 <strong>
  Who are Jack &amp; Jill?
  <br/>
  <br/>
 </strong>
 Ok, I'll go first. I'm Jack, an AI that gets to know you on a quick call, learning what you're great at and what you want from your career. Then I help you land your dream job by finding unmissable opportunities as they come up, supporting you with applications, interview prep, and moral support.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 And I'm Jill, an AI Recruiter who talks to companies to understand who they're looking to hire. Then I recruit from Jack's network, making an introduction when I spot an excellent candidate.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 <strong>
  How does this work?
  <br/>
  <br/>
 </strong>
 <ul>
  <li>
   Jack's an AI agent for job searching and career coaching. He works for you.
  </li>
  <li>
   Jill is the AI recruiter working for the company. She recruits from Jack's network.
  </li>
  <li>
   If it's a match and the company wants to meet you, they'll make the intro. In the meantime, if you'd like, Jack will send you excellent alternatives.
   <br/>
   <br/>
  </li>
 </ul>
 <strong>
  We never post fake jobs
  <br/>
  <br/>
 </strong>
 This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.

Your Mission</b></h1><p>
As a backend leaning <b>Full-stack Engineer </b>at Ben, you&rsquo;ll help build and scale the features that power our platform from benefits browsing and payments to provider integrations and smart admin tooling.</p><p>
You&rsquo;ll take features from idea to production: understanding the problem, scoping solutions, building, shipping, and making sure what you deliver truly solves the need. You won&rsquo;t just be handed tickets, you'll contribute to shaping <i>why</i> we build things, <i>how</i> we build them, and <i>what</i> the future of our product looks like.</p><p>
You&rsquo;ll collaborate across product, design, and engineering to make decisions that matter: data models, integration patterns, API design, scalability choices, and how we support a system used by hundreds of thousands of people. At Ben, everything is connected so what you build helps power payroll workflows, provider integrations, notifications, and everything in between.</p><p>
And you&rsquo;ll do all this as part of a fun, fast-moving startup, spending <b>2 days a week with the team in our Barbican office</b>.</p><h1 class="jobSectionHeader"><b><br>

Are pragmatic able to balance scrappy shipping with thoughtful engineering</p></li><li><p>

Experience with financial platforms, HR tech, or B2B SaaS</p></li><li><p>
Experience building reliable workflows with tools like Temporal</p></li></ul><p></p><h1 class="jobSectionHeader"><b><br>
You will </b><b><i>not</i></b><b> love this role if you&hellip;</b></h1><ul><li><p>
Prefer a slow or highly predictable pace we move quickly and value action</p></li><li><p>
Feel uncomfortable owning projects end-to-end and being accountable for outcomes</p></li><li><p>
Prefer maintaining the status quo we challenge assumptions and improve constantly</p></li><li><p>
Want a heavily structured environment we&rsquo;re still building processes as we grow</p></li><li><p>
Struggle with ambiguity or prefer prescriptive direction you&rsquo;ll get context, but you&rsquo;ll need to figure things out</p></li><li><p>
Wait for others to take initiative this is a proactive, high-performance team</p></li></ul><p><b><br>
Not sure if you meet 100% of the requirements?</b></p><p>
That&rsquo;s okay, careers aren&rsquo;t linear. If you have a strong technical foundation, solid backend experience, and enthusiasm for fullstack engineering in a fast-moving startup, we&rsquo;d love to hear from you.
