Who We Are
Cardless is a fintech startup. Our mission is to make consumer credit more accessible, useful, and engaging, and we do that by partnering with brands to help them launch financial products.
We've begun with a focus on co-branded credit cards. We've launched cards with Manchester United , the Boston Celtics , Liverpool F.C. (click here to see a full list of all our cards); and we have more exciting brands on the way! Our cards are digital-first, consumer-friendly, and tailored to both brands & fans with delightful discounts & rewards.

We're headquartered in San Francisco, but we're building a remote-friendly team across the continental US. We were founded in 2019, and we last raised a $40M Series B in 2021. Our investors include top VCs like Activant, Accomplice, and Greycroft; founders from successful startups like Plaid, SeatGeek, and FiveStars; and executives from major sports teams like the Boston Celtics and Phoenix Suns.
The Role
Cardless credit cards are digital-first and mobile-first. We ship both an iOS app and an Android app that lets customers manage their credit card and use them right away with Apple Pay and Google Pay (no more waiting days for physical cards to arrive in the mail). Our goal is to be both useful & delightful , as well as secure (e.g. via Face ID and tokenization).
There's much more we want to do, but we want to set a new foundation for rapid iteration & development first. To help us get there, we've decided to move to React Native (similar to our peers at Coinbase & NerdWallet ).
We're seeking a mobile-focused Lead Product Engineer to help us architect our new React Native app and lay a great foundation for other engineers to build on. We want to build a codebase that lets our engineers fall into a "pit of success", helping them both move fast (e.g. through reusable components, Storybook or similar, over-the-air updates, and analytics-driven experimentation) and move with high quality (e.g. through TypeScript, linting, unit tests, and crash & error reporting).
Besides writing & reviewing code, you'll plan work, write tech specs & review design docs, lead projects, collaborate across disciplines (e.g. with PM, design, compliance & partnerships), and mentor other engineers. And if it interests you, this role can transition into people management as we grow, though that'll never be a requirement.
The Requirements
Research has shown that women & underrepresented minorities read lists of requirements and consider themselves unqualified if they don't meet every single one. This list represents what we're ideally looking for, but we encourage you to apply even if you don't meet everything 100%. Everyone has unique strengths & weaknesses, and we hire for strength & potential, not lack of weakness.• Experience architecting a mobile app (whether native iOS, native Android, or React Native) and iterating on it in production. This is more important to us than a specific # of years of experience, but we expect most engineers to need at least 3-5 years in the industry to gain this experience.• Experience leading projects, planning work, collaborating cross-functionally, and mentoring other engineers. A high-functioning, collaborative, and supportive environment is important to us, and you'll play an important role in fostering that.• Broad, high-level expertise across engineering, product, and design (e.g. how apps work, APIs, UI & UX patterns, experimentation, etc.).• Deep, low-level expertise in some mobile platform (whether native iOS, native Android, or React Native, covering e.g. navigation, animations, state management, etc.).• Passion for both your craft (building things right) and achieving real-world impact (building the right things for our business & customers).

Our Values
We believe that the best companies are the ones that successfully align their vision and values, that match their decision making processes, hiring criteria, and overall operating principles to the change they're striving to make. We're willing to spend significant time and resources to be above average at the following things, because we believe that will lead to long term success.
- Be curious and be the solution. We work in a complex space. In order to be successful, we must think globally and collaborate cross-functionally. We ask thoughtful questions without judgment and propose comprehensive solutions that address the full picture. We are all owners at Cardless - mindful and empowered.
- Start with the customer. Our customers are our priority. Our care for them drives our actions. The first question we always ask is: how will this impact the customer? We make every decision, no matter how big or small, with the customer top of mind.
- Move fast and build things. We are a startup in a highly regulated space, so we must execute with both speed and precision. We achieve this through deliberate focus, methodical preparation, and disciplined execution. We build, learn, improve, and repeat.
- A place to do your best work. We are a team, and we achieve more together than apart. At Cardless, we want to see each other succeed: we take as much pride in each other's work as our own. We celebrate and seek out diversity of experience, thought, and background in order to accelerate both individual and company growth. We're hungry, we're passionate, and we're inspired to achieve great things together.
Compensation
This role has an annual starting salary range of $160,000 - $200,000 + equity + benefits (see above). Actual compensation is influenced by a wide array of factors including but not limited to skills, experience, and specific work location.
