Senior Software Engineer
Tremendous is the global platform built for businesses to send payouts - gift cards and money - to anyone, anywhere, instantly. We're trusted by 20,000+ organizations, from startups to giants like Google, GitHub, and Notion, to reach millions of recipients worldwide.
We're profitable and growing without outside investors. We're fully remote, with a high-documentation, low-meeting culture that leaves more time for the work that matters - and for your life outside it. Our employee NPS sits in the 80s.
What we work on: Customers can send thousands of payouts in a few clicks, but making that simple takes complex engineering. We move billions of dollars through our platform, manage a catalog of 2,500+ redemption options, and deliver to recipients in 200+ countries. Our work spans the whole experience: helping businesses get started, giving large organizations the tools to manage their payouts, expanding what customers and recipients can do with Tremendous, and building the platform that supports it all.
How we build: Engineers drive projects end to end, from helping shape what gets built to measuring whether it worked. We work async, so writing is how work gets done here. Projects start with a tech brief, and we document decisions so teammates can catch up without another meeting. We use AI throughout to write and review code, explore unfamiliar parts of the codebase, and pressure-test ideas.
What we value: We’re deliberate about which tech debt we tackle and when, prioritizing work that unblocks development and strengthens our infrastructure. When incidents happen, we respond, conduct a blameless post-mortem, and address the underlying causes - whether they’re in our systems, processes, or application security. We work through problems openly, seek input from people who know the problem best, and change our minds when someone has a better answer.

Every open role is fully remote and there is no office to report to. Tremendous has historically hired across the Americas and has more recently been adding roles in Europe and the UK, so eligibility is set per role rather than by one company-wide list — check the location line on the posting you are interested in. Wherever you are, the team keeps baseline collaboration hours from 12 to 3 PM Eastern and gets together for semi-annual company offsites and in-person team meetings.
Tremendous pays localized salaries, which its handbook defines as market comp influenced by where you live, benchmarked against Pave and Radford data. Every role posts its band in the currency that matches the hiring location — mostly USD, with GBP on UK and Europe roles. The same title carries a lower band in Brazil than in the US, and every level includes equity. Comp levels are reviewed each January and July, without anyone having to ask for a raise.
Unlimited, untracked PTO that you are explicitly expected to use, 12 weeks of paid parental leave for all parents plus 4 more for a birthing parent after five months at the company, and fully covered health, dental, and vision for US employees. The home office stipend is $750 and resets every three years, and professional development runs on a company card for anything under $200 a year, no approval needed.
Work is async-first and the documentation bar is high, so the calendar stays light and big recurring meetings get scrutinized hard. Major decisions still get a live discussion: the handbook is explicit that it is not a no-meeting culture. In the company's own words: if you prefer briefs to meetings, speed over certainty, and transparency to silos, you'll be right at home.
No. Tremendous bought out its original investors in 2013 and has been owned by its founders and employees ever since, and it is profitable with no outside investment. It has scaled past 150 employees across three continents on that footing, and reviews comp levels every January and July rather than on a fundraising cycle.
