ABOUT US At Benepass we're making benefits easy. We believe people are the most important asset to any company. Traditional one-size-fits-all benefits packages no longer cut it in today's hybrid and remote-first environment. With Benepass, companies can tailor their benefits to the unique needs of their workforce. Through our easy-to-use and highly customizable fintech platform, People teams can implement, administer, and track the benefits that meet employees where they are. Employers design their benefits and perks plan by setting a contribution amount and eligible spend categories. Every employee has their own individual definition of wellness and needs different things to help them be their most productive, fulfilled self.

YOU WILL - Design and operate systems responsible for: - Ledgering (double-entry systems, balances, transaction history, reconciliation) - Transaction processing pipelines (authorization, capture, settlement flows) - Real-time decisioning (spend controls, eligibility, rules engines) - Money movement, including support for multi-currency and global transactions - Build systems that are correct by design: - Define and always maintain invariants to ensure correctness under all operational conditions - Idempotent - Strongly consistent where required - Fully auditable - Own the lifecycle of financial transactions end-to-end, including: - State transitions - Failure handling and retries - Reconciliation and reporting - Integrate with external financial partners (processors, banks, networks) and handle unreliable and asynchronous dependencies - Lead architectural decisions and write technical approach documents that clarify trade-offs and long-term implications - Improve system resilience, observability, and operational tooling as volume and complexity grow - Mentor other engineers and help define best practices for building financial systems OUR TECHNOLOGY AND STACK Python, Django, Django Rest Framework, PostgreSQL, AWS, Docker, React, TypeScript REQUIREMENTS - Experience building or operating financial systems such as payments, card issuing, wallets, or banking infrastructure - Deep underst
