Company mission

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

Role

Who you are

  • We are looking for an experienced, passionate, and resourceful software engineer to join our Core Services org
  • This person will need to be strong in JVM programming languages and event-driven architecture on top of AWS
  • 3+ years of development experience in Software Engineering
  • Bachelor's, Master’s, or PhD degree in computer science, computer engineering, or a related technical discipline or equivalent industry experience
  • Proficient in at least one JVM programming language such as Java, Kotlin, Scala
  • Hands-on experience working with SQL databases like Postgres or MySQL
  • Hands-on experience with data technologies such as Kafka, AWS SNS/SQS, AWS Kinesis
  • Experience with continuous integration and delivery tools
  • Experienced in developing and executing functional and integration tests
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and have a bias towards action and results
  • Experience with Kubernetes and microservice architecture is a strong plus

What the job involves

  • In our team, you’ll work cross-functionally with various teams and contribute to the design and development of key platform services
  • Drive the design & implementation of new features - break down complex problems into their bare essentials, translate this complexity into elegant design, and create high-quality, clean code
  • Make a meaningful impact in the lives of our community members
  • Collaborate and mentor other engineers while providing thoughtful guidance using code, design, and architecture reviews
  • Contribute to defining technical direction, planning the roadmap, escalating issues, and synthesizing feedback to ensure team success
  • Care passionately about producing high-quality, efficient designs and code
  • Constantly learning about new technologies and industry standards

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.
