About the role

  • We're hiring a Staff Software Engineer to join Pivotal's brand new Financial Systems team, a small, technical group focused on how money moves through our platform and into the hands of the providers we serve.
  • If you want to work on a hard problem with a strong team, real ownership, and room to grow, this is it.

Responsibilities

  • Own the technical direction for money movement logic: Build the business logic that determines how funds are calculated and distributed: how much goes to the client, how much flows through the IDR system, and how refunds are handled after billing.
  • Drive technical decision-making and documentation: As a technical leader on a small team, you'll be expected to define standards, write supporting documentation, and ensure the team's technical decisions are clearly reasoned and well-recorded.
  • You set the bar for how the team builds.
  • Grow with the team: Staff Engineers are expected to be tech leads of their respective project workstreams. You'll have the opportunity to shape not just the codebase, but the team structure itself.
  • Experience building integrations with third-party platforms: ERPs, CRMs, financial systems, or similar
  • Startup or early-stage experience: you understand what it means to build in an environment where organizational infrastructure is still taking shape
  • Lead the architecture and build of greenfield integrations: Design and implement our ERP and Salesforce integrations from the ground up.
  • While processes like IDR (Independent Dispute Resolution) were designed to promote fairness, they're often administrative-heavy, time-consuming, and difficult to navigate without the right tools.
  • Experience growing into or functioning as a tech lead on a small, fast-moving engineering team

Requirements

  • 7+ years of software engineering experience with a strong backend focus
  • Proven track record of owning architectural decisions on complex, production systems
  • Strong understanding of financial or payments systems: you understand how money moves and what correctness means in that context
  • Comfortable in greenfield environments: you can operate without established playbooks and make sound decisions in ambiguity
  • Direct experience with Salesforce or ERP integrations (e.g., NetSuite, Sage, QuickBooks)

Nice to have

  • Experience with transactional systems and distributed architecture is a plus.

  • We help providers efficiently dispute underpaid claims, reduce administrative burden, and recover the reimbursement they're entitled to; without adding more work to already stretched teams.
  • We're building solutions that enable providers to operate with clarity, control, and confidence across the reimbursement journey.
