Gynger is the agentic credit risk function for tech CFOs - unlocking embedded financing at the speed and scale of tech.
We're a cash flow management platform with embedded financing that gives B2B technology vendors the power to offer flexible payment terms to customers while securing upfront payment. Finance leaders use Gynger to combine actionable insights with capital, optimizing day to day cash flow, accelerating deal cycles, mitigating risk, and executing on long term strategy.
We're building the rails that financed tech B2B deals will run on. Our AI agents sit inside the credit and risk function, embedded directly in the sale, giving buyers buy-now-pay-later flexibility on their technology purchases while vendors get paid upfront.
Founded in 2021 and headquartered in NYC, Gynger has raised $20M in Series A funding with investment from Gradient Ventures, Velvet Sea, BAG Ventures, MXV Capital and others.
For the third year running, Gynger has been recognized as one of Built In's Best Places to Work 2026.
The Role
We're building the AI-native infrastructure for tech financing, and we're looking for a Senior Software Engineer who builds with AI, not just around it.
You'll help architect and develop the agentic systems that run our credit risk function — underwriting, risk monitoring, collections, and payments — as complete processes an agent can carry from start to finish, rather than a single feature layered on top of a workflow. You'll work across the stack, with particular depth on the backend: scalable APIs, thoughtful data architecture, and services built to support real financial workflows. You'll also help shape how we build, bringing modern AI-assisted development practices into our everyday work and helping our engineering standards evolve alongside the tools themselves.
This is a role for someone who wants a hand in shaping the product, the architecture, and the way the team works, not just executing what's already been decided.

📐 About the role
At WRITER, our mission to expand human capacity with superintelligence relies on a foundational truth: our platform must be available, performant, and reliable, 24/7. As an Infrastructure engineer, you'll be at the heart of making this a reality, impacting every enterprise customer who trusts us with their AI-powered workflows. This isn't just about keeping the lights on; it's about pushing the boundaries of what's possible, proactively identifying and solving complex systemic challenges, and laying the groundwork for our rapid growth and the evolving demands of enterprise generative AI. You'll build resilient systems, automate across the stack, and champion reliability best practices, directly enabling our ambitious product roadmap and ensuring our customers always have access to the powerful tools they need.
This is a hybrid position, based out of our New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, or London hubs. You'll report to our director of engineering.
🦸🏻♀️ What you'll do
Technical
- Breadth across disciplines. Bring deep focus to one problem at a time, with the breadth to move between SRE, DevOps, Infrastructure, and Platform work over a quarter or two as the leverage shifts. This is not a thrash-every-week role — most of the time you're heads-down on one substantial initiative (the on-call posture, the release pipeline, the multi-region Terraform layout, the internal platform surface). Cross-layer fluency is what lets you pick the right next initiative; it isn't a weekly context-switch.
- Simplicity / via negativa. Challenge the status quo and remove toil before adding features — automate operational tasks and infrastructure management with Python or Go, reject tools that don't fit the problem, and treat manual on-call work as a defect to be designed out, not a status quo to be staffed up.
- Breadth across the stack. Design scalable, fault-tolerant infrastructure across AWS (preferred), GCP, and Azure, working fluently across Kubernetes, Helm, Terraform, and the supporting cloud and AI tooling that backs WRITER's high-traffic platform.
- AI in workflow. Run agents in your daily loop — Claude Code, Droid, Codex, internal skills — to investigate incidents, draft Terraform / Helm changes, write runbooks, scaffold tooling, and review PRs. Build the agentic setup as a collective surface: humans and digital teammates working as one team, with shared skills, shared context, and shared on-call workflows. Encode recurring infra tasks as internal skills any teammate (human or agent) can pick up and run, so the team's throughput compounds — not just your own.
- Debugging fluency. Lead incident response, post-mortems, and root-cause analyses — trace failures to the underlying problem (never the symptom), apply the learning back into the architecture, and prevent the same incident from happening twice.
Non-technical
- End-to-end ownership. Own the reliability, performance, and efficiency of WRITER's core services end-to-end — define and uphold the SLOs and error budgets, carry the on-call pager, and stand behind the outcome metric, not just the system you shipped.
- Strategic vs. tactical balance. Balance this week's critical work with the 6–12-month platform direction — ship the on-call-driving fix today while shaping the multi-year observability, cost, and reliability investments that move WRITER's enterprise customers.
- Cross-functional collaboration. Operate at the seams with product, security, and engineering peers — provide expert guidance on system design for reliability, performance, and scalability from conception through launch, Connect the infra agenda to product and revenue context, and disagree with evidence, not volume.
⭐️ What you need
Technical
- Track record. 5+ years of experience in infrastructure engineering, DevOps, or a similar role focused on building and operating large-scale, high-availability production systems at a high-growth product company.
- Breadth. Experience running containerisation in production (a real cluster, not a lab), with experience in Helm and Terraform or Pulumi on at least one major cloud (AWS preferred), plus good proficiency in Python or Go for automation and tooling.
- AI in workflow. AI is part of how you ship, not a thing you've read about — agentic tooling (Claude Code, Droid, Codex, internal skills) is in your daily loop, you've built or adopted AI-assisted workflows others now use, and you have strong opinions on where it's unreliable. This is a hard requirement, not a bonus. Candidates whose actual daily workflow does not already include AI tooling will not be advanced.
- First-principles + decision-making. Demonstrated ability to Challenge the status quo, proactively identify systemic weaknesses, and propose innovative solutions to complex reliability problems — reason from constraints and failure modes (not analogy or vendor defaults), name the tradeoff in business terms (reliability vs. velocity, cost vs. blast radius, standardisation vs. one-off), and reject the "best practices" answer when it doesn't fit the problem.
- Reversibility & blast-radius. Make reversible calls by default — write the rollback before you touch production, work fluently with monitoring and logging stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK or equivalent), and stress the system in safe places so it comes back stronger.
Non-technical
- Cross-functional collaboration. Excellent communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills, with a talent for building strong relationships and Connecting with cross-functional teams — surface non-goals before anyone asks, and partner with product, security, and platform peers as one delivery surface.
- Autonomy & end-to-end ownership. A strong sense of ownership and accountability, eager to Own mission-critical systems and drive them toward peak performance and unparalleled reliability. At least one 0-to-1 infrastructure build you owned end-to-end, with the outcome metric attached.
🎁 Bonus if you have
- Software-engineering depth. A software-engineering background, not only config and scripting — you've designed, built, and shipped non-trivial production code (services, libraries, internal frameworks) in Python, Go, or a comparable language, you can read and modify the codebases your infrastructure runs, and you move between infra automation and feature engineering without changing brains.

Crusoe is on a mission to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence. As the only vertically integrated AI infrastructure company built from the ground up, we own and operate each layer of the stack — from electrons to tokens — to power the world's most ambitious AI workloads. When you join Crusoe, you join a team that is building the future, faster.
We're in the midst of the greatest industrial revolution of our time. The demand for AI compute is boundless, and power is a bottleneck. We're solving that — with an energy-first approach that makes AI infrastructure better for the world and faster for the people innovating with AI.
We're looking for problem-solving, opportunity-finding teammates with a sense of urgency, who believe in the scale of our ambition and thrive on a path not fully paved — people who want to grow their careers alongside a team of experts across energy, manufacturing, data center construction, and cloud services.
If you want to do the most meaningful work of your career, help our customers and partners advance their AI strategies, and be part of a high-performing team that believes in each other, come build with us at Crusoe.
About the Role:
As a Forward-Deployed Engineer, you will embed with another Crusoe team, such as SRE, Finance, Sales, People Ops, or a product group. You will learn how they operate and build software that helps them take the next action, not just describe the problem. This is a forward-deployed engineering role serving internal teams. Your customer is a Crusoe team. Your product is the application, automation, or agent that makes their work faster, clearer, and more dependable. Success is measured by adoption and by the time and effort you return to the team. This is also a new function. You will be one of its first engineers and will help shape how it operates.
Several capabilities have matured recently. Modern BI tools now support write-back, so dashboards can update real records instead of only displaying them. Company data and operational context are reachable by AI agents through governed interfaces. Automation platforms and a shared library of reusable skills let you connect actions across many source systems, including CRM, support, infrastructure inventory, and the data warehouse.
Together, these capabilities allow an embedded engineer to deliver interactive tooling in days instead of quarters. We are looking for engineers who want to use that leverage to help internal teams move faster with confidence.
What You'll Be Working On:
- Embed with a stakeholder team. Participate in their rituals, observe manual workflows, and identify high-leverage work that software can remove.
- Build applications. Build interactive tools that take action: read data, apply decisions, and write results back to systems of record.
- Automate real workflows. Replace repetitive work with pipelines and agents that run independently and involve a person when judgment is required.
- Own the work end to end. Scope problems with stakeholders, then build, deploy, measure adoption, and iterate. You are accountable for outcomes, with support from partner teams.
- Contribute to the platform. Turn reusable parts of your work, such as skills, integrations, or UI patterns, into shared building blocks that accelerate future engagements.
- Keep it correct. Build on sources of truth, respect governance and access controls, and make tooling reliable enough for daily operational use.
What You'll Bring to the Team:
- 8+ years building and owning production software. You write clean code, ship it, and remain accountable for it in production.
- Staff-level scope and judgment. You can take an ambiguous, greenfield charter and turn it into a plan and shipped software with limited direction. You raise technical standards and help engineers around you grow.
- Full-stack engineering skill. You can build user-facing interfaces, backend services and APIs, and the supporting data layer.
- Strong SQL and data modeling. You can navigate a data warehouse, reason about pipelines, and validate numbers before relying on them.
- Product mindset and stakeholder fluency. You collaborate well with non-engineers, translate manual processes into clear tools, and push back when a request is not the right solution.
- Fast delivery with attention to correctness. You get a useful version in front of users quickly, then harden it thoughtfully. You maintain a clear standard for completion.
- Comfort with AI-assisted development. You use LLM agents and automation platforms effectively, and understand where guardrails are required.
- Strong ownership. You measure success by whether stakeholder work becomes easier, faster, and more reliable.
Bonus Points
- Experience as a forward-deployed, solutions, or embedded engineer.
- Prior BI or analytics engineering work with tools such as Sigma, Looker, dbt, or Tableau.
- Familiarity with automation platforms such as Workato or n8n.
