San Francisco, United States Tbwa ChiatDay Inc Full time

Pomelo’s mission is to increase financial access and empowerment for immigrants and their loved ones back home.

We are proud to be the first financial technology platform to combine consumer credit and global remittances. Our product solves the worst aspects of money transfer by empowering our customers to use credit rather than cash. At the same time, we help immigrants establish their financial future in their new country by building positive credit history with their existing remittance obligations and financially include their loved ones in emerging economies with access to modern financial instruments.

We’re a team of ~45 and are growing our San Francisco headquarters. Our investors include Keith Rabois of Khosla Ventures (formerly of Founders Fund, CEO at Opendoor, former COO of Square), Kevin Hartz (Co-founder/CEO of Xoom and Eventbrite) of A* Capital, The Chainsmokers, The Weeknd, and more.

The Team

As a senior or staff engineer, you’ll be a technical expert working on and solving various backend challenges. This role requires both architecture and coding expertise, and will act as a technical mentor for other team members.

Our Backend Team has a range of projects they work on, and is responsible for solving core platform problems. This involves areas including money, transactions, fraud, and risk. We’re looking for someone with a deep understanding of backend engineering with a passion for both quality (craft, reliability, etc.) and velocity (business impact, rapid iteration, scrappiness/pragmatism, etc.). The ideal candidate will also be able to operate both at a high level (strategy) and get into the details (hands-on coding, coding reviews, etc.).

Your Role
  • Design and implement technical solutions for various backend engineering projects
  • Collaborate on our technical vision and help drive the implementation of complex projects
  • Collaborate on ways to continuously improve our engineering processes, tools, and systems to allow us to scale the code base, drive productivity, and develop the team
  • Drive effective collaboration between backend engineering and other engineering teams, product, and cross-functional colleagues
  • Connect overall needs of the business with short and long-term technical requirements
Required Qualifications
  • Typically 5+ years of backend engineering experience working with a complex code base
  • Strong programming skills in Java or Rust. Our current tech stack includes:
  • Middle: GraphQL, Rust
  • Frontend: React, React Native, TypeScript, Expo, Storybook
  • Startup experience with a demonstrated ability and desire to work in a fast-paced environment, continuously grow, and master your craft
  • A track record of shipping high-quality products and leading projects at scale
  • An ability to turn business and product ideas into engineering solutions
Company Values
  • Earn the Trust of Our Customers
  • Be Relentless
  • Integrity in Every Language
  • Show Our Work
  • Leadership at Every Level
Benefits and Perks (FTE)
  • A meaningful mission and an opportunity for direct societal impact. We’re putting real money back in the hands of the people who need it most and helping immigrants and their families realize the American dream.
  • An amazing team and culture. You’ll have peers from both top tech companies (e.g. Cash App, Google, Twitter, Uber) and other successful startups (e.g. Affirm, AfterPay, MemSQL). We empower each other to do great work and continue growing.
  • Opportunity for major impact, learning, and growth.
  • Platinum-level health insurance (medical, dental, vision) — with 100% covered by the company for you and 50% for dependents. Assistance with life insurance.
  • Parental leave for the primary or the secondary
  • PTO: 3 weeks in your first year, 4 weeks thereafter, plus national holidays
  • $300 annual wellness stipend
  • Pre-tax funds towards commuting costs
  • Twice-a-year company retreats. Previous trips include skiing in Park City, getting sun and surf in Cabo, Mexico, and a cruise excursion to The Bahamas.
  • In Office Meals: Lunch, dinner, and snacks provided daily
