What the job involves
- Brigit is looking for a Software Engineer with mobile or platform experience to help us scale our next-gen consumer finance platform
- Our product has tremendous traction helping 1 million+ low income Americans make ends meet
- We’ve built beautifully designed, user-centric mobile and web clients with React (including React Native) and TypeScript, and are looking to expand our tooling to accelerate mobile development
- As we approach our next phase of growth, we're scoping out new products and features helping our users save more and improve their credit options - in short, better equipping them along their financial journey
- You'll have the opportunity to influence the frontend architecture for the greater engineering org to build these new products from the ground up for millions of users
- Financial products often come with difficult user challenges, and if you're excited by the idea of reconstructing difficult concepts into easy-to-use interfaces for engineers to consume, then this is the right role for you

Our take
Brigit is an algorithm-based personal finance app that helps underserved financial customers maintain financial health. It offers a raft of protective services including cash bumps to fend off overdraft charges, budgeting tools, and interest-free emergency loans.
In spite of this financially-oriented spread, Brigit has no intention of expanding into neo-banking. This is smart, as it allows the company to focus on a broad range of banner services without stepping into the far more competitive digital banking sector. Brigit has successfully united these disparate features under a strong customer-forward and socially-impactful identity, which gives the company the freedom to expand its services in response to new banking trends without diluting its brand.
It means, too, that Brigit can complement new and legacy banking solutions, instead of competing for space. This careful positioning should shore Brigit up in a sector undergoing continual and swift change.
