Bread is a technology company that aims to transform the way the world shops
online. We build tools, technologies and APIs that allow e-commerce merchants
to integrate installment loan financing and other alternative payment products
anywhere in their customers’ shopping journey. Bread was started in 2014 by
financial technology veterans, and has experienced explosive growth to date.
We’re backed by top investors including Menlo Ventures, Bessemer Venture
Partners, Kinnevik, among others.
Bread has enormous and engaging technical challenges. We need to verify online
identity, predict fraud, and approve and price credit while providing a
beautiful and frictionless consumer experience, all in real time. Our
engineering team is seasoned, talented, agile, and quickly growing. We are
looking to hire an Engineering Manager to join the current engineering team in
continuing to build out our core platform, product, and teams.
This role will sit on our Members team, which is responsible for building out
our new financial servicing platform. As Bread grows to become the best API
for all types of POS payment opportunities, this team will build the engine
that allows us to run and service those instruments over time. There are many
real time high volume processes such as payment processing and lifecycle
management the team needs to build for, as well as heavy data pipelines for
various accounting and reporting jobs which need to scale as we continue to
grow. The members team also builds out the internal tools and portals which
allows other business units at Bread to operate each and every day. With
respect to our consumers and financial partners, this team is building the
post-checkout engine of Bread.
The Members team is cross functional and owns multiple backends written in Go,
as well as multiple React frontends, all of which are integral to the success
of the business.

Engineers at Bread also get the opportunity to participate in “20%” time
through Working Groups! Working Groups are quarterly teams of 4 to 6 engineers
who set out to tackle a specific engineering initiative outside of their core
engineering team. Working Groups have included ones for Logging Architecture,
Internal Authentication, Community & Blogs, Testing Infrastructure, and
Monitoring. Groups meet every Friday to plan and own their roadmap and
implement their features. All engineers get a chance to be in one of these
groups and over time potentially lead a group for that quarter. It's another
opportunity as an engineer at Bread to have impact across the entire
organization!
