Trim
Trim’s mission is to radically change financial health outcomes for Americans at scale.
People’s finances are often difficult. Nearly all Americans would like to — and can! — improve their financial situation. Trim’s goal is to get customers to feel confident, secure and in control of their financial lives.
We improve financial health outcomes for Americans at scale by automating financial tasks that save users money, fight fees, and get consumers out of debt.
Why join us?
Trim is a mission driven company that delivers tangible value to our users everyday. We have saved over $70 million for our users, and have only begun to scratch the surface of the financial health outcomes we will drive for Americans.
Users credit us with helping them get out of debt, improving their credit situation, and ultimately regaining confidence in their financial life.
We have experienced 10x user and revenue growth in the past year, having just crossed half a million users and a $6M run rate. Solid, industry leading unit economics separate us from the pack in the personal finance space!
We are a tight knit team who comes to work everyday because we enjoy working with each other. We prioritize team culture as much as we do our customer and product.
We have successfully been acquired by OneMain Financial who loves us and wants to keep us in the start up mentality!
Engineering at Trim
We’re a small team of product-minded full-stack engineers. Each individual engineer is instrumental in driving product development from start to finish. We work closely with the product team to help design, scope, and prototype features. We work with each other to architect and build functionality, often touching frontend and backend code in the same day. We use GitHub pull requests to share and code review each other's work. Every engineer can trigger production deploys, which are quick and happen multiple times a day.
Trim is heavily data-driven, so once we ship we work closely with the product, growth, and marketing teams to analyze the user journey and implement A/B tests to optimize further. Our work is often seen by thousands of people in a matter of days so we can quickly gain significance on certain types of tests.
We operate on weekly planning cycles, use Asana to track and visualize our work in a Kanban board, and regularly demo our work to each other and the whole company.
We have over half a billion items of semi-structured transaction data from financial institutions (purchases, transfers, refunds, and more). How do we efficiently and effectively gather insights for a single user, for a larger subset of users, and for the entire Trim user base? As Trim’s user base scales 10x and beyond, how do we support existing application functionality while allowing for novel uses of this data?
Some of our functionality requires taking action on behalf of the user in circumstances where no APIs exist. We do this with a variety of methods, including browser automation. How do we do this at greater scale and with progressively less resource consumption? How do we better simulate user behavior to work around bot detection? How do we improve the user experience when browser automation needs to happen almost synchronously?
Create a data model to measure and identify user income from semi-structured transaction data from financial institutions.
Lead the full-stack development of a new product that identifies key insights into someone's financial habits and guides them with actionable steps to achieve financial independence.
Build a pub/sub abstraction to make it easier for the React application to receive real-time updates about complex asynchronous processes without polling.
Reduce the size of the React application bundle to speed up page load times (e.g. by enabling code splitting by route or similar).

We place a high degree of emphasis on ownership and collaboration. As a small team, every team member has influence in the broader company direction and is empowered and expected to have their own opinions.
