## The tech stack
Grid's is built with native mobile apps, a Golang backend and a modern data pipeline built on BigQuery and Chalk.ai. Our mobile stack is currently based on SwiftUI+UIKit, Kotlin+Jetpack, protobufs and type-safe Firestore.
Our platform has been built from the ground up to optimize for clean analytics and data-driven experiences. We have made numerous investments into data warehousing, streaming analytics infrastructure and observability.
We leverage AI aggressively throughout the stack — from development toolchains to data analytics to production feature development. We have immediate plans to 10x our agentic development workflows, enabling AI-native software development, planning to rollout.
What you'll do:
- Design, implement, and maintain Grid's mobile apps
- Assist and build platform
- Pragmatically solve problems
- Contribute to product design and direction
- Effectively communicate and work with other teams
What we're looking for:
- Startup Person: You seek high growth opportunities and are constantly learning about the world around you. You feel at home with dynamic decision making and an iterative approach.
- Experience with FinTech or other complex domains: End-to-end understanding of product engineering in an complex environment, such as financial services, health, insurance, etc.
- Experience prioritizing customers and user experience: We're looking for people who make complicated things simple. Financial services tend to be unnecessarily complex by default. We aspire towards lightweight UX that's quick and fun for our users.
- Experience with Data-oriented backends: Proven experience in evented systems, data acquisition (screen scraping, crawling), data normalization and API integration is a plus.
- 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 work 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.
- Passionate: We have periods throughout the year when we push aggressively. It's not always, but as a team we rely on each other. This often means that we work longer hours for days to weeks. This role is not for an "average job-seeker". We believe in our mission and dedicated to solving the problems ahead.
Skills Required
- Minimum of 5 years of app development experience
- Demonstrated experience or understanding of the financial industry and FinTech products
What We Do
We're building Grid to help hard-working Americans. We're starting by giving back the money you overpay in taxes today, not next year. Use that extra cash to save for a home upgrade, make the holidays a little brighter, or just give yourself a treat. Grid has already helped thousands of people get a little closer to their dreams. And we're just getting started.
