About Rec
At Rec (recreation.ai), we're using AI to reimagine how the world plays, participates in community, and gets active. Our vision is simple: more recreation for everyone. We combine the passion of everyday players with the expertise of enterprise platforms, creating a powerful synergy.
The team at Rec includes builders from Google, Microsoft, Strava, Hipcamp, and Airbnb, along with founders who have deep experience in leading teams at Uber, The Athletic, and MasterClass. People join Rec because they want to build AI that brings people back into the real world and work with smart, talented individuals.
About The Role
This is not a seat-filling role. As a key member of the team, you will be responsible for:
- Own our Stripe integration and the systems that handle every financial transaction on the platform, from one-time bookings to recurring memberships to payouts and payment plans.
- Build and evolve the accounting and reporting tools our partners use to run their businesses, including financial reports, reconciliation, and exports to downstream accounting systems.
- Model the financial data layer carefully, ensuring reliability and observability in handling payment failures, refunds, chargebacks, disputes, and edge cases.
- Partner with Product, Design, and Partner Success to understand and meet the real workflows of our partners.
- Ensure compliance with relevant regulations such as PCI, SOC 2, and tax reporting.
- Contribute to the broader platform when the work touches payments or finance.
Who You Are
- 5+ years of experience building software in collaborative environments.
- AI fluency is non-negotiable.
- Ship with quality, ensuring every customer transaction matters.
- Have strong product judgment and thrive in ambiguous situations.
- Work like a partner, not just a coder, communicating clearly, candidly, and constructively.
Pay & Benefits
- Compensation: $140,000–$200,000 base + meaningful equity.
- Benefits: Flexible PTO, top-tier health/dental/vision, 401(k).
