Chiffer is the first subscription intelligence platform that empowers finance teams to get real-time snapshots of how their subscription business is performing


Why join us?

  • We're not only remote first, we're also async-first. We don't have any meetings so you can have quiet uninterrupted time, and you can work whenever you want.

  • We're well funded by the top seed investor in the world (not announced yet).

  • There's no other companies focused on our problem, but it's a big enough problem that enterprises hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to solve it otherwise.


Engineering at Chiffer

Engineering team and processes

We want to give everyone on the team the freedom and control to determine their own best working schedule and work style, so for that reason, we do not have synchronous meetings or set working hours.

However in order to do this, we have to be extremely strategic about how we collaborate. That is why, we really pride ourselves in our ability to communicate effectively and clearly over video or shared documents. This first take-home assignment will be very similar to how you will be working on projects with the actual team. You will be given context and details about what is needed, and we trust each individual to make the best decision for the team. We want to trust you to be able to make decisions and explain the trade-offs that you considered.

Technical Challenges

We're building financial software that finance and business operations leaders can use to make the most important decisions for their business. So, we have to be extremely smart about how we calculate things, we have to be super accurate, and we have to make sure we are always building trust with our users!

Projects you might work on
  • You would participate in a review with one of our lighthouse customers where they would describe how they'd want to run a meeting based on the metrics they get from Chiffer, and you would work with our designer to craft a solution that would help them and future customers.

  • You would work on building our integration with stripe connect to get customers' billing data, and help them connect it to their CRM data to get a full picture of where their billing is working and where it's not.

  • You would work on improving our database and queries to make the responsiveness and speediness of our app snappier.

Working at Chiffer

We're super high on trust and autonomy - you won't be told what to work on, when to work on it, or how to work on it. You'll have full control.

People who thrive at Chiffer tend to be super self motivated, self managing, and know how to manage their own schedule. They're really good written communicators, and are prone to action and get a lot done.

Diversity and Inclusion

We're really interested in building a workplace where anyone can do their best work, no matter where they come from or where they live (anywhere in the world). We want your working style or schedule to not be a barrier to getting great work done, and amongst the many reasons we prefer written communication is because it gives everyone an equal voice.

We do our best to set you up for success on day 1, giving you the tools and expectations you'll need to succeed. Our culture of openness and trust gives everyone an equal chance to know the information they need to know to be able to do their best work.

We're a super small company (just 3 engineers + founder on engineering team), so it's very tight knit team with lots of different cultural backgrounds (we all come from different countries even, and the four of us live in 3 different countries). We're making a team where everyone can fit in.

Connect with our team during your hiring process

As part of our commitment to an inclusive workplace, we are happy to offer prospective engineers the chance to connect with our engineering employees who come from underrepresented backgrounds. It’s a way to get a better sense of our team and what it might be like to work with us.

If you’re interested in connecting with our team, be sure to bring this up during one of our introductory calls!
