At Narmi, how we work is just as important as what we build. We call this The Narmi Standard:

• High Ceiling: You go beyond the obvious, take initiative, and hold yourself to high standards with care.


• Low Ego: You put the mission above ourselves, share credit freely, and lead with curiosity.


• Alignment to Mission: You believe that helping community financial institutions win against Mega Banks and FinTechs is a worthy endeavor, and will use that belief as a northstar to anchor your efforts to that goal.


• High Commitment: You follow through, roll up your sleeves, and keep the bar high for yourself and others.

We believe that high-performing teams include people from different backgrounds and experiences who can challenge each other's assumptions with fresh perspectives. To that end, we actively seek a diverse pool of applicants, including those from historically marginalized groups.
