Staff Data Engineer

Imprint is reimagining co-branded credit cards & financial products to be smarter, more rewarding, and truly brand-first. We partner with companies like H-E-B, Turkish Airlines, Brooks Brothers, and Eddie Bauer to launch modern credit programs that deepen loyalty, unlock savings, and drive growth. Our platform combines advanced payments infrastructure, intelligent underwriting, and seamless UX to help brands offer powerful financial products—without becoming a bank.

Co-branded cards account for over $300 billion in U.S. annual spend—but most are still powered by legacy banks. Imprint is the modern alternative: flexible, tech-forward, and built for today’s consumer. Backed by Kleiner Perkins, Thrive Capital, and Khosla Ventures, we’re building a world-class team to redefine how people pay—and how brands grow. If you want to work fast, solve hard problems, and make a real impact, we’d love to meet you.

The Data Engineering team at Imprint is responsible for building and scaling the data infrastructure that supports product development, analytics, operations, and machine learning across the company. We own the pipelines, platforms, and processes that empower our stakeholders to trust and act on our data.

As our Staff Data Engineer, you'll architect our data platform while solving our most complex technical challenges. You'll build the foundation for Imprint's next decade of growth: scaling infrastructure for explosive expansion, delivering insights that drive million-dollar decisions, enabling bulletproof partner data sharing, and transforming how every team leverages data.
