To help financial institutions win and keep customers by delivering flawless customer experiences.
Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of experience building and maintaining full-stack applications, specifically with data modeling, application logic, and API design
- Prior experience working at an early-stage startup or small tech company
- Expertise with modern back-end languages/frameworks (e.g. FastAPI, Django, Rails, Gin)
- Expertise with modern frontend web frameworks (React, Vue, etc.)
- Played key implementation roles in projects with multiple teams and engineers
- Excited by working closely with customers
- Responsibly uses AI on top of fundamental skills, doesn’t replace them
- Maintains a high bar for technical quality and continues to level up
What the job involves
- We’re hiring a senior full-stack Product Engineer for our Product Engineering team
- The PE team builds all the things our customers and their users use: public APIs, embedded SDKs, customer management dashboard, and more
- Our Product Engineering team is lean and works very closely with Product to ensure we’re evolving Pinwheel’s product in ways that bring maximum value to our customers
- We are a high-velocity team where we balance four main workstreams: support of customers, deliver the roadmap, proactively improve the product and keep-the-lights-on
- Here are some projects you might work on in your first six months:
- Help us build our Bill Switch product that helps our customers drive account primacy through migrating their users’ subscription spend to their new accounts
- Contribute to a new API version that improves our contracts and formalizes recent product direction in our platform’s code
- Help us firm up and improve our tax product for next tax season
- Clean up old code that no longer serves our current product direction and leave the codebase better than you found it
- Build a new customer dashboard API that aligns with our stack and opens up future expansion possibilities in customer dashboard functionality
- Build new integrations with banking platform partners and help us improve existing implementations to make them more effective
- In general, your responsibilities in this role would include:
- Deeply understand our customer needs and design systems to solve them
- Build, scale, and evolve the data models, services, and systems that power our APIs
- Design and ship impactful new functionality in our products, especially focused on our internal and customer-facing back-end APIs
- Maintain and improve our Python-based microservice stack
- Create and improve tooling, processes, and engineering standards across the team
- Mentor engineers and help the team grow
Our take
Pinwheel builds an API that helps Neobanks access and modify their customers' payroll services. It's primarily focused on enabling easy direct-deposit switches in order to promote a fairer financial system for all.
Pinwheel is laser-focused on perfecting UX and product integration in this area, which has won the company coverage of over 70% of paid Americans, and nearly half of all Neobank direct-deposit switches. This secure market position will help it comfortably expand its client services into other API offerings like income verification.
As the US begins to competitively adopt the Open Banking methods already popular in the EU, Pinwheel has made some strategic partnerships, including Lumin Digital, Visa and Bankjoy. These collaborations are driving increased account activation and deposit growth for financial institutions, positioning Pinwheel as a key player in Open Banking methods.
