- Passion for and demonstrated experience in understanding complex systems (APIs, database, etc.), and finding solutions to technical problems
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills and the desire to work in a client-facing role
- Demonstrable track record of being scrappy, and finding creative solutions to tough, ambiguous problems

- Serve as the technical point of contact for prospects throughout the sales cycles and conduct detailed product demonstrations
- Partner with Account Executives to win strategic deals and drive revenue
- Act as a technical consultant to potential clients, addressing their technical queries and concerns, and design specific solutions that meet the needs of customers
- Maintain a deep technical understanding of the Pinwheel platform
- Help translate prospect feedback into meaningful product insights. Operate cross-functionally to drive customer requests and competitive product ideas, ensuring Pinwheel is a best-in-class platform

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.
