About KnotKnot’s mission is to empower consumers and businesses alike with connected merchant and banking experiences. Knot is like “Plaid for merchant connectivity.” We are building the platform connecting merchants to the many applications that consumers and businesses interact with everyday. Our flagship CardSwitcher product allows consumers to instantly update & manage their cards on file with online merchant accounts (e.g. Netflix or PayPal), while newer products like TransactionLink support the retrieval of item-level transaction data. We are building many new products on top of our novel merchant connectivity platform and we hope you choose to come build them with us!Founded in 2021, Knot was founded by two brothers and Thiel Fellows - Rory and Kieran O’Reilly - and today powers connected online payment experiences for hundreds of thousands of consumers. Companies like American Express, PayPal, Current, BILT, Step, and more choose to embed Knot’s SDK in their apps to power best-in-class experiences for their customers.Knot is proudly backed by a select group of investors, including Nava Ventures, 8VC, American Express, Plaid, and co-founders & CEOs of prominent companies like Twitter, Warby Parker, Allbirds, Casper, Intercom, Deel, Italic, DraftKings, and many more.Working at KnotWe’re a world-class team hailing from all over the globe with the vast majority of the company in engineering roles.

You love visuals and obsess over every detail of what you build. You are comfortable with the components of a modern web development stack: React, Tailwind, UI Components (e.g. ShadCN), Figma, AI-native tools (e.g. Cursor, v0, etc.).You frequently build your own projects in your free time and consistently use new/relevant technologies in your work. You can build software in less than half the time it would take most engineers, while maintaining an equal level of quality, and you can do so with minimal product requirements or clear design direction. Most things you build blow people away.You thrive with autonomy to ship, but understand when to collaborate with your team and what decision points are worth discussing. You tackle problems head on and take the initiative to lead the solution.TechReact frontend with Styled ComponentsReact-query for API callsGithub, Linear, v0, Figma, Slack, NotionWhat we offerInteresting and challenging workCompetitive base salary (commensurate with experience) + generous early employee equity + benefits100% medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage for you and your dependents (U.S.)Unlimited PTOParental leaveBeautiful NYC office in the heart of Flatiron
