Company mission

Method's mission is to make personal debt management self-driven and autonomous.

Role

Who you are

  • 5+ years of full-time software engineering experience, ideally full-stack
  • Experience building scalable production-level applications. (A history of excellent projects is required)
  • Experience working with some combination of Node / JS, React (or similar framework) and MongoDB / NoSQL
  • You can clearly communicate the concepts or ideas behind your solutions, and cut big solutions into smaller bite-sized tasks
  • You can tow the line between moving fast and breaking things and moving slowly to get things right the first time. Technical debt is okay, we’ll refactor it later!
  • Natural curiosity to stay up to date with new technologies and emerging Fintech trends

Desirable

  • Experience in Finance / FinTech
  • Experience building data pipelines
  • Knowledge of payment rails such as ACH, RTP, etc
  • DevOps experience with AWS, Cloudflare, and CI/CD tools

What the job involves

  • As a member of the engineering team, you will own projects from end-to-end, making decisions on technical and business implications
  • You will have autonomy over your projects with support from the team when you need it
  • Build and create with JavaScript across the platform
  • Build delightful user experiences in React and power them with a reliable backend in Node
  • Investigate and debug any issues using our monitoring & logging tools as well as create clear action items to resolve them
  • Help maintain our high technical bar by participating in code reviews and interviewing new team members
  • Collaborate with the rest of the team to define the roadmap by thoroughly understanding customers’ needs

Our take

Managing debt payments can be a challenge for fintech developers, who usually have to build these features into their products from scratch. Method aims to make this process much easier, providing an API which allows developers to embed debt and bill payment automation into their own apps.

Method isn't alone in this market, and faces intense competition from the likes of Plaid along with a host of smaller startups. However, the company is rolling out new features to stay ahead of the competition such as instant balance transfers and real-time credit card transactions. So far it has grown a customer base of 35 companies and over 75,000 users.

The company has raised a significant amount of capital, most recently in a 2023 funding round. This will be used to accelerate product development and onboard new talent. As the fintech sector continues to surge, Method's product will be a valuable tool in allowing new startups to compete with traditional institutions.
