About Us

Gr4vy (pronounced Gravy), is a "no-code" cloud payments orchestration platform. Gr4vy’s mission is to become the platform-of-choice by which all retailers deploy payment infrastructure around the world. Founded by former PayPal fintech leaders, Gr4vy is set to disrupt the $4 Trillion global retail payment space by removing the complexity of merchants running their own payment infrastructure.

Having both raised a total of $27.2M in funding and nearly doubling our valuation in less than a year, it’s an exciting time to join the engineering team of this innovative B2B startup. You’ll have the opportunity to build with the best in the industry while driving Gr4vy’s product marketing strategy from the ground up.

About The Role

Software Engineers at Gr4vy collaborate across product, engineering, design, and other stakeholders. We work in short two week sprints & regularly share, reflect on and iterate on our work.

Our platform uses Python and the FastAPI framework along with React and Typescript for most of our frontend. We use unit, integration and acceptance tests to drive design and keep everything working.

Key Responsibilities

• You actively contribute to the team's projects and follow best coding practices.
• You are open to learning new design patterns for backend tasks.
• You have influence over the tasks within your immediate team.
• You work with the product manager to ensure understanding of tasks.
• You work with support from senior engineers to better understand problems and solutions.
• You review PRs from peers to better understand how others are implementing solutions.
  
  

Requirements

We’re looking for developers with practical experience and knowledge with coding, testing, and debugging in Python.

Why you’ll love working at Gr4vy

You’ll be joining at a truly momentous time in our company’s life cycle. We want your imprint on how the world experiences Gr4vy as the leader in the fast-growing cloud payments space. Come and bring your skills to a growing team of 11. You’ll influence, challenge and help build our inclusive culture and passion for equity. A global identity is in Gr4vy’s DNA, with employees currently spanning Europe and the San Francisco Bay Area.

Our Fine Print

We choose laughter first. Sometimes our standups veer into debates about food, family (furballs included), and unlimited lifehack fails. We’re committed to learning, to advocating, and to doing better for our customers and ourselves, every day.

Diversity statement

We value all the great benefits that diversity brings and encourage everyone to bring their whole self at work, regardless of gender, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age or disability.
