WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Be a strong partner to product and other engineering teams to drive improvements to business metrics and build new features. Examples include improving user acquisition metrics, cross-selling and upselling products, and improving user experience.
  • Drive the design and implementation of new product areas and features. Break down complex problems into their bare essentials, translate this complexity into elegant design, and create high-quality, maintainable code.
  • Guide your team through ambiguity and ensure technical excellence through rapid experimentation cycles.
  • Guide your team to strong execution —make pragmatic decisions, and guide teams to launch MVPs quickly and iterate based on feedback.
  • Lead team through frequent pivots and evolving priorities in a fast-changing environment.
  • Recruit other great engineers for your team and help in the recruiting efforts for different teams.
  • Be a mentor and coach for the engineers on your team. Help them advance their careers by enabling them to do the best work of their lives.
  • Manage cross-functional relationships with all teams to deliver high-quality products

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • Bachelor's, Master’s or PhD degree in computer science, computer engineering or a related technical discipline or equivalent industry experience
  • 7+ years of experience in software engineering, with some experience leading a small team in an IC leadership or EM capacity.
  • You're just as energized diving into architecture, writing clean, scalable code, and solving challenging technical problems as you are mentoring engineers, shaping team culture, and driving delivery. You know when to roll up your sleeves and when to empower others—and you're equally excited to do both.
  • You can work comfortably with a cross-functional team of PMs, Analysts, and mobile and back-end-focused engineers.
  • You have led a team that regularly created high-quality output on top of critical infrastructure.
  • You are a creative, tenacious problem solver with a get-it-done attitude
  • You tend to be the standard bearer who takes a great deal of pride in your work and can inspire others to rise to the occasion
  • You can create and maintain a positive, healthy team environment in which everyone is supported, encouraged, and meaningfully challenged to do great work

View company profile

EarnIn, formerly known as Activehours, is a financial technology company founded in 2013 by Ram Palaniappan. The company's mission is to build a more equitable financial system by providing individuals with access to their earned wages before their scheduled payday. This concept, often referred to as Earned Wage Access (EWA), aims to help people manage their finances, avoid overdraft fees, and reduce reliance on high-cost predatory lending products. EarnIn's core product, 'Cash Out', allows users to withdraw a portion of their earned income as they earn it. The service is community-supported, with users having the option to leave a voluntary 'tip' for the service, rather than facing mandatory fees or interest charges.

Headquartered in Palo Alto, California, EarnIn has grown significantly since its inception, facilitating billions of dollars in earned wage access for its members. The company emphasizes its commitment to financial wellness by offering additional tools such as 'Balance Shield', which provides low-balance alerts, and 'Tip Yourself', a feature designed to encourage savings. EarnIn's services are available directly to consumers through its mobile application and also as an employee benefit offered through partnerships with employers across various industries. The company has highlighted its role in helping users save on overdraft fees and manage unexpected expenses. While the 'tipping' model has faced some scrutiny and comparisons to payday lending, EarnIn maintains that its approach is designed to offer a more flexible and affordable financial solution. The company has also expanded its offerings to include services like negotiating medical bills for its users. EarnIn has garnered numerous users and positive app reviews, positioning itself as a key player in the evolving landscape of financial technology and employee financial wellness.
