Staff Integrations Lead

About Us:

Forage is building the modern payments stack that powers inclusive commerce. Our technology enables grocers, delivery platforms, and point-of-sale systems to seamlessly accept EBT payments both online and in-store. Beyond infrastructure, we’re helping SNAP EBT shoppers stretch their grocery budgets every week, making healthy food more affordable and accessible to the 42 million Americans on food assistance.​

Backed by leading fintech investors, Forage is a fast-growing startup with a clear vision and real-world impact, feeding tens of thousands of families daily. Our team is made up of kind, driven individuals who take ownership, move quickly, and collaborate closely. We value humility, curiosity, and a shared commitment to making a difference.​

We’re not just building payments infrastructure — we’re helping feed tens of thousands of families each day, and transforming grocery access for millions more. Watch our story and see why we do what we do.

We function as a hybrid organization, actively hiring across North America. While we embrace remote work, we prioritize candidates who can frequently contribute from our San Francisco office.

You could work anywhere — so why Forage?

• Build tech that matters. Play a direct role in putting food on the tables of millions of families, and help make grocery access more equitable through better payments infrastructure.
• Join a rocket ship with purpose. We’ve grown revenue 100x in two years, with the capital, traction, and runway to keep going — all while staying mission-first.
• Work with exceptional people. Collaborate daily with ‘Foragers’ from companies like Stripe, Instacart, Google, Affirm, Uber, and beyond — a tight-knit team with deep experience and low ego.
• Disrupt a massive market. Help modernize a $100B+ system and shape the future of inclusive commerce as we scale toward a $1B+ business.
• Accelerate your career. Thrive in a talent-dense environment backed by top investors in fintech (like Nyca, PayPal Ventures, and more), where ownership and growth are the norm.

What we are looking for:

As an Integrations Engineer, you’ll be the go-to technical expert for onboarding new partners and integrating our platform into their systems. You’ll bridge the gap between our product, engineering, and partner teams—designing, implementing, and optimizing integrations that deliver exceptional B2B experiences while ensuring a smooth consumer-facing flow.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in startup environments, can balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution, and enjoys working directly with both internal teams and external partners.

Qualifications:

• 5+ years in a technical role, ideally in payments, fintech, or API-based B2B SaaS.
• Comfortable reading, writing, and debugging code in common languages (e.g., JavaScript, Python).
• Deep understanding of webhooks, authentication (OAuth, API keys), and RESTful APIs.
• Experience working with external developers, product teams, or technical stakeholders.
• Startup mindset: you’re scrappy, resourceful, and love building processes where none exist.
• Clear communicator, able to translate technical details to non-technical audiences.
• Bonus: You've worked in a “founding” capacity before and understand what it means to build from zero.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead partner integrations end-to-end, from discovery to deployment, ensuring seamless connectivity between our APIs and partner systems.

• Collaborate with product managers, engineers, and customer success to scope and prioritize integration requirements.

• Develop, configure, and test custom integration solutions using REST APIs, webhooks, SDKs, and partner-specific protocols.

• Troubleshoot and resolve integration issues, working directly with partner technical teams when needed.

• Create technical documentation, API guides, and implementation playbooks for both internal and external stakeholders.

• Build and maintain internal tools and scripts to improve integration workflows and monitoring.

• Provide technical insights to influence product roadmap decisions, especially for integration-related features and capabilities.

Our Offer:

Your base salary would fall within the bands below. Please keep in mind that the equity portion of your offer is not included in these numbers and represents a significant part of your total compensation.

• Compensation: $170k-$180k USD base + equity + benefits
• Meaningful work that makes a positive impact on our society.
• 100% of Medical, Dental and Vision premium coverage for yourself and dependents. 
• Enjoy regular team lunches at our San Francisco and New York offices, fostering collaboration and connection over great food.
• A fun and caring environment that prioritizes transparency, growth, and ownership.
• A talented, diverse, high-achieving, and humble team with diverse backgrounds and viewpoints.
