ABOUT EARNIN

As one of the first pioneers of earned wage access, our passion at EarnIn is building products that deliver real-time financial flexibility for people living paycheck to paycheck. Our community members access their earnings as they earn them, with options to spend, save, and grow their money without mandatory fees, interest rates, or credit checks. We’re fortunate to have an incredibly experienced leadership team, combined with world-class funding partners like A16Z, Matrix Partners, DST, Ribbit Capital, and a very healthy core business with a tremendous runway. We’re growing fast and excited to bring on world-class talent to help shape the next chapter of our growth journey.

EarnIn is becoming an AI-native company, embedding AI agents into how we build, analyze, and operate across every function. Teams use AI Agents to move from ideas to execution faster. By letting agents handle repetitive tasks, our people can focus on judgment, creativity, and hard problems. We pair this experimentation with the strict review and security guardrails our regulated financial environment requires, always keeping a focus on privacy and the people who rely on our products.

As a company, we are becoming AI-native, and we encourage you to use AI tools throughout much of your interview process. If you use AI during the live interview, just say so; a quick, natural mention of how it helped and why you are using it is all we need. What we're evaluating is your judgment, reasoning, and ability to own and defend your work, not whether AI was involved. Some rounds, particularly those focused on your career history and past experiences, will not allow the use of AI, and we'll let you know of those in advance. When in doubt, ask your recruiter or interviewer directly.

POSITION SUMMARY

At EarnIn, working with AI is expected, not optional. This is a backend engineering role, not an AI engineering role, but we expect you to use AI-assisted development and agentic workflows (Cursor, Claude, and similar tools) every day to design, build, test, and operate our systems, so you can move much faster and deliver a lot more, while holding a high bar for correctness, review, and safety on systems that move our members' money. You'll work across the stack when the member experience calls for it, partner closely with product, design, and data, and take full ownership of what you ship from idea through production.

This position is hybrid, based in our Vancouver, BC office, with two days a week required in the office. Candidates must be based in the Vancouver area; this role is not open to fully remote work. EarnIn offers excellent employee benefits, including healthcare, internet and cell phone reimbursement, a learning and development stipend, and potential opportunities to travel to our Mountain View headquarters. The Vancouver base salary range for this full-time position is CAD 199,800- 244,200 plus equity and benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Drive the end-to-end design and implementation of new Cash Out features. Break down complex problems to their essentials, translate that complexity into elegant design, and write high-quality, maintainable, well-tested code.
Design and build highly reliable Cash Out transaction flows on top of EarnIn's payments and repayment platforms, which move money over debit card networks, ACH, FedNow, and RTP, with idempotent requests, safe handling of payment failures and returns, reconciliation of Cash Out state against platform outcomes, and auditability built in.
Use AI-assisted development tools and agentic workflows as your default way of working, from design and coding to testing, code review, debugging, and incident response, to deliver significantly more, faster, while staying accountable for the quality and safety of everything that ships.
Work across the stack when the member outcome calls for it, carrying changes from backend services through APIs and into the client experience, in partnership with design, instead of waiting on handoffs.
