About Bluevine

Bluevine is the banking platform for small businesses that need to keep moving, redefining how entrepreneurs manage their money. 

We bring banking, payments, billing, and access to capital into one connected place, so business owners can move money, pay vendors, get paid, and fund what’s next without switching tools or losing time. Everything we build starts with a deep understanding of how small businesses actually run, and we keep their money secure along the way.

Since 2013, more than 1 million small business owners across all 50 states have trusted us with their money, from contractors to dental offices to e-commerce brands. Today, over 500 employees come to work focused on making banking one less thing that slows them down. 

All of this comes back to our team. We’re curious problem-solvers who learn fast, would rather solve problems together, and care deeply about the people we’re building for.

• Strong communication skills, high ownership, service orientation, and an entrepreneurial mindset.
• Familiarity with prompt engineering, retrieval workflows, and evaluation of LLM-based systems.
• Experience with APIs, browser automation, workflow tooling, and systems integration.
