About us

Today's financial system is built to favor those with money. Grid's mission is to level that playing field by building financial products that help users better manage their financial future. The Grid app lets users access cash, build credit, spend money, optimize their taxes, and lots, lots more.

Grid is a fast-growing team that's deeply passionate about making a difference in the lives of millions. We're solving huge problems and believe that every team member has a big role to play. Come join our growing team in our San Francisco office

The role

We're adding a Senior Software Engineer to our team to help us build and scale our PayBoost product. You'll work closely with product, engineering and business leaders to help people optimize their taxes with 0 effort. With access to a robust pipeline of excited paying users with high intent to use Grid, you'll have a significant impact on our users' happiness and financial wellbeing.

As a product engineer, you'll build out PayBoost 2.0 end to end. This includes a number of deeply technical challenges related to payroll data acquisition, income forecasting, tax calculation. This is the perfect role for someone eager to harness the potential of legacy systems, such as Payroll processor HR information systems, ACH networks and tax refunds.

The team

We're focused on serving our users above all else all while building a robust business. To this end, Grid's team members experience high levels autonomy and ownership, and as a company we value curiosity, learning and growth.

At Grid, you'll be surrounded by a team that is motivated, mission-driven and pragmatic.

The tech stack

Our backend tech stack is based on GCP, Go, protobufs, BigQuery and MySQL. We have built our platform from the ground up to optimize for clean data sources, and we have made numerous investments into data warehousing, streaming analytics infrastructure and offline data cleanliness. As a result, we think Grid is positioned for efficient and powerful data science.

What you will be doing

  • Backend Product Development: You'll be building domain models, business logic and API integrations that make our tax optimization product just work.
  • Payroll Data Acquisition: You'll implement and manage our payroll data acquisition system. You'll integrate with payroll processors in order to acquire and normalize payroll data (screen scraping, API integrations, etc).
  • Data Normalization: Simplify payroll data across multiple sources, in order to integrate into our proprietary tax return forecasting model.
  • Deployment & Iteration: We practice a dynamic, data-driven approach to product development. You'll build out UX tests in order to maximize our impact on user's take home pay, while keeping our users informed and comfortable during a potentially intimidating process.
  • Shipping to Production: You'll have access to a rapid CI/CD process that enables you to ship to production on the daily.

About you

  • Backend Software Engineer: 4+ years experience writing backend software, ideally in both Go (golang) and JavaScript/TypeScript ).
  • Experience with Web Technologies: End to end understanding of web browser technologies.
  • Autonomy and Initiative: Ability to work independently and take ownership of projects, showcasing a proactive approach to identifying key leverage points for data products.
  • Curiosity and Optimism: People who are constantly asking why the world around them works the way it does, and who have the will to change it.
  • Self Starter: Confidence to prioritize work and delivery demonstrable results on a tight cadence.
  • Domain Knowledge: Demonstrated experience or understanding of web scrapers, data acquisition and normalization. Familiarity with the tax code or financial modeling is nice to have but not required.
