Who We Are

Imprint is reimagining co-branded credit cards & financial products to be smarter, more rewarding, and truly brand-first. We partner with companies like H-E-B, Turkish Airlines, Brooks Brothers, and Eddie Bauer to launch modern credit programs that deepen loyalty, unlock savings, and drive growth. Our platform combines advanced payments infrastructure, intelligent underwriting, and seamless UX to help brands offer powerful financial products—without becoming a bank.

Co-branded cards account for over $300 billion in U.S. annual spend—but most are still powered by legacy banks. Imprint is the modern alternative: flexible, tech-forward, and built for today’s consumer. Backed by Kleiner Perkins, Thrive Capital, and Khosla Ventures, we’re building a world-class team to redefine how people pay—and how brands grow. If you want to work fast, solve hard problems, and make a real impact, we’d love to meet you.

The Team

Product Engineering is dedicated to designing, developing, and maintaining the products that are used by cardholders through the entire Imprint cardholder journey. The cardholder journey includes the initial application (which can be online or in-person), account functions in the web and mobile app experience, innovative rewards programs, transactional communications, and more. The team prides itself on building a user experience that is best in class at every stage of the cardholder journey, doing so in a way that is secure, scalable, and always focused on a positive customer experience above all else.

Location

This role will be a hybrid work format, with time split between working remotely and working onsite from either our San Francisco, Seattle or New York offices, 2-3 days a week as required by your manager.

  • Bring ideas to the table that can improve cardholder experiences, increase revenue opportunities, decrease engineering costs, and otherwise support the growth of our fast-paced business.

View company profile

Imprint partners with leading global brands to design, launch, and manage co-branded credit card programs that are worthy of modern customers.

Imprint is on a mission to make payments better for modern brands and their customers. To do that, we’re building a payments and rewards platform from the ground up. Come be a part of the future of payments.

Our operating principles

We do things that put the relationship between customers and great brands first

We have a weighty obligation to great brands and their customers, and we don't make decisions that will harm their relationship in the long term.

We give direct feedback and communicate openly

We value intellectual honesty and know that open feedback, collaboration, and communication make us better individually and as a team. We expect constructive, real-time feedback from all team members in all directions, and look for others at Imprint to refine our ideas, provide cross-functional input, challenge us, and deepen our understanding of the business.

We are winners, so we set ambitious goals and timelines

Imprint is intense and we value hard work because we are serious about our mission and about winning. We sign up for bold goals and deliver on them faster than expected.

We presume best intent from each other

Differences in opinion are encouraged. When working through problems with other team members, we look at the situation as “us vs. the problem” instead of “you vs. me.” After a decision is made, we commit to making it successful, even if we disagree.

We focus on great inputs

One of the only things we always control is the quality of our work. We have a very high bar for what good looks like at Imprint. We believe that if we measure ourselves against excellent, ruthlessly-prioritized inputs, the outcome will take care of itself.

We make this journey energizing and fulfilling for each other

Doing hard things does not have to be overly arduous. We generate momentum toward our ambitious goals and timelines by celebrating great work and treating our team with the respect that pros deserve.

We increase velocity through rigor, transparency, and documentation

We are constantly breaking new ground, and we know that to move fast we must move well. So we are rigorous in structuring our thoughts, in writing them down, in sharing all the context, and in creating and refining the process.

We obsess over talent and reward impact

The quality of the people we attract and empower defines our ability to succeed and is our biggest competitive advantage. We push back when others consider hires that would not live by these Operating Principles or make Imprint better in a definable way. We don’t sacrifice quality to quickly fill roles, and we rapidly address mis-hires. Above all else, we reward those that deliver against our goals and embody these Operating Principles.

We are pros, who take care of their role

It's not always clear who should own or be accountable for all of the work required to deliver on our commitments. Our team is made up of pros who actively take ownership and meet their obligations. We never say “it is not my job,” or assume someone else will take care of it.
