About Keep

Keep is the fastest growing Canadian fintech startup ever. We built the first cross-border bank that offers Canadian businesses credit cards, deposit accounts, currency conversions, and revenue financing at no-cost.

We are a team of seasoned global startup veterans with previous exits that are building Keep to be the next generational banking institution of Canada.

We have raised millions from the top VCs in fintech and are now scaling.

About the role

We’re looking for a Founding Backend Engineer to join our global remote team. If you have a track record of leading complex technical projects with many moving pieces we should chat. You will be working closely with the cofounders and CTO to drive direct business impact and shape our long-term technical vision with a high-quality bar.

Responsibilities and Duties

• Build core new features and products that change the lives of entrepreneurs and their families.
• Own problems end-to-end, thinking through everything from user experience, data models, scalability, operability and ongoing metrics.
• Uphold our high engineering standards and bring consistency to the codebases, infrastructure, and processes you will encounter.
• Direct the execution of complex projects with other engineers.
• Identify and prioritize improvements to the team’s processes, codebases and best practices.

Requirements

• Be aggressive and driven - you’ll be expected to match the output of an all-star team of startup veterans who have raised tens of millions of dollars across several industries.
• Unparalleled attention to detail - this is a financial services company in a highly regulated industry. Your code should reflect that.
• Experience architecting, developing, and testing client-side code (we use TypeScript, NextJS, React, Chakra UI, and Apollo)
• Experience with NodeJS, GraphQL, Prisma
• Familiarity with software engineering development cycles
• Ability to hold yourself and the team to high standards
• Strong communication (written and verbal) and interpersonal skills
• Ability to provide in-depth evaluation of multiple technical directions and determine tradeoffs of each
• Strong propensity to make data-driven decisions on technical architecture and project prioritization

What type of people are we looking for?

Transparent communicators - If you say you will do something, do it. If you’re having trouble, let someone know. We can’t all be everywhere at once, so we rely on each other to flag issues and raise concerns where needed.

Comfortable in a fast-paced setting - You'll need to be comfortable working in a fast-changing environment with incomplete information. We're a young, agile company.

No egos - Everybody gets their hands dirty and jumps in where needed.

Self-directed - We are a globally remote company. We don’t like micromanaging because it doesn’t work and we believe in trusting people to get their work done.
