Full Stack Engineer

About Method
🔮 Method Financial was founded in 2021 after our founders experienced first-hand the difficulties of embedding debt repayment into their app ( GradJoy ). They decided to build their own embedded banking service that allows developers to easily retrieve and pay any of their users' debts - including credit cards, student loans, car loans, and mortgages - all through a single API.
As a BuiltIn recognized - growing team , we're focused on providing the opportunity for ambitious and entrepreneurial individuals to have high levels of impact at the forefront of the fintech space. Continuous improvement, collaboration, and a clear mission bring us together in service of delivering the best products for our users. We are a remote-first team, striving to set up the best environment for everyone to be successful.
We raised a $2.5 million round backed by Y Combinator, top investors including Ardent, Live Oak VP, and Leonis Capital. We're also backed by founders and leaders of Truebill, Upstart, and Goldman Sachs.
We prefer this role to be located in Austin, TX (to sit closer to our technical leadership). If you're interested in relocating to Austin, TX we can offer relocation assistance as well.
