Rutter is building a universal API for e-commerce platforms.

Similar to the financial market before Plaid, the e-commerce market is split across hundreds of platforms, such as Shopify, Squarespace, Amazon, and others. Each of these platforms has its own app store or its equivalent, and the enterprising e-commerce developer must spend thousands of hours building integrations in order to access the entire e-commerce market.

Rutter is building a universal API for e-commerce platforms, accounting systems and payment processors.

Similar to the financial market before Plaid, the world of business financial data is split across hundreds of platforms like e-commerce storefronts, marketplaces, accounting systems and payment processors, such as Shopify, Amazon, Quickbooks, Netsuite, Stripe and others.

Each of these platforms has its own app store or its equivalent, and the enterprising developer must spend thousands of hours building integrations in order to access the entire market.

Rutter is an integration layer for any company building integrations into commerce or accounting platforms. You can learn more about our universal API here: https://www.rutter.com/

Role Description

Rutter is building the common language for business. Rutter is used by companies all over the world to read and write data across commerce, accounting, and payments platforms. Rutter’s Universal API makes it easy for companies to automate accounting processes, deliver data-driven lending decisions, launch in new markets, and more.

We’re backed by a16z and investors from leading fintech innovators like Plaid, Alloy, Ramp, and Modern Treasury.

We have a very ambitious charter and complex customer demands, but we are still building the foundation of the team that can help us win. That’s where you come in. We are looking for our first dedicated technical support engineer, who’d be the primary owner of providing technical support for all our customers.

You’d be working very closely with our customers, product, and engineering teams to solve technical problems faced by our customers. We want someone who is a stickler for attention to details and someone who is not satisfied until a problem is well solved. There are lots of interesting and problems to solve here. Almost too many. As such, you’d be provided space to spread your wings and go for reach goals that interest you beyond your primary responsibilities.

Role Responsibilities

• Own first level of technical support for all our customers.
• You’ll triage all incoming support issues in a timely manner during business hours.
• You'll work on tooling and customer-facing functionality to help customers be more successful using our product.
• Collaborate with product, engineering and the broader organization to improve Rutter’s product offering.

What You Need to be Successful

• Comfortable using tooling like Postman (or curl) to reproduce issues our customers face while using Rutter’s REST API.
• Can write workable code (i.e., non-production quality) in a high-level language like python, typescript, or ruby.
• Love working with customers and helping them be successful.
• Love asking lots of questions.
• Be unsatisfied until the customer problem is well solved.
• Be at least somewhat data-driven about outcomes. Proficiency in SQL is a significant bonus.
• 2+ years of engineering experience or 4+ years of technical support experience.

What you'll get:

• A fast-paced, collaborative environment
• Unlimited paid time off, quarterly company-wide recharge days, and a wellness stipend
• 100% medical, dental, and vision coverage
• 16 weeks of paid parental leave
• 401K match
• Ownership & stake in the company

Compensation

• Our actual compensation packages are based on a wide array of factors unique to you, including your skill set, years of experience, and geographic location.

Rutter is an infrastructure product that runs on Typescript, Node, PostgresQL, TypeORM, and is distributed on multiple AWS instances (we use Heroku and GitHub Actions for deployment). Our main technical challenge is building a scalable, abstract, and realtime API abstraction across the storefront and marketplace APIs we work with.
