About the role
Binti builds software for state and county government agencies, focusing on reinventing social services. We started in child welfare, with the mission of helping every child have a safe, loving, and stable family. To date, we’ve helped approve more than 100,000 families to foster or adopt, and we support over 49% of the nation’s child welfare system. We have expanded our product offerings in child welfare, moving more to the root of the problem, helping families stay together and avoid separation, and are now expanding horizontally across other areas in social services. Binti is a for-profit, mission-driven software company based in San Francisco, CA. Investors include Founders Fund, First Round Capital, Kapor Capital, and others. We’re a team of ~90 people and growing quickly. We care about creating a workplace where everyone feels welcome and can bring their full self to work. We have a huge, ambitious vision to rewire government to be more effective in expanding opportunities for people around the world, and we are looking for mission-driven, high-empathy, high-performance, and low-ego team members to join us on our exciting journey towards that vision. OVERVIEW OF ROLE We’re seeking technically sharp, customer-focused engineers who are eager to collaborate closely with our partners to design and deliver integrations that maximize the full value of the Binti platform. As an Integrations Software Engineer and part of the Integrations Engineering team, you’ll take ownership of high-impact, externally-facing technical projects — from discovery and architecture sessions to launch. Strong candidates combine deep engineering experience with excellent communication skills, a service-oriented mindset, and the ability to thrive in dynamic and ambiguous environments. LOCATION Binti is headquartered in San Francisco, California. Much of our team is local to the San Francisco Bay Area and works via a hybrid setup – in-person from the office on Monday & Thursday and remote otherwise. Satellite offices, like Seattle, Washington, set their own in-office days and hybrid policies, but in general employees are encouraged to join the leadership team on the days when they will be in the office for collaboration and team cohesion. A part of this position involves supporting our customers on their integration journey, and therefore, this job includes occasional travel to customer locations (approximately once a month). Opportunities to go on-site with our customers will include design and discovery sessions, co-development work, and technical onboarding. WHAT YOU WILL DO Lead architecture discussions during integration development to ensure that they are built in a sound, reliable, and performant way Optimize and improve the tools that our Binti’s internal delivery teams and our customers use to do their day-to-day work Full Stack coding, 80% back end and 20% front end Mentor other engineers on best practices for software engineering Optimize the performance of integration pipelines, APIs, and components for both latency and throughput Participate in discovery and architecture sessions with customers to ensure that integrations are designed to support our customers needs, best leverage the Binti platform, and be performant, secure, and scalable. Build integration pipelines and APIs that are stable, performant, and scalable, and monitor them to ensure that they are operating properly Work directly with our customers’ development teams, in person or virtually, to provide them live support and consulting as they integrate with the Binti platform and APIs. Provide integration support to our customers, answering questions, offering consultative advice, and assisting them in debugging their integrations. Synthesize and deliver product feedback to enable us to use it to improve Binti’s modules and integration capabilities.

Focus on the longevity of the codebase - notice and advocate for patterns that allow code to be flexible, scalable, and approachable to other engineers Help our team move quickly and learn while maintaining a welcoming and supportive culture Push our product so it continues to be a beautiful, yet intuitive and accessible interface for users from all walks of life Champion security and privacy, including looking for ways to make it easier to safeguard HIPAA compliance for sensitive data and incorporate security best practices. SAMPLE PROJECTS Join other members of the Binti team in meetings with a new customer to understand how Binti will fit into their workflow and information architecture, and then use that knowledge to design an integration using Binti’s APIs or connectors that meets their needs. Collaborate side-by-side, virtually or in-person, with a customer who is integrating with Binti, providing them live support during co-development. Develop new API endpoints, connectors, or other integration tools to improve and extend our integration capabilities Respond to questions and support requests from customers with existing integrations to debug, triage, and fix issues that are discovered post-launch.
