What You'll Do

  • Scale developer adoption, helping customers integrate with the Finch API across hundreds of integration providers.
  • Conduct ongoing architectural assessments of customers' employment data pipelines and recommend changes to reduce friction, improve reliability and optimize their own user onboarding performance.
  • Identify patterns in customer feedback, usage trends, and pain points, then partner with Product and Engineering to prioritize improvements and build solutions.
  • Troubleshoot and optimize API authentication and authorization flows, particularly OAuth, across diverse customer environments.
  • Develop and maintain internal and external workflows, processes, and tooling that strengthen the DSE function and scale customer insights.
  • Advance Finch's developer documentation and resources so that integrating with Finch is as self-serve as possible.
  • Build subject matter expertise across Finch's target verticals, and stay current on market trends to serve as a trusted advisor to customers, as well as inform Finch's product strategy.

What Youll Bring

  • Strong communication skills with the ability to troubleshoot alongside developers and explain technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Comfort working across the stack: you've touched things like Node.js, SQL databases, and caching layers (e.g., Redis), even if you're not writing production code daily.
  • Experience debugging API issues: reading logs, interpreting error codes, tracing request flows, and diagnosing endpoint failures.
  • A track record of driving solutions for technical customers across different use cases and integration patterns.
  • The ability to context-switch fluidly across technical, business, and executive stakeholders.
  • Experience with a major cloud provider (AWS experience is a plus).
  • A strong understanding of API design and development, including REST APIs, webhooks, and data-portability patterns.
  • Genuine curiosity about an ecosystem that's maturing fast. The employment data space is still being defined, and you'll help shape how it evolves.

Success Looks Like

  • Exposure to payroll integrations, employee benefits ecosystems, HR systems, or accounting architecture.
  • Technical end-to-end project management experience.
  • Background in Professional Services, Solutions Architecture, Solutions Engineering, or consulting.
  • Experience using Git in a professional environment.
