Spreedly is a rapidly growing, growth private-equity funded digital payments company with headquarters located in downtown Durham, North Carolina. We've developed a high volume, global solution that makes the payment ecosystem better by bringing together a diverse range of merchants and solution providers from around the world.
Our employees help build a culture that values independence, transparency, and collaboration in a digital-first communication environment. We hope you do your best work at Spreedly and find a mature workplace striving to support the ebb and flow of work-life harmony.
We’re seeking a customer driven Engineer to join our newly formed Professional Services team to help drive the next exciting phase of our growth. As a member of Spreedly’s Professional Services team, you will play a key role in Spreedly’s expansion by building custom solutions that accelerate our customers’ and partners’ time-to-value with Spreedly. Professional Services engineers will play a critical role in designing, developing, and implementing customer driven solutions. Projects could span from one week development and implementation engagements to complex, multi-consultant engagements. The ideal candidate will help support the team in building new processes, write documentation and training materials, and create any items needed to effectively scale the professional services business at Spreedly.
As an API based payments service delivering technical solutions to developers, we are looking for someone who has deep technical knowledge and is comfortable working directly with customers. A successful fit for this position is someone who thinks like an architect, executes as an engineer, and identifies ways to effectively scale the engineering function within Professional Services. If you are passionate about building things, enjoy a highly collaborative environment, are comfortable being a self-starter, and take ownership of the work you do, then we look forward to hearing from you.
