Pomelo, Inc.
Senior Software Engineer, Frontend
Pomelo, Inc., San Francisco, California, United States, 94199
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
Our Frontend Team has a range of projects they work on and is responsible for building core UI/UX features and solving platform issues. This involves areas including user onboarding, native application development, frontend infrastructure, and design system integration. We’re looking for someone with a deep understanding of frontend 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 frontend engineering projects
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 processes between backend engineering, product, and other cross-functional teams
Connect overall needs of the business with short and long-term technical vision
Required Qualifications
5+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 3+ years in a frontend/full stack capacity
Advanced TypeScript expertise and experience building applications in React Native. Our current technology stack includes:
Frontend: React, React Native, TypeScript, Expo, Storybook
Middle: GraphQL, Rust
Backend: Java, Spring Boot, Hibernate, AWS, PostgreSQL
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 owning and shipping high-quality products
An ability to turn business and product ideas into engineering solutions
Nice-To-Have Qualifications
Experience as a technical lead
Experience mentoring junior engineers
Experience with GraphQL
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
