Whether it’s saving to buy a house or planning for retirement, hundreds of thousands of people rely on us to invest and save their money. If you are passionate about financial wellness and are driven to solve complex problems that make saving and investing simple, this role is for you.

Mobile Engineers sit side-by-side with Full Stack Engineers, user experience designers, and product managers to craft our consumer-facing applications. Part of being a member of this team is a love for building products you're proud to share with your friends and family. Our goal is to delight our customers whenever possible with sleek design, simple user experience, and access to sophisticated advice.

• Collaborate, with purpose. You’ll work in small groups with other talented thinkers and figure out how to make the company’s application even better

• Contribute to an environment of open communication, where engineers feel empowered to share ideas and take initiative to solve problems that contribute to achieving company objectives

What We’re Looking For:

• Experience building applications in JavaScript/TypeScript and React Native development and familiarity with the underlying iOS and Android platforms. Experience with Flutter is nice to have!

• Additional experience with GraphQL is a plus.

• Strong understanding of software architecture, scalability, and performance considerations in mobile apps.

• Ensure high standards for code quality, test coverage, accessibility, and performance.

• Strong track record leading projects, driving adoption of platform improvements, and making pragmatic tradeoffs while maintaining quality
