Our Mission

 

Instant Financial is an industry-leading instant pay platform that is changing the way that millions of Americans get paid. With a push of a button on the Instant app, we give employees immediate access to their earned pay after each shift, for free. Employers who pay with Instant significantly boost job applicants, cut turnover, and dramatically reduce absenteeism, transforming them into Employers of Choice. We’re the only instant pay platform that is designed for companies that value employee success and well-being, and that’s what gets us up in the morning.

Based in Alpharetta, our team has a proven track record of making big things happen. We do this by inspiring ourselves and those we work with to do what others cannot do. We know that we must move together as a team, celebrate our successes, and above all learn quickly from the mistakes we know will be made due to the fast pace of our execution. We carry ourselves with urgency, honesty and integrity in everything we do. Together, we truly believe we can empower working lives.

 

About the Team

We're a small but high-performing team of engineers, building SaaS and mobile technologies for a rapidly growing organization, led by a founding team with proven success in building great tech companies.

We embrace Agile and DevOps practices to ensure the delivery of high-quality software transparently, predictably, rapidly, and with a high release velocity. We use infrastructure provisioning automation, configuration management, centralized logging, test automation, continuous integration, and continuous delivery, while ensuring appropriate security throughout our delivery processes. We have a well-defined product and technology roadmap in support of a very healthy sales pipeline. We have a highly efficient flat structure and ambitious growth plans.

Our stack is JavaScript-based (with Meteor and Node/Express microservices), but we're not picky about your experience, as long as you're open minded and willing to pick it up. Most importantly, we work in a collaborative environment of continuous learning - we expect you to challenge us as much as we challenge you!
