Job Description

Our Journey

ShopBack began in 2014 as a late-night spark of inspiration between Henry and Joel -- not just to build a Cashback platform, but to reimagine how brands and consumers connect. As former advertisers, they understood the limitations of traditional marketing, and saw an opportunity to deliver more value on both sides. That idea quickly turned into action, with the first prototype built during a 24-hour sprint. Today, ShopBack serves over 50 million users across 13 markets, partners with 20,000+ merchants, and powers over half a million transactions daily. We're building The World's Most Rewarding Way to Shop -- and looking for bold, driven individuals to join us.
