About this role
Role Overview
Own the end-to-end technical integration between Reap and the partner — including design, implementation, testing, deployment, and ongoing maintenance
Build and operate bidirectional data flows: inbound (partner → Reap: funding, settlement, account events) and outbound (Reap → partner: card events, transaction data, reconciliation signals)
Serve as Reap's primary technical point of contact with the partner's engineering team — attending syncs, reviewing their API specs, and driving alignment on integration contracts
Translate the partner's technical requirements and constraints into well-scoped engineering work inside Reap's systems
Collaborate closely with internal Reap teams — Card, Treasury, Onboarding, Compliance — to ensure integration requirements are correctly surfaced and delivered
Monitor integration health in production; own incident response for integration-layer issues
Maintain thorough integration documentation: API contracts, data flow diagrams, runbooks, and change logs
Design robust, fault-tolerant bidirectional integration architecture between Reap and our partner
Implement APIs, webhooks, event consumers, and data transformation layers
Ensure data consistency, idempotency, and auditability across integration boundaries
Build test suites covering integration contracts and edge cases
Maintain a close working relationship with partner's engineering and product teams
Drive joint technical decision-making on integration patterns, versioning, and deprecation
Proactively surface blockers and misalignments before they become production issues
Work with Card, Treasury, Onboarding, and Compliance engineers to deliver integration dependencies
Represent the integration workstream in Reap engineering planning and reviews
Own observability for the integration layer: dashboards, alerting, and SLA tracking
Lead incident response and post-mortem processes for integration-related issues
Continuously improve integration stability and reduce operational toil
Requirements
6+ years of backend software engineering experience
Proven experience building and operating production-grade API integrations with external partners or third-party systems
Strong understanding of integration patterns: REST APIs, webhooks, event-driven architecture, idempotency, retry logic, and error handling
Experience working across organisational boundaries — with partner or client engineering teams
Comfortable operating in ambiguity: translating loosely defined requirements into concrete engineering solutions
Clear written and verbal communication; able to represent technical decisions to both engineering and business stakeholders
Benefits
High-ownership, high-impact role at the frontier of stablecoin-powered finance
Work directly with strategic partners and shape how Reap expands its financial ecosystem
Operate with significant autonomy as Reap's technical owner of a key partnership
Join a high-caliber team across engineering, product, and operations
Insurance coverage after probation
Reap Card stipend
