Company mission

Earnin’s mission is to build a financial system that works for people.

Role

Who you are

  • EarnIn is looking for experienced, collaborative, and resourceful staff-level engineers to join our backend teams
  • 7+ years of delivering value through software in a collaborative environment
  • Proficiency in at least one identity management system, such as Keycloak, Okta, Auth0, or similar
  • Strong understanding of authentication protocols and standards (e.g., OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, SAML)
  • Familiarity with role-based access control (RBAC), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and other identity and access management (IAM) concepts
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic, result-driven environment
  • Being self-motivated and able to work independently with minimal supervision

What the job involves

  • As a Staff Engineer, you will work cross-functionally with various teams and contribute to the design and development of our backend services
  • System Design and Architecture: Design, architect, and implement identity management solutions that meet the organization's security and scalability requirements
  • Identity Integration: Integrate identity services seamlessly into our applications, ensuring a cohesive user experience across multiple platforms
  • Collaborate and mentor other senior engineers while providing thoughtful guidance using code, design, and architecture reviews
  • Stay abreast of emerging technologies and industry trends in identity management, and proactively identify opportunities for process improvements and optimization
  • Estimate and manage team project timelines and risks
  • Participate in hiring and onboarding for new team members
  • Lead cross-team engineering initiatives

Our take

Paying bills is an inevitable part of life, but paying them late or dipping into overdrafts can result in fees. This is the reality for millions of workers who have to wait for their pay checks to arrive – and the problem that companies like EarnIn are trying to solve. By allowing hourly workers access to their pay as it is earned rather than on a fixed date, it hopes to provide all Americans with the ability to deal with immediate costs without going into arrears.

Unlike competitors in this growing space such as Dave, Earnin charges no mandatory fees, instead gaining revenue through a voluntary tipping system. It also requires no credit checks to access its services, which puts it ahead of the growing number of digital banking solutions. This approach has garnered it a strong user base of over 300,000 business customers which offer Earnin as an employee benefit. Around 70 million paycheck advances were taken through the platform in 2022 alone, totalling $5 billion. Since then, this number has grown to an overall earnings access value of $15 billion.

Earnin is growing despite current difficulties in the wider tech landscape and is continuing to hire in all departments. It will continue to improve upon its offering and expand its network of businesses, aiming to give every employee in America control of the money they've earned.
