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 brand new Seattle office!
The role
We’re looking for product oriented full stack engineers with mobile (iOS/Android) experience to our team to help us build and scale our user-facing products. You'll work closely with product, engineering and business leaders to help people optimize their taxes, bridge gaps between paychecks, build their credit score, earn cash, and more!
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.
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. Our mobile is built on Swift and Kotlin. 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
- Full Stack Development: You'll be building product features end to end - backend APIs, workflows, and mobile integrations.
- Mobile: You will be the bridge between the mobile team and the back-end team, understanding the need of both sides and writing scaleable and well application code.
- Deployment & Iteration: We practice a dynamic, data-driven approach to product development. As an product engineer at Grid, you'll build towards bold milestones in well-engineered, incremental releases.
- Data Analysis: As a data-driven product, we have robust data pipelines and analytics infrastructure. To be successful at Grid, you'll utilize SQL and other analysis tools to evaluate product and system performance regularly.
- Debugging Evented Systems: Grid's backend makes heavy use of pubsub. Testing and debugging complex state machines, in order to create a seamless experience for all users is key.
- Shipping to Production: You'll have access to a rapid CI/CD process that enables you to ship to production on the daily. As an engineer, you'll own your implementations end to end and respond to production incidents as needed.

- Autonomy and Initiative: Ability to work independently and take ownership of projects, showcasing a proactive approach to identifying key leverage points for data products.

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.
