Role

Who you are

  • 5+ years of experience building and maintaining full stack applications, spanning data design, application logic, and user experiences
  • Significant experience with modern backend frameworks (e.g. FastAPI, Django, Rails, Gin) and frontend frameworks (e.g. React)
  • Played key implementation roles in projects with multiple teams and engineers
  • A desire to learn new systems and technology as our business evolves
  • Ability to design systems and evaluate the tradeoffs in scalability, reliability, performance, and maintainability
  • A passion for working closely with customers

What the job involves

  • Pinwheel is looking for a creative and efficient Senior Full Stack Engineer who will build and evolve products that delight Pinwheel's customers
  • As an early engineer at the company, you will touch all services used by Pinwheel's customers and help set direction for years to come
  • You will collaborate across Product, Design, and Engineering to build new features, from conception to design to implementation and beyond
  • You'll help identify and prioritize the most impactful problems to solve
  • And you will contribute to leveling up the engineering team through mentorship and improving tooling, processes, and engineering standards
  • Build, scale, and evolve the data models, services, and systems that power our APIs
  • Develop frontend experiences used by every Pinwheel customer, partner, and user
  • Design and ship full-stack products, touching all layers of our architecture
  • Collaborate across teams and functions to deliver entire features and products to our users
  • Deeply understand our customer needs and design systems to solve them
  • 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 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.
