Backend Engineer

We’re hiring a Senior Backend Engineer to help build a brand-new product that will transform how finance teams operate. This isn’t incremental feature work, you’ll be helping to remove deeply manual processes and replace them with intuitive, scalable solutions used by 7,000+ businesses worldwide.

If you’re motivated by ownership, real customer impact, and the chance to shape something early, this is the role for you.

Why Join Tipalti Engineering?

Tipalti is a global fintech leader powering modern finance operations — but our engineering culture feels closer to a high-ownership startup than a corporate giant.

• Real Ownership – Engineers shape product decisions, not just tickets.
• Meaningful Scale – Your code impacts thousands of global businesses.
• Engineering-First Culture – We value thoughtful design, clean architecture, and pragmatic solutions.
• Collaborative Teams – Work closely with Product and Design in empowered squads.
• Room to Grow – Expand your scope, influence architecture, and mentor others.

Our tech ecosystem is rich, complex, and constantly evolving as we expand globally and ship new features. You’ll be part of a team that values curiosity, healthy debate, and continuous improvement — always with the customer at the centre of what we build.

The Role

As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll play a key role in launching and scaling a new product area. You’ll work in a cross-functional squad to:

• Turn ideas into well-designed, scalable systems
• Build high-quality features end-to-end
• Deliver solutions that make a measurable difference for customers

You’ll contribute across the stack, with a strong focus on backend APIs and services that power new and existing functionality in expenses and procurement.

Our Current Stack

• C#, Node.JS, Mongo DB, AWS
• Frontend Tech Stack: Typescript, React

That said, our interview process is technology-agnostic. We care more about strong engineering fundamentals, problem-solving ability, and learning mindset than specific framework experience which we discover through a System Design interview.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Design, build, and ship end-to-end features for a new product
• Collaborate closely with Product Managers and Designers to shape technical direction
• Develop and evolve scalable backend APIs and microservices
• Write clean, well-tested, maintainable code
• Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and pair programming
• Mentor junior engineers and help raise engineering standards
• Contribute to a team culture of continuous learning and shared success

About You

You might be a great fit if:

• You take pride in building reliable, high-quality software
• You think in systems and care about long-term maintainability
• You enjoy collaborating and shaping ideas early
• You’re comfortable mentoring others and sharing knowledge
• You thrive in environments where you have ownership and influence
• You’re adaptable and excited to learn new technologies or domains
