Senior Android Engineer (Chicago)
Engineering at Venmo
Venmo was founded on the principles of breaking down the intimidating barriers around financial transactions to make them intuitive, friendly, and even fun. And it worked: people love sending money with Venmo, and we’re growing by leaps and bounds!
But we’re only just getting started. We want to take that magic of sending money with Venmo and cascade it into every place where people use money. That means connecting people to their money in the most intuitive and fun way possible, then connecting people with each other. Users already love Venmo, but we know there are lots of things we haven’t thought of to make the experience of using Venmo even more delightful and valuable. All that’s going to take a lot of figuring out. Let’s figure it out together!
The Consumer Finance team is responsible for delivering products and features used by millions of Venmo users every day. Everything from sending money to friends to managing a Venmo card are all apart of what we do. Building innovative and user friendly products is at our core and as a result Venmo’s ever-evolving suite of products improve millions of lives daily. Be ready to build something amazing when you get here. Our users are loyal and passionate, and our products sit at the core of a vibrant and extremely competitive industry.
