Description

Wagestream is on a mission to bring better financial wellbeing to frontline workers.We partner with some of the world’s most famous employers, like Pizza Express, Hilton and the UK’s National Health Service, to give their teams access to fairer financial services - all built around flexible pay. Almost a million people can now choose how often they’re paid, track their shifts and earnings, start saving, use budgeting tools, get free financial coaching, and access fairer financial products.

All in one financial wellbeing super-app.Wagestream is unique: VC-backed and growing at scale-up pace, but with a social conscience.

The UK’s leading financial charities and impact funds were our founding investors, and we operate on a social charter - which means every product we build has to improve financial health and reduce the $5.6bn ‘premium’ lower-income earners pay for financial services each year.You’d be joining a team of 100 talented, ambitious people, growing in Europe, Australia and the USA, building a category-leading fintech product and all united by that same mission.

The Opportunity:

When an employer signs up for Wagestream, we build and deploy integrations with their payroll, HR and WFM (workforce management) systems so that we know about their employees and how much they have worked and earned. Although we've done hundreds of these integrations already, each one is a little bit unique and there are many more out there.

Forming part of a Squad focussed on launching clients, you will be at the heart of our mission, empowering people around the world to access their income as they earn it. With the support of our Sales Engineers and Delivery Managers, you will work directly with customers to integrate their systems with those of Wagestream, as well as on larger system level pieces of work to improve the platform functionality.

Every company uses slightly different terminology, jargon and data models, so the core engineering challenge is figuring out how to adapt and normalise these idiosyncrasies into a common framework, through both engineered and negotiated solutions.

The technology stack is AWS+Python+Postgres. You should also have a strong command of SQL and of cloud-based architectures.
