense platforms like Pleo and Ramp. You will partner closely with finance, compliance, and cross functional engineering teams to ensure every step in the financial reconciliation journey works smoothly.

Professional Responsibilities

• Architect for today and tomorrow. When a major change is needed, you will write design documents that lay the foundation, manage technical debt, and ensure we invest our energy where it matters.

• Lead across boundaries. You will communicate complex ideas across teams, coordinate cross squad initiatives, and collaborate with architects on solution discovery.

• Raise the bar for everyone around you. As a mentor, coach, and bar raiser, you will support less experienced colleagues, provide feedback, and elevate overall engineering standards.

• Technical Standards: Define and uphold engineering excellence, including CI/CD optimizations, testing strategies, and coding standards across the stack.

• Frontend Strategy: Establish frontend architecture patterns, including state management, performance budgets, and comprehensive testing such as E2E/Cypress.

• Backend Excellence: Engineer sophisticated backend solutions involving API versioning, caching strategies, and complex data migration plans.

• Operational Maturity: Lead observability and SRE practices; define SLOs, manage incident responses, and conduct blameless post mortems.

• Security & Risk: Oversee operational security, including secrets hygiene and dependency risk management to maintain a hardened production environment.

• Mentorship & Influence: Level up the engineering organization through active mentorship, leading design reviews, and influencing the product roadmap with technical data.

• Cross Functional Impact: Coordinate multi team deliverables and align stakeholders to resolve technical blockers across the organization.

• AI Driven Development: Experience with or strong interest in modern AI augmented workflows, including agentic workflows and AI powered code reviews.

How We Work

We believe the best work happens when great people come together in small teams with a shared sense of purpose. Your squad will provide real ownership of features, a say in what gets built, and autonomy to deliver impactful results. We embrace AI across our workflow, using it for code reviews, documentation, and incident triage. All candidates are expected to use AI tools during interviews, and success is measured by code quality and ownership.

Relocation & Logistics

For certain roles, we can assist with relocation from anywhere in the world. This role requires you to be based within commuting distance of our hubs. English is the official language at the office. Please submit your resume in English.
