Truss

Sanity Check This role is in-person in San Francisco or remote; you must work in-person in San Francisco for the first 2 weeks if hired. We can sponsor a TN Visa if you are a Canadian citizen relocating to San Francisco. We do not sponsor any other visa categories. If you are not legally authorized to work in the U.S. and not eligible for a TN, this isn't the role. About the Role This isn't a "we'll hire ops when we're bigger" role. We're 10 people, growing ridiculously fast, and the things that keep a fintech company alive — bookkeeping, AP, vendor and customer contracts, partnership follow-through, hiring, insurance, banking relationships, the boring-but-fatal-if-you-miss-them parts of regulated finance — currently land on the founder's desk. They shouldn't. We're hiring a Head of Operations & People to run the company day-to-day so the founder can stay heads-down on product and our Series A raise. You'll be the operator the rest of the company routes through. When something needs to get done that doesn't have an obvious owner, you own it. We're not looking for a functional specialist. We're looking for the kind of person who has run ops in a small fintech before, who reads contracts without flinching, who keeps a bookkeeper honest, who can push a partnership across the finish line, who can hire a payroll provider and not just have opinions about it. A senior Swiss Army knife. The person who quietly keeps the company running while everyone else gets to focus on their job. If you've only ever worked inside a function at a 500-person company, this isn't your role. What You'll Actually Do Run finance ops day-to-day. Manage the relationship with our bookkeeper and fractional accounting partners. Own the close cadence, AP, bill pay, expense workflows, and corporate card admin. Make sure nothing fails because nobody paid for it. Own contracts end-to-end. Vendor agreements, customer agreements, NDAs, employment paperwork, partnership contracts. You'll route to outside counsel where it matters, but you'll be the one driving the document, redlining the boilerplate, and getting it signed. Push partnerships across the finish line. Founder opens the door, you do the follow-through. Diligence packets, KYB requests, integration paperwork, scheduling, status tracking. Partnerships die in inboxes; not ours. Build the people function from the basics up. Hiring ops, offers, onboarding, payroll, benefits, equity admin, compliance training. Pick the tools, set the rhythms, write the first versions of the policies, and make sure the team has what they need without making it bureaucratic. Own compliance and admin. Business insurance, state registrations, banking relationships, SOC 2 program support alongside engineering, audit prep, regulatory inquiries. Be the founder's force multiplier during the Series A. Investor scheduling, data room hygiene, diligence response coordination, closing checklist. Keep the company running so the raise doesn't slow product down. Catch what falls. At 10 people things slip through. You're the net. What We're Looking For 7+ years of operating experience in fintech, payments, or banking — non-negotiable. You've worked inside a regulated financial environment. You know what KYB, OFAC, BSA, and SOC 2 mean without Googling them. You've seen what a bank partner's compliance team asks for and you can produce it. You've run ops at a small or early-stage company, not just held a seat at a big one. You know what it feels like to own five functions at once and you prefer it to specializing. Strong with contracts — vendor, customer, employment, partnership. You can read them, redline them, push back on the bad ones, and get the rest signed. You know when to loop in outside counsel and when to just close it. Direct experience working with bookkeepers, controllers, or fractional CFOs. You can keep the books clean, the close on schedule, and the AP queue empty. You don't need to be the accountant, but you can tell when one i

Full-Stack Engineer with Design Taste San Francisco, CA, US / Remote (CA) Full-time • Engineering, Full stack • 4+ years Sanity Check This role is remote in Canada. Or in-person in San Francisco. We can only sponsor a TN Visa if you come to the San Francisco office (you are a Canadian citizen moving to the US). If you are remote in Canada, you must be a Canadian Citizen or a permanent resident; we will not sponsor your visa. About the Role This isn't a role where you'll be picking from a Figma library someone else built or shipping CRUD screens that look like every other B2B SaaS dashboard. You'll own product surfaces end-to-end — design and code — across our web app, back-office, and marketing site, working directly with the founders to ship interfaces that people actually want to use. Our stack is Django on the API, React + TypeScript on the web client, Next.js for the back-office and marketing surfaces, and Postgres under the hood. We build inside Cursor, manage work in Linear, and use AI tooling as a core part of how we write and ship — not as a gimmick. If you can't point us at live URLs of work you have personally designed and shipped, this isn't your role. We're not looking for a full-stack engineer who "cares about design." We're looking for someone who would have been a designer in another life and learned to code so they could ship their own work without compromise. Our Stack API: Python / Django Web Client: React (TypeScript), Tailwind, storybook for components Back-Office & Marketing: Next.js (full-stack) Database: PostgreSQL Mobile: React Native (not Expo, due to tap-to-phone pmt’s build) Infrastructure: GCP, Terraform, GitHub Actions AI Agent: In-house, built with Agno (Python) Tooling: Cursor, Sentry, Linear, Graphite, Claude design What You'll Actually Do Own product surfaces end-to-end — design and code, from Figma to production, from typography decisions to Django models Ship features across the web client and back-office that construction firms use to move real money — payments, invoicing, reconciliation, onboarding flows Push our design system forward. Set the bar for how the product looks, feels, and behaves, and bring the rest of the surface up to it. Build and rebuild marketing pages that don't look like a Webflow template. Our website should look like the company we want to be. Use Cursor and AI-assisted workflows daily — not as a curiosity, as your default Make technical and design decisions that matter — we're early enough that what you build now defines the product for years What We're Looking For A personal website plus URLs to live websites and product surfaces you have personally designed and shipped. This is non-negotiable. The links go at the top of your application. We will open them. If you can only send Dribbble shots, Figma prototypes, or a Notion page of screenshots of work you "contributed to," save your time and ours. 3+ years building production web applications — you've shipped real products, not just side projects Deep React + TypeScript experience — hooks, state management, component architecture, performance, accessibility. This is your frontend home. Strong Django + Python — ORM, REST framework, migrations, background tasks. You don't need to be told what select_related does. Comfortable in Next.js — App Router, server components, SSR/ISR. You can ship a marketing site that scores well and looks better than it scores. Strong with PostgreSQL — schema design, indexes, query optimization. We're a Postgres shop. Strong product design sensibility — typography, spacing, hierarchy, motion, restraint. You can hold your own in a Figma file and you have opinions about why things look the way they do. Hands-on experience with Cursor as your development environment (non-negotiable) Actively using AI tools in your development workflow — not just curious about them, actually shipping with them Experience with Linear or similar modern project management tools for day-to-day work Serious ba

If you are remote in Canada, you must be a Canadian Citizen or a permanent resident; we will not sponsor your visa. About the Role This isn't a role where you'll be tweaking padding on someone else's components or shipping reskins of web flows wrapped in a WebView. You'll own our mobile app end-to-end — design and code — working directly with the founders to ship native experiences that move money in the real world. Our app is a bare-workflow React Native build with native modules for NFC tap-to-pay, biometric auth, and deep integrations with our payments backend. No Expo. The bridge, TurboModules, and platform-specific build pipelines are part of your job, not someone else's. We build inside Cursor, manage work in Linear, and use AI tooling as a core part of how we write and ship — not as a gimmick. If you can't show us apps you've personally designed and shipped, this isn't your role. We're not looking for a frontend engineer who "cares about design." We're looking for someone who would have been a designer in another life and learned to code so they could ship their own work without compromise. What You'll Actually Do Own the Truss mobile app — design and code, from Figma to App Store, from pixel decisions to native module work Ship features that field workers actually use in the dirt and rain — tap-to-pay, card management, transaction flows, onboarding Work in the native layer when you need to — Swift/Kotlin bridge code, TurboModules, Fabric, platform build tooling Drive design system decisions for the mobile app and push them back into our broader product surface where it makes sense Use Cursor and AI-assisted workflows daily, including for the parts of native mobile development where the tooling is genuinely behind (you'll help us push it forward) Make technical and design decisions that matter — we're early enough that what you build now defines the mobile product for years What We're Looking For A personal website that demonstrates design prowess and showcases apps you have personally designed and shipped. This is non-negotiable. Link goes at the top of your application. If it's a Notion page with screenshots of work you "contributed to," save your time and ours. 5+ years building production mobile apps, with deep React Native experience — hooks, navigation architecture, performance profiling, list virtualization, gesture handling, animation (Reanimated, Skia) Real bare-workflow experience. You've written native modules. You've debugged a Hermes crash. You've shipped a build through both stores without an Expo abstraction in the way. Comfort in the native layer — Swift/SwiftUI or Kotlin, Xcode and Android Studio, code signing, provisioning, the build tooling that React Native engineers usually hand off Strong product design sensibility — typography, spacing, motion, information hierarchy. You can hold your own in a Figma file and you have opinions about why things look the way they do. Hands-on experience with Cursor as your development environment (non-negotiable) Actively using AI tools in your development workflow — not just curious about them, actually shipping with them. Bonus if you've found ways to make AI tooling useful for native mobile work, where most engineers say it isn't. Experience with Linear or similar modern project management tools for day-to-day work Serious background in real-time strategy games — Warcraft 3, StarCraft, StarCraft 2, Age of Empires, or similar (non-negotiable). We believe the strategic thinking, resource management, multitasking under pressure, and rapid decision-making that RTS players develop translate directly to how great engineers operate. If you know what APM means and why it matters, we want to talk to you. Must be legally authorized to work in Canada (or eligible for TN status to S

Location In-person positions are available in San Francisco, or remote opportunities are offered for candidates in Canada. We do not hire remote employees in the US, only in Canada. The Role Truss runs a custom-built back office that powers our reviews, case work, and risk decisions. It works — but most of it still runs through human review, and the volume is only going up. We're hiring a Back Office Engineer to change that. Your job is to build the automation layer on top of our back office. Most of the reviews and cases that run through it today shouldn't need a human. Your work will: automate the routine reviews end-to-end, build the systems that let us handle cases at the scale we're growing into, and design the architecture that catches fraud before it happens rather than after. This is a high-leverage applied AI role. The systems you build will run at high volume against real operational workloads, so quality, observability, and the right guardrails matter from day one. We want someone who can move fast, build things that hold up under scrutiny, and treat the back office as a serious engineering surface — not a backwater. You'll work directly with the founder. Truss is a small team — 11 people today — so there's no layer between you and the decisions. What you ship matters, and you'll see the impact immediately. What You'll Do Automate back office reviews. Take the high-volume, repetitive review work happening in our custom back office today and replace it with reliable, auditable automation — with clear human-in-the-loop escalation paths for the cases that need judgment. Build automation to handle cases at scale. Design the workflows, queues, and decisioning logic that let case volume grow without growing the ops team linearly. This means thinking carefully about routing, prioritization, SLAs, retries, and audit trails. Build the architecture to catch fraud before it happens. Move our posture from reactive review to proactive prevention — instrumentation, signal aggregation, and real-time decisioning that stops bad activity before it lands on someone's queue. Apply AI thoughtfully. LLMs and other models are the right tool for a lot of this work, but they need evaluation harnesses, guardrails, and clear behavior when they're uncertain. You'll own that whole loop, not just the prompt. What We're Looking For Minimum 3 years of professional software engineering experience. Strong instincts for automation and workflow systems — queues, state machines, retries, idempotency, audit logging. You know how to build software that holds up under scrutiny. Hands-on experience shipping AI/LLM-driven features in production, with real opinions about evaluation, guardrails, and when AI is and isn't the right call. A pragmatic, ops-aware working style. You enjoy working alongside non-engineers, can translate fuzzy operational pain into shippable software, and care about whether the thing you built actually saved someone time. Payments or fintech experience is required. You should have shipped production software in a payments, fintech, or adjacent regulated financial environment, and be comfortable with the domain — chargebacks, KYC/AML, dispute lifecycles, fraud detection, or similar. Nice to Have Experience building fraud prevention or risk decisioning systems. Background working closely with operations, trust & safety, or compliance teams. Prior experience with evaluation pipelines for LLM-based decisions in regulated environments. How to Apply Apply with your GitHub and a personal website.

About Truss We started by building a B2B payment platform in Canada called MazumaGo — and discovered that most of our customers were construction companies. Contractors, subcontractors, custom home builders, flooring installers — businesses that still get paid by check because the existing digital tools (Bill.com, Stripe, Square) weren't built for how construction actually works. We took everything we learned and pivoted to the U.S. to build a banking and payments engine purpose-built for SMB construction, with a built-in network effect. Truss lets construction businesses send and collect payments digitally in a way that's actually easier than depositing a check — no fees, no complexity, no friction. We soft-launched a beta in 2023, fully launched in 2024, and have been growing rapidly ever since. We're a small team (under 5 engineers), backed by Y Combinator, and scaling fast. About the Role We need a Senior Full-Stack & DevOps Engineer who ships fast, thinks in systems, and treats infrastructure as one part of their toolkit — not their whole identity. At our scale, DevOps and security don't fill a full-time calendar. We need someone who can own that surface area efficiently and then spend the rest of their time building product, automating the dev cycle with AI, and helping a tiny engineering team move like a much bigger one. You'll be working across a rapidly growing payments platform serving thousands of construction firms. The stakes are real — when something breaks, contractors don't get paid. Our Stack API: Python / Django Web Client: React (TypeScript) Back-Office: Next.js (full-stack) Mobile: React Native Infrastructure: GCP, Terraform, GitHub Actions AI Agent: In-house, built with Agno (Python) Tooling: Sentry, Incident.io, Linear, Graphite What You'll Do Ship features end-to-end. Build across the Django API, React TS web client, Next.js back-office, and React Native mobile app. You're an engineer first — product work is the majority of your time. Automate the dev cycle with AI. Build AI-powered PR reviews, automated code comments, Sentry-to-patch pipelines that turn incidents into fixes, and automated QA funnels. Contribute to our in-house Agno-based AI agent. Own infrastructure and CI/CD. Manage our GCP infrastructure with Terraform, maintain GitHub Actions workflows, and keep builds, deploys, and uptime monitoring running smoothly. Own security and compliance. Lead security audits, manage IAM and access controls, maintain information security policies (Separation of Duties, Data Management, BC/DR), and support SOC 2 compliance. Manage incident response. Configure Incident.io, build automated incident-to-resolution workflows, and participate in on-call rotations. Your First 90 Days Days 1–30: Learn the codebase by shipping small issues across the stack. Get feedback from the team. Start evaluating our infrastructure and security posture. Days 31–60: Own a full-stack feature end-to-end — scope it, build it, ship it, working alongside the team. Begin drafting action plans for any infrastructure or security gaps you've identified. Days 61–90: Measure the impact of what you shipped and proactively iterate based on feedback and data. Start rapidly implementing your infrastructure and security action plans. What We're Looking For 6+ years of software engineering experience with strong full-stack skills — Python/Django, React/TypeScript, and ideally Next.js or React Native Solid DevOps and infrastructure experience — GCP (or equivalent), Terraform, GitHub Actions/workflows, CI/CD pipelines Genuine enthusiasm for using AI tools (LLMs, code assistants, custom agents) to automate development workflows and eliminate toil Experience with or strong interest in building automated PR review, code quality, and incident response pipelines Understanding of information security, IAM, and compliance in a fintech or regulated environment A bias toward action and urgency — you ship fast, communicate proactively, and don't wait to b

Sanity Check This role is remote in Canada. Or in-person in San Francisco. We can only sponsor a TN Visa if you come to the San Francisco office (you are a Canadian citizen moving to the US). If you are remote in Canada, you must be a Canadian Citizen or a permanent resident; we will not sponsor your visa. If you are a 10X engineer, then the above does not apply to you. About the Role This isn’t a role where you’ll be maintaining legacy systems or sitting through three layers of approval to ship a feature. You’ll be writing code that moves money, working directly with the founders, and shipping to production fast. Our stack is React.js on the front, Python Django on the back, and Postgres under the hood. We build inside Cursor, manage work in Linear, and use AI tooling as a core part of how we write and ship software — not as a gimmick. If you’re the kind of engineer who’s already using AI to work faster and thinks most JDs sound like they were written by HR software, keep reading. What You’ll Actually Do Build and ship full stack features across our payments platform — from the React UI your users interact with to the Django services that process transactions Own entire features end-to-end: scoping, building, testing, deploying, and iterating based on real user feedback Work with payment processors, banking APIs, and financial data providers — the integrations that make a payments company a payments company Use Cursor and AI-assisted workflows daily to move faster, write better code, and spend less time on the tedious stuff Manage your work in Linear, collaborate async, and ship with a small team where your contributions are immediately visible Make technical decisions that matter — we’re early enough that the architecture choices you make today will define the platform for years What We’re Looking For 5+ years building production web applications — you’ve shipped real products, not just side projects Deep experience with React.js — hooks, state management, component architecture, performance optimization.
