Full Job Description

ABOUT COLUMN For companies building financial technology and transforming the financial services space, the biggest bottleneck to their growth and innovation is often the underlying banks and infrastructure stack they rely on. We have spent our careers founding and scaling companies like Plaid, Square, Meta, Blend, and Affirm, and have seen this problem firsthand — builders and developers needing to partner with traditional banks, and creating API and abstraction layers over the patchwork that is the bank, its core, and many other vendors. All of this results in a complex (and often expensive) banking supply chain involving a user, fintech, BaaS middleware provider, bank, core and the Federal Reserve.

THE OPPORTUNITY: As a Customer Engineer at Column, you’ll get the chance to work with some of the coolest companies in fintech and help them understand how to build solutions/products using our APIs and data model.

You'll also contribute to gathering and synthesizing product feedback, identifying gaps, and supporting the development of product requirements while learning how we prioritize new feature development with our engineering team. This role requires more technical aptitude than the average Customer Engineering position - you'll need to understand our technology deeply to be an effective partner to our customers. You'll also assist in buildi
