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

We're seeking a Platform Engineer (I3) who is an AI-native builder, someone who doesn't just use AI tools but designs and deploys AI agents to eliminate toil, accelerate developer workflows, and multiply what a lean team can deliver. You will own solutions across Kubernetes (AWS EKS), GitOps (Argo CD), CI/CD (GitHub Actions), and our developer portal (Cortex), while relentlessly automating repetitive operational work through agentic AI. As an I3 engineer, you are a professional contributor who effectively represents the team's perspective and communicates across functions. You will collaborate with DevX, SRE, and Product Engineering peers to turn fragmented workflows into AI-powered golden paths, building agents that handle incident triage, environment provisioning, config generation, and developer self-service so engineers can focus on high-value work instead of tickets, aligned with our Platform Engineer growth matrix.

This position will ideally be hybrid at our Mexico City office as part of our expanding site, though remote work is possible. EarnIn offers excellent employee benefits, including healthcare, internet and cell phone reimbursement, a learning and development stipend, and potential opportunities to travel to our headquarters in Mountain View. Our salary ranges depend on role, level, and location.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

AI-Agent Development: Design, build, and iterate on AI agents that automate platform operations, from service and infra bootstrap, intelligent incident diagnosis, automated runbook execution, to self-healing infrastructure and PR-review bots. Own the agent lifecycle: prompt engineering, tool/function-call orchestration, evaluation, and production monitoring.
Workflow Automation with AI: Identify and eliminate repetitive human-in-the-loop workflows across CI/CD, environment management, access provisioning, and change management.
Developer Self-Service: Evolve our developer control plane (Cortex) into an AI-augmented self-service platform where engineers interact with intelligent assistants, not just dashboards, to scaffold services, debug deployments, query platform health, and resolve issues without filing tickets.
Delivery & GitOps: Implement and maintain GitOps-based continuous delivery with Argo CD, integrating AI into CI pipelines for intelligent test selection, automated config validation, and deployment risk scoring.
