Who We Are
Decisionly is building AI-powered dispute decisioning for card issuers, eliminating cost and enabling compliant, scalable card operations. Decisionly automates complex manual workflows end-to-end, modernizing payment infrastructure and generating unique first-party fraud insights for fintechs, processors and banks.
Our founding team has a strong track record and unique founder-market fit. We founded Chargehound (backed by Y Combinator, Khosla), the first automated dispute solution for merchants like Airbnb, Uber and Doordash. PayPal acquired Chargehound in 2021 for $XXXM.
Decisionly is growing rapidly, has strong market validation, and is backed by Fika Ventures, Vesey Ventures, Dash Fund, and angels from top fintechs including Stripe and Plaid. We are a remote company.
As an early hire, you'll play a critical role in shaping our product development.

As an engineer at Decisionly, you'll work directly with the CTO to shape the product and refine our technical vision.

What You'll Do
Research and develop new features across our product and infrastructure
Build and maintain secure, scalable APIs for our service
Incorporate compliance and security considerations into our tech stack
Design and deploy infrastructure using Terraform and modern DevOps practices
Integrate with third-party APIs to expand product footprint

Experience with Node and/or TypeScript
Experience with PostgreSQL or equivalent database
Able to tackle legacy systems or dense technical documentation with persistence and a sense of humor

A fast learner who thrives in a dynamic, unstructured environment
Experience in high-growth startups, fintech, enterprise SaaS, or regulated industries is a plus

Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for Decisionly. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
