Job description

Specifics About The Role

We are hiring a Senior Software Engineer to own the financial ledgering systems that sit at the heart of Frame. You will work primarily in Rails, Go, and TypeScript on systems where correctness isn't a preference. It's the only acceptable outcome. The surface area is focused. The problems are deep. You will work across Engineering, Risk, Compliance, and Product on systems where a rounding error is never just a rounding error.

Why Frame

Frame is a compliance infrastructure company powering payments for complex, highly regulated industries. We enable businesses to move money with confidence by embedding compliance and payments into a single, intelligent platform. Our ambition is to become the infrastructure layer that regulated businesses rely on to operate, scale, and access services globally.

At Frame, how we build matters as much as what we build. We're headquartered in Los Angeles with a globally distributed team. We're committed to running an inclusive and accessible hiring process. If you need any adjustments along the way, let us know.

What You'll Do

• Build and own core ledgering infrastructure including double-entry accounting systems, settlement logic, reconciliation pipelines, and financial state management across the merchant lifecycle
• Own payment infrastructure spanning direct network and card scheme integrations, tokenization, ACH and card processing, and payout logic
• Build internal operations tooling including dashboards, case management, and workflow automation
• Ship developer-facing APIs and documentation
• Build AI-powered pipelines for document processing and automation that touch financial data

What We Require

• 4+ years of software engineering experience with strong Ruby on Rails and TypeScript skills, or comparable framework experience
• A track record building financial systems where precision, auditability, and consistency are non-negotiable with an instinct for clean abstractions
• Experience building APIs that are obvious on first read and systems that feel inevitable once you understand them
• You move when things are unclear, find another path when a dependency slips, and ship to learn rather than waiting for perfect

You’ll Be Successful If

• You have a fintech, payments, or regulated infrastructure background
• You have experience building or maintaining ledgering, reconciliation, or settlement systems at scale
• You have experience with developer-facing APIs or SDKs, AI/ML pipelines touching financial data, and Go
• You are someone who doesn't wait for permission
• When something is blocked, you find a way around it
• You don't quietly absorb other people's misses
• You treat consequences as feedback and hold a high bar for yourself and the people around you
• You care about taste as much as speed: the system that feels inevitable, the API that clicks on first read
• You move before it's perfect, and care enough that it's still good

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans. If you would like more information about how your data is processed, please contact us.

Benefits

• Unlimited PTO with trust to manage your own time.
• A wellness budget covering dental, vision, and a free Equinox membership, plus team-led running and spin groups.
• Daily lunch and a fully stocked snack kitchen in our Los Angeles office.
• Apple hardware, Frame branded merch, regular company off-sites, and a relocation package if you're not already local.
