About Raise

Raise started with a simple idea—people don’t dream about saving money, they save money to realize their dreams. An infectious and powerful concept, Raise offers the opportunity for everyone to live a life of more.

Our marketplace gives consumers the chance to unlock the value in their gift cards. Members can sell their unwanted gift cards for cash and buy gift cards to save at their favorite stores right from their phones thanks to the Raise Wallet. Raise helps put the purchase power back into the hands of consumers, and that’s what giving yourself a raise is all about.

We are currently looking for our next generation of engineering managers to take our teams, company, and technology to the next level. The Raise Engineering Team is solving problems of scale for our online gift card marketplace and is experiencing extremely high growth with challenging problems.

With a great deal of autonomy and independence, our engineers have real ownership over the products and features they build. If you're a smart, hard working problem solver who enjoys working with team autonomy, but understands how to take complete ownership of a project while meeting deadlines, this is the perfect role for you.
