About the role

As the Lead Software Engineer supporting Frisbee Rewards, this role will serve as the backend technical anchor for the Frisbee consumer application, while also acting as the execution lead across Attain’s mobile engineering teams.

This is an exciting opportunity for a senior developer who is excited about growing into a broader technical leadership role that will make an impact cross functionally.

You bring strong backend engineering experience and enjoy owning systems end to end, including making pragmatic architectural decisions in ambiguous problem spaces
You’re excited to design and build backend services that orchestrate product behavior, business logic, and user experience
You enjoy working closely with mob
