About the role
Member of Technical StaffAustin, TX | Remote (US) | Full-time
About the Role:
Join Suppli as a Backend Engineer and help rebuild payments for the >$1tn distribution industry. You’ll architect and build the systems that process millions of dollars in transactions daily, integrate with complex ERP systems, and leverage cutting-edge LLM technology to transform how distributors manage their revenue cycles.
You’ll join a small team of A+ players where everyone acts as an individual contributor while actively supporting each other through pair programming and collaborative problem-solving. You’ll work closely with our founder-led team who previously operated a distribution business and understand the real-world problems we’re solving.
Our Engineering TeamsAt Suppli, our engineering organization is made up of specialized, highly collaborative teams working together to build and scale our platform. Depending on your strengths and interests, you may contribute across several areas:
Backend & Platform Engineering: Building scalable systems, APIs, data infrastructure, and the core services powering our products.
Frontend Engineering: Creating intuitive, high-performance user experiences using React and TypeScript, while contributing to our shared design system.
Full-Stack / Product Engineering: Owning customer-facing features end-to-end, collaborating closely with Product and Design to turn complex problems into elegant solutions.
Integrations Engineering: Building and maintaining connections with ERPs and external systems, ensuring reliable data synchronization across our platform.
We value engineers who think beyond their immediate responsibilities, take ownership of meaningful problems, and collaborate across teams to deliver exceptional products.
Who Thrives HereAI-Native: You already use Cursor, Claude, GitHub Copilot, or similar every single day. You treat AI as a pair programmer, not a toy or a threat.
Product-minded: You obsess over the “why” behind features, dig into customer data (or talk to customers), and measure success in revenue and user love — not story points.
Ownership > tasks: You hate being blocked. When something is unclear or broken, you prototype, reach out directly, pair, or just ship a pragmatic solution.
Builder mentality: Strong opinions, weakly held. You default to shipping the simplest thing that works (often with AI help), then iterate fast.
What You’ll OwnHigh-volume payment processing systems and secure financial APIsDeep integrations with major ERPs (NetSuite, Sage, Acumatica, etc.)LLM-powered workflows (credit decisions, remittance matching, automated comms)
Real-time data pipelines handling millions of financial recordsAR / collections automation that directly impacts customer cash flow
Must-Have:
5+ years of backend experience with strong system design chops Expert-level Ruby on Rails (Rails 7+, Ruby 3+) — our core backend is modern Rails and you’ll own huge parts of it from day one → Exceptional candidates with deep experience in Django, Laravel, Spring Boot, or similar who are excited to go all-in on Rails will be considered Advanced PostgreSQL (query optimization, large datasets, logical replication, etc.)Proven ability to design clean, versioned REST/JSON APIsExperience shipping and operating ETL/background-job heavy systems in production
Bonus Points:
- Built or maintained third-party integrations with enterprise software
- Real fintech, payments, or billing experience (Stripe, ACH, lockbox, etc.)Hands-on LLM integration or prompt engineering (bonus if you’ve shipped it to production)
- Previously worked at a Series A–C startup and loved the chaos
- Tech Stack (today — evolves fast)
- Backend: Rails 7+, PostgreSQL, Sidekiq, RedisInfra: AWS, Docker, Terraform, CI/CDAI: OpenAI / Anthropic APIs, vector DBs, Cursor/Claude daily
- Security: Bank-grade encryption, SOC 2 in progress
- Engineering Culture
True end-to-end ownership — no PMs writing pixel-perfect specs. We pair program (human + AI), ship daily, write tests that matter, and refactor mercilessly. AI tools are first-class citizens here: we expect you to 10× your output with them and help us push the boundaries of what’s possible in fintech automation.
