What the job involves
- Forward Deployed Engineering is a small-in-headcount, high-impact team of entrepreneurial engineers who work directly with Narmi's financial institution customers to build features and configure the platform for their specific needs
- Our mission is to make sure Narmi's products are powering the goals and objectives of the FIs we serve. We do that by building targeted features and prototypes in the field, then partnering with Narmi's core product and engineering teams to scale those solutions from 1 to n
- You'll have real influence on how development work gets scoped, how FDE best practices evolve, and what feedback reaches core engineering about the configurability of the platform
- Being a self-starter with strong intuition for where impact lives and having a creative approach to problem-solving is what makes people successful here
- Solve novel technical challenges alongside our customers: work with FIs to understand their unique use cases and technical constraints, then design and implement creative solutions within our platform
- Build new platform functionality: you're an extension of Narmi's platform engineering team and will contribute alongside the dedicated pod to broader platform development work
- Identify product gaps through your customer interactions, and build features and prototypes that extend our existing APIs to better meet client needs
- Build the v0 when a problem needs solving quickly, then work with the rest of engineering to re-architect it over time to optimize for scale
- Automate recurrent FI workflows and create scalable systems and tools that address customer pain points at the root
- Take the lead on working with FIs to identify solutions to problems for the Platform team
- Partner with Customer Success, Implementations, Product, and Engineering to build internal tools and automations that streamline their workflows
Our take
The digitisation of the banking world, led by the likes of Monzo, Wise and N26 and adopted by legacy banks, threatens to leave smaller institutions behind. With over half of Americans doing most of their banking online, and just under half of the banking market share held by banks outside the top 15, Narmi is allowing its clients to close this gap.
Narmi provides cloud-based technology to credit unions, regional and community banks, allowing them to provide secure digital onboarding and e-banking to consumers and small businesses. Today, financial institutions with billions of dollars in deposits use Narmi to increase profitability, deposits, and accounts.
The company has decided to target the grassroots, with whom local banks are more popular, particularly older customers who have only recently turned to digital banking. This approach has won it the confidence of Greycroft, NEA and Picus Capital, who co-led its 2022 Series B funding round. Narmi is using these funds to continue its impressive growth through several high-profile partnerships with the likes of Treasury Prime and First Bank.
