Who We Are

Settle is on a mission to make buying inventory super easy. Since the company’s inception in 2019, we’ve been building a cashflow management platform that allows founders and small business owners to more easily manage their company’s financial health with a mix of accounts payable and flexible financing tools. We already work with some amazing brands that you probably know and love, like Branch Furniture, Olipop, Truvani, Starface, and Ghia.

About the role:

As an early Software Engineer at Settle, you will be a key member of the Product Engineering team, helping shape and build impactful, results-oriented systems, products, and features. With strong product-market fit, organic growth, and a clear long-term roadmap, you'll join a dynamic team driving Settle's success.

We are seeking versatile back-end engineers (some front-end exposure a plus) with a product-focused mindset to elevate our business to new heights. The ideal candidate is forward-thinking, capable of designing enduring foundational systems for the coming years, and adept at steering clear of scope creep while delivering incremental value. We want someone who is iterative in their approach, moves with agility, and places the customer at the forefront of their decision-making process.

What You'll Do:

Design and build data models, services, and APIs to power our web-app.
Scale and secure our systems to support an increasing number of users, features, business requirements, partners, and engineers.
Ensure seamless communication and effective collaboration with Product and Design teams in developing customer/user-facing functionality for our app.
Collaborate with fellow engineers to build robust testing, integration, and deployment frameworks.
Ability to independently drive and architect projects to completion, while effectively communicating ideas and progress to both technical and non-technical colleagues.
Mentor and foster the development of fellow engineers.

What You’ll Need:

6+ years of industry experience, preferably in the B2B fintech and/or startup sector.
Technical requirements: Proficiency in CS fundamentals, a willingness to learn Ruby on Rails (our primary backend language), and mastery of OOP principles. Familiarity with an ORM framework, such as Django or Hibernate, is also preferred.
Web-app architecture design. You have curiosity or understanding of how everything fits together from web services up through display and love designing reliable and extensible systems.
Adaptability. We’re a startup and project needs can change quickly. You love to jump into a new problem, learn what’s needed, and solve it.
Customer-centric. You care about the user, strive to understand their needs and build tools to solve their problems.
Leadership. With rapid growth, we need and expect everyone to be a leader. You have the humility and self-awareness to understand and navigate the unknown while holding yourself and others to a high bar.
Startup mentality. Demonstrated ability to be resourceful and thrive in dynamic, rapidly evolving environments.

Compensation:
