CardFlight is looking for a software developer to lead our Platform team, providing technical leadership and expertise while building a scalable, maintainable, and rational payments API and associated web-based applications. The Platform team is uniquely situated in our technology stack: It supports our Applications team as they build next-generation payment apps while encapsulating the functionality provided by the Core team that manages our low-level processing capabilities. Your responsibilities will focus on owning, scaling, and improving a platform that moves millions of dollars per day. You will also mentor and share your broad perspective on building scalable systems with other engineers.

Experience working with a payments platform is great but in no way required. If you have technical leadership experience and an opinionated but pragmatic approach to building application interfaces, you may be the right person. While the current tech stack is Ruby-based, you should be able to learn new technologies quickly and be motivated by using the right tool for the job. This is an opportunity to be a senior voice in our broader Engineering team.
