EarnIn is looking to solve the problem of providing real-time financial flexibility for individuals living paycheck to paycheck by building scalable systems that power experimentation, personalization, and member engagement across their product ecosystem.
Requirements
- 7+ years of software engineering experience, with a track record of technical leadership and delivering high-impact systems at scale.
- Deep backend expertise, with proficiency in at least one modern language (e.g., Kotlin, Java, Go, C-Sharp).
- Experience architecting distributed systems and APIs using REST/gRPC, event-driven workflows, and asynchronous processing.
- Strong understanding of experimentation and data systems, from instrumentation to metrics pipelines.
- Fluency in system design trade-offs (consistency, scalability, reliability, and developer velocity).
- Familiarity with relational and document databases, and comfort working with both operational and analytical data flows.
- Experience with or interest in leveraging AI/LLMs to accelerate development and decision-making.
Responsibilities
- Own the technical vision for Growth systems spanning onboarding, activation, retention, and re-engagement.
- Design and build scalable, reliable backend services and data pipelines that enable fast iteration, experimentation, and personalized user experiences.
- Collaborate with data, product, and marketing partners to integrate growth levers into the product - connecting systems, insights, and member journeys.
- Drive experimentation infrastructure and tooling, ensuring engineers can launch, measure, and iterate on experiments with minimal friction.
- Mentor and develop engineers through regular feedback, design reviews, and career growth conversations.
- Partner with platform and mobile teams to deliver cohesive, cross-platform growth experiences that scale.
- Champion engineering quality, observability, and performance, ensuring the Growth stack evolves with stability and velocity.
Other
- Ability to mentor and influence engineers across teams, setting technical standards and driving best practices.
- Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with experience working across product, analytics, and marketing functions.
- Curiosity and adaptability to learn new domains — from web to mobile to AI-driven personalization.
- Strong preference for a leader who can guide a small team (2 - 3 engineers) while remaining highly hands-on in design and development.
- In-office work 2 days a week in Mountain View (Headquarters)
