Trusted by more than a thousand multinational employers, health plans, and health systems, Carrot's comprehensive clinical program delivers industry-leading cost savings for employers and award-winning experiences for millions of people worldwide. From maternity through menopause and pre-pregnancy through parenting, Carrot is dedicated to expanding access and improving outcomes. Carrot empowers members with compassionate, personalized, and inclusive support.

The Role:

We are looking for a Lead Engineer, Payments to join our Product and Engineering Team. As the technical lead for Carrot’s financial systems, you will focus on payments infrastructure and take ownership of building secure, scalable systems that move money reliably to members and customers worldwide. This is a highly visible, hands-on role where your work will directly improve access to fertility and family-forming care for people who may not otherwise be able to afford it.

As a foundational member of our financial engineering function, you’ll shape the long-term direction of our payments architecture. You will own technical outcomes, influence roadmaps, and collaborate across teams to deliver scalable solutions that meet evolving business needs. You thrive in fast-paced environments, take initiative in the face of ambiguity, and balance quick wins with long-term planning.

You’ll partner with Product, Finance, and other teams to design and build secure, resilient systems. Your work will include integrating external SaaS tools and building internal infrastructure that is accurate, compliant, and easy to maintain.

This is also a people management role. You will lead and support a small team of engineers, providing regular feedback, coaching, and career development. You’ll foster a culture of trust, inclusion, and delivery while helping the team navigate ambiguity and align with business priorities.

The Team:

  • We are a fast-moving, adaptable, and highly collaborative group of skilled Engineers, Engineering leaders, Product leaders, and Designers, working with teams across the organization cross-functionally to enable cohesive solutions across the product and business.
  • Our engineers work closely with external vendors to move funds accurately and quickly to members, customers, and partners across global markets.
  • We aim to build systems that are scalable, transparent, and easy to evolve as Carrot’s offerings expand.
  • We favor a Lean approach to our product development, following the parts of agile that work best for us.
  • We’re empowered to make local decisions, reducing the overhead of getting things done.
  • We highly value having effective feedback mechanisms alongside empowerment to support continuous iterative improvements in all we do, to achieve better outcomes together.
  • We welcome new technologies and are constantly self-evaluating our tools to ensure they are solving our needs.

Minimum Qualifications:

  • You have 2+ years of experience in an engineering management capacity.
  • You have 2+ years of experience as a Staff or Lead-level engineer with full-stack responsibilities.
  • Experience in fintech, payments, or financial systems.
  • Strong technical skills across backend development, systems design, and vendor integration.
  • Experience integrating with SaaS-based financial tools or payment platforms (e.g. Stripe, Airwallex, Modern Treasury, Plaid).
  • You thrive in leading through complexity and ambiguity, adapting to emerging challenges and business demands, while thoughtfully but pragmatically considering tradeoffs to make informed decisions.
