Staff Software Engineer (UX / Frontend)

Are you an experienced UX Engineer or Frontend Engineer looking to make a big impact at a mission-driven company? Do you thrive in high-autonomy startup environments?

Propel is on a mission to build modern, respectful, and effective technology that helps low-income Americans improve their financial health. All of our users deserve first-class experiences in their daily interactions with the social safety net and financial services, and too often, tech leaves this population behind. We're a passionate team of 100 Propellers – all working towards a vision where all Americans can make it through every month with dignity and abundance. We’re looking for a motivated UX Engineer or Frontend Engineer to join our engineering team at Propel to help make this a reality.

This role will make an impact and possibly work across several products and stacks, including mobile banking, interacting with government programs, surfacing savings opportunities, healthcare, frontend architecture, and more! We are looking for a passionate, user-centric engineer that is excited about working on meaningful problems and delivering beautiful solutions that have a positive impact on our users’ lives.

Here's how you'll impact the company :

• Be a strategic leader in identifying the best technical and product opportunities. Whether it’s hopping in to build a product from scratch in a 0-to-1 initiative or advocating for a large refactor of a legacy frontend system, this role will have a strong voice in setting the technical and product direction of the company and be hands-on in making it happen.
• Up-level and set the bar for engineering. You will be a role model for others and establish best practices when it comes to technical decisions, code hygiene, written communication and documentation, and judgment when it comes to shipping high-quality products and projects on a timeline.
• Dive deep into the most important, highest complexity product work at the company. When there is something that needs to be built quickly with high polish and scale, you’ll be someone we lean on to help get it done. You’ll be given both a lot of autonomy and a lot of support in how you want to tackle tough but rewarding challenges!

More About Propel

We believe that Americans with limited income deserve modern, respectful, and effective experiences around their government benefits and money. Unfortunately, the status quo often fails to treat them as first-class citizens in their daily interactions around the social safety net and financial services. The tech industry hasn’t pulled its weight in solving the problems faced by low-income Americans.

Propel’s mission is to change that. We’ve built Providers, the single most popular app in the country built specifically for low-income Americans. Over 5 million families each month use Providers to seamlessly manage their government benefits (programs like SNAP, commonly known as food stamps), conduct their banking, and save and earn money. Providers has been recognized by the White House, featured on the front page of the NYTimes, and carries over 500,000 five star reviews.

Propel is a for-profit, venture-backed start-up company that holds its social mission at its core. We’re proud to be supported by a blend of nonprofits, impact investors, and world-class investors, including the Robin Hood Foundation, Andreessen Horowitz, Nyca Partners, Financial Health Network, JPMorganChase, Kevin Durant, Serena Williams, and Nas. For us to build a self-sustaining and profitable business, we need to deeply understand our user’s needs and build multiple successful products addressing those needs. If this challenge appeals to you, we’d love to talk!

Join us, and let's build something amazing together!
