- You’ll lead the evolution of EarnIn’s Money Platform into a robust, easy-to-use foundation that empowers product teams to innovate quickly and build great customer experiences
- This is a highly cross-functional role, working closely with engineering, design, risk, treasury, accounting, compliance, and business teams to build the core money infrastructure that fuels our mission of providing financial flexibility

Our take
Paying bills is an inevitable part of life, but paying them late or dipping into overdrafts can result in fees. This is the reality for millions of workers who have to wait for their paychecks to arrive – and the problem that companies like EarnIn are trying to solve. By allowing hourly workers access to their pay as it is earned rather than on a fixed date, it hopes to provide all Americans with the ability to deal with immediate costs without going into arrears.
Unlike competitors in this growing space, Earnin charges no mandatory fees, instead gaining revenue through a voluntary tipping system. It also requires no credit checks to access its services, which puts it ahead of the growing number of digital banking solutions. This approach has garnered it a strong user base of business customers who offer Earnin as an employee benefit.
Earnin has managed to continue its steady growth even while the wider tech landscape suffered setbacks, which suggests a wise leadership. It also continues to improve its offering and expand its network of businesses, aiming to give every employee in America control of the money they've earned.
