Software Engineer, Frontend

At Pomelo, we're not just improving money transfer—we're transforming how families support each other across borders. As the first financial technology platform to combine consumer credit with international money transfer, we've eliminated fees, added rewards, and given immigrants a path to build credit while supporting loved ones back home.

Our mission is to increase financial access and empowerment for immigrants and their loved ones. Through our unique approach, customers can send up to $2,500 today and pay next month with no interest charges, while earning points they can convert into gifts for rides, food, and more. With industry-leading security, better exchange rates, and 24/7 support, we're making it easier than ever for families to stay connected and thrive.

We're a team of ~45 growing our San Francisco headquarters, inspired by our founder, Eric Frenkeil and backed by visionary investors and industry pioneers including Keith Rabois of Khosla Ventures (formerly of Founders Fund, Opendoor, Square), Kevin Hartz (Xoom and Eventbrite) of A* Capital, The Chainsmokers, The Weeknd, and more. Join us in building the future of borderless financial access and making it possible for families everywhere to send more love home.
