The posting

What is Coast

Coast is re-imagining the trillion-dollar U.S. B2B card payments infrastructure, with a focus on the country’s 500,000 commercial fleets, 40 million commercial vehicles, and many millions of commercial drivers. The incumbent technologies that cater to these customers are decades old, and businesses with fleets increasingly demand modern digital experiences and transparent financial services products. Coast’s mission is to deliver this at a transformational scale, beginning with the Coast Fleet and Fuel Card built on a cutting-edge spend management platform.

About the Role

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. We’ve embraced AI as an organization and are excited to both improve our own process and build better experiences for our customers. This is a high-agency role that suits engineers who are looking for a large amount of autonomy and responsibility. 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.

What You’ll Do

  • 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.

What Success Looks Like

In your first year, you’ll be successful if you:

  1. Lead a project from idea to production
  2. Implement one AI-based solution that improves the product quality across all of engineering
  3. Contribute to the team culture by bringing your expertise from other stops in your career

Requirements

  • have 4-10+ years experience working with first-class engineering teams with a proven track record of frequent delivery of quality software to production;
  • be experienced working on business-critical services;
  • AI-native mindset: you’re already using AI tools in your daily work and you’re excited to push further;
  • Have owned the full lifecycle of solutions from ideation, to delivery, to iteration;
  • have substantial experience with server-side programming, variety of databases (Postgres, DynamoDB), messaging, REST and APIs in general, distributed systems;
  • have experience with modern web development, in TypeScript;
  • have extensive experience working in cross-functional agile teams in collaboration with product and design;
  • have hands-on knowledge developing applications in the cloud (preferably AWS);
  • have a proven history of delivering complex, highly available and scalable distributed systems;
  • be pragmatic and get stuff done;
  • be passionate about building amazing products for customers;
  • be able to work independently with little oversight or management in a fast-paced, dynamic environment with high-energy and mission-driven colleagues.
  • New York City based; able to be in-office 3–4 days per week

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
