We want you to be a happy human, writing Rails code, and helping us build a great, inclusive culture.
We build financial tools that help people get more safety out of a thinning social safety net. We are proud to be doing that work because it matters a lot to a lot of people.
True Link Financial | San Francisco | Software Engineer | Onsite
We exist to provide quality financial services for all: from protecting granddad’s money from scammers to providing supplemental financial tools that support disabled Veterans.
About us:
- 90% of our work is in React and Rails, 5% is in Java, and about 5% is DevOps—AWS
- Our team works to meet high standards of usability, security, and availability - because our customers depend on our products for their immediate (today's groceries) and long-term (retirement investments) financial needs. So we move fast, but we can't be cavalier about breaking things.
- We also get to experiment and build cool things: We've used Twilio to craft a useful and constantly-improving IVR for customer service, and we help make our customers and operations folks happy by processing inquiries via SMS.
We'd love to chat if:
- You've got a minimum of two years of software engineering experience, preferably with Ruby on Rails .
- You’re a nice person who has worked on hairy, wacky full-stack code in production.
- You enjoy exploring implementation options and collaborating with product folks.
- You can improve the codebase without being rude, judgmental or arrogant about it.
- You would describe yourself less as more of a 'session musician' (i.e. Carol Kaye) than a 'rockstar'.
- You're looking for a full-time, on-site role in San Francisco.
Our engineering team is striving for true inclusion, since we know what it's like to be underrepresented in tech. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.

A YC company in 2013, True Link Financial exists to provide quality financial services for all: from protecting grandma’s money from scammers to providing supplemental financial tools that support disabled Veterans.
About us:
* 90% of our work is in React and Rails, 5% is in Java, and about 5% is DevOps—AWS
* Our team works to meet high standards of usability, security, and availability - because our customers depend on our products for their immediate (today's groceries) and long-term (retirement investments) financial needs. So we move fast, but we can't be cavalier about breaking things.
* We also get to experiment and build cool things: We've used Twilio to craft a useful and constantly-improving IVR for customer service, and we help make our customers and operations folks happy by processing inquiries via SMS.
We'll probably get along wonderfully if:
* You've got a minimum of 10 months of software engineering experience, preferably with Ruby on Rails
* You’re a nice person who has worked on hairy, wacky full-stack code in production
* You enjoy exploring implementation options and collaborating with product folks
* You can improve the codebase without being rude, judgmental or arrogant about it
* You would describe yourself less as more of a 'session musician' (e.g. Carol Kaye) than a 'rockstar'
* You're looking for a full-time, on site role in San Francisco
Our engineering team is striving for true inclusion, since we know what it's like to be underrepresented in tech. Our engineers didn't go to 'top CS schools' and have fought to get into this industry, so we question all tech industry platitudes. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.

Our software stands valiantly between scammers and grandma's money.
I found out about this big-hearted YC company from the June 1st Who's Hiring thread and started working full-time on June 15th. Here are some things I've done since then:
- Helped to train & mentor our talented first-job engineer (sourced through Hacker News!)
- Built internal features that made our Customer Support folks pretty much squeal with excitement
- Got to attend & report back on a brilliant event called 'Disrupt Bias' - featuring top researchers in that field
- Attended an INCREDIBLE annual offsite held at a beautiful North Bay ranch
- Watched 'lightning talks' by various team members about the Fermi Paradox, Frank Lloyd Wright, Coco Chanel & many more
- Was treated with compassion after a pretty ridiculous security misstep :/
- Got selected to speak at an upcoming conference that hasn't published its speaker list yet. :)
- Learned a ton about how payment processing works under the hood
- Used Twilio to add functionality to our phone system so our CS friends have a lower call volume
We're looking for nice people who have worked on hairy, wacky production full-stack code before - someone who can make things better without being rude, judgemental or arrogant about it. We'd prefer session musicians over rockstars.
Email [email protected] and we'll get back to you within 2 business days, pinky swear!
