About the Role

Were looking for a Growth Engineer to roll up their sleeves and help scale the most creator-friendly bank in the world. This is a high-impact, highly scrappy role for someone who loves wearing multiple hats and doing whatever it takes to move the needle  from spinning up a new landing page in Webflow, to debugging a signup flow, to automating a report for our ops team unlocking a 10x on their output. Youll work across growth, product, and operations  partnering with designers, analysts, and founders  to ship experiments, automate systems, and unlock growth across our banking and card products. If youve ever been a founder, this might feel familiar: youll need to code, test, analyze, and improvise  sometimes all in the same day. This position is based in Los Angeles, CA. The compensation for this role is between $130 to $170k.

What youll do:

• Build and launch growth experiments across onboarding, conversion, and lifecycle  with a focus on speed and impact
• Own scrappy engineering work that fuels growth: shipping landing pages, email flows, Webflow builds, internal tools, and more
• Work closely with product and marketing to design A/B tests, track performance, and iterate fast
• Automate manual workflows across operations and risk  building the glue between teams, tools, and data
• Plug into analytics tools (Segment, Sigma (BI), internal dashboards) to identify opportunities and measure results
• Jump into whatever is needed  whether thats tweaking our sign-up flow or helping finance get the right data

What you'll need:

• 1-3+ years of experience as a software engineer, growth engineer, or technical generalist
• Strong coding skills in JavaScript (React/Node)
• Comfort working across the stack and across tools  from Webflow and email editors to SQL and analytics platforms
• Deep scrappiness and bias toward action  you're excited to ship fast and learn fast
• Strong product intuition and ability to prioritize based on impact
• FinTech experience is preferred
• Experience across marketing, product, and ops  or as a founder  is a big plus
