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.
As a staff engineer, you’ll be a technical expert working on and solving various engineering challenges. This role requires both architecture and coding expertise, and will act as a technical mentor for other team members.
Our engineering team tackles a range of projects, including money, transactions, fraud, and risk. We’re looking for someone with a deep understanding of 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.) while leveling up the broader engineering organization.
