Simple is building an online banking experience with customer service at its heart and soul, and we’re looking to hire brilliant customer relations representatives. If you’re truly passionate about helping people, we want to hear from you.
You’ve got to be downright nerdy about providing a kick-ass customer experience. Apply because you genuinely love talking to people and solving their problems. Apply because you’ve got innovative ideas about customer service that you want to see implemented. Apply because you know banks are horrible at customer service and you know you can do better.
These words should describe you: kind, smart, articulate, empathetic, curious, web-savvy, tech-literate.
You should also be:
- Able to work out of our 24x7 call center in Portland, OR
- A natural communicator. Simple reps will need to explain sometimes-complex ideas to customers, so you need to be able to write and speak with clarity and precision.
- Creative. Whatever your professional or personal background (seriously, it could be anything), we’re looking for people who can use what they’ve learned to bring creativity to customer service.
- Able to roll with change and solve problems. Simple is still a small startup, and we’ll need your continuous input on how to make Simple better.
- Stoked about Simple and working for a startup. Not in a street-team, pep-rally sort of way, but our mission and our style should resonate with you. We think Simple is going to be huge, and our reps are going to be a vital part of that.
Don’t worry too much if:
- You don’t have customer service experience. We’ll train smart, awesome people.
- You don’t know much about banking. We’ll teach you!
Simple offers a friendly, laid-back but hard-working environment as well as competitive salary and benefits. Our customer relations folks are essential to making our product great and keeping our customers happy. We promote from within and reps will have opportunities to advance as we grow.
Sound good? Apply! Send us a cover letter and anything else that will help us get to know you and your awesome personality. Feel free to be informal and creative.. Tell us what's great about you, why you want to work at Simple, and anything else you feel like sharing. Note that applicants will not be considered without a cover letter, so make it good!
The Company
Our mission at Simple is to radically redesign the consumer banking experience with a focus on beautiful interfaces, transparent policies, modern technology, and extraordinary customer service.
The Job
You are a frontend engineer living on the edge of what browsers have to offer. A new WebKit feature or Javascript API means a new experiment or personal project. Call it HTML5 or call it something else entirely - it's the latest and greatest of the web and it's your playground. We're talking clean, minimal markup. We're talking CSS3 for everything imaginable. Fast pages with responsive layouts in as little code as possible.
You love the power and flexibility of CSS, but have fully embraced the extra power that tools like SCSS provide. You remember what life was like before CSS variables, nested rules and mixins, and are glad you never have to go back. You've been happily extracting your favorite tricks and effects into a modular, gracefully degradable toolbox that let you get each new project looking great faster than the last. Turning a beautiful design into a beautiful, functional app is what drives you.
You have a cautious yet deep respect for Javascript and even the DOM. You know its flaws and misgivings and work around them rather than complaining. Less whining, more grinding. Experience with large and complex Javascript applications. We're talking dozens of files, each defining a specific interaction or piece of functionality. Real code. Experience with MooTools or other modular, object-oriented Javascript frameworks a huge plus. Heaps of vanilla-js experience needed as well.
General knowledge of and opinions on the Javascript open-source community: frameworks, micro-frameworks, async loaders, testing, compilers, mvc-frameworks and the rest. Contributions to open-source Javascript projects and personal projects matter more than education.
Oh, right - you love making webapps. You want to help make an app that could have a measurable, positive impact on the lives of people. You think you can fix banking.
Benefits
We may be a startup, but we offer competitive salaries, great benefits, equity in the company, and a nice budget for your own custom setup. We encourage and subsidize conference participation and continuing education. We believe in work/life balance and fostering a happy workplace.

The Job
Simple is looking for a generalist engineer who's comfortable with Ruby, Rails, and web development best practices to work across our stack. We're building both internal and external services and systems, and Ruby is our integration language for much of that work. If you're a Ruby craftsperson looking to work on a variety of interesting projects with a small, talented team of backend, frontend, and mobile engineers, this is your gig.
Skills and Tools
We're pragmatists. We have no religion about development process, programming languages, version control, text editors, SQL vs NoSQL, etc. We use the right tool for the job, and we try to stay adaptable and open-minded. We care deeply about building a mutually supportive atmosphere, and you should, too.
We don't expect everyone we hire to be an expert in everything we do on their first day. We do expect that you want to learn, grow, and be challenged by the people you work with. You should be able to learn new things on your own, quickly.
We believe strongly in metrics, testing, continuous integration, and working fluidly and harmoniously with our experienced operations staff. Everything we write is designed for simplicity and maintainability. We take security very, very seriously.
Our backend developers mostly work in Scala and Java. Our frontend developers mostly work in Ruby and JavaScript. We use Git, Chef, a variety of Amazon Web Services, Postgres, and more. We're experimenting with other neat stuff, but always with a critical eye and thorough benchmarking.

The Company
Our mission at Simple is to radically redesign the consumer banking experience with a focus on beautiful interfaces, transparent policies, modern technology, and extraordinary customer service.
The Job
Simple takes security very seriously. Do you get excited about new vulnerabilities? Do you do vulnerability research in your spare time? Do you enjoy reverse engineering? Are you as comfortable in Burp as you are in IDA and your debugger (even if your predilections may be heavily in favor of one or the other)? With all that, do you still consider yourself a coder foremost? As any reverse engineer, vulnerability researcher, or developer knows, it's not about the problem, it's about finding the solution. Do you like taking on hard problems and coding up solutions?
We are looking for people like this to help build our information security team. Candidates must live and breathe security. We ideally are looking for candidates who have had information security consulting experience because it demonstrates breadth of knowledge, good communication skills, and willingness to do deal with "high-level" problems such as: employee awareness/education, security architecture review, and operational security. If you have not formally done any consulting, fret not, we still want to talk to you, especially if you think you have many of the aforementioned qualities as well as some of the following skills:
- Expert-level proficiency with at least one "high-level" language (multiple preferred): Ruby, Java, Python, etc.
- Medium to advanced proficiency with a "low level" language: C, C++, Assembly, etc.
- Some experience with software vulnerability research, software exploitation, and exploit development.
- Moderate proficiency with software reverse engineering tools and techniques.
- Plenty of experience with application-level, system-level, and network penetration testing.
- Plenty of experience with web application security and web application auditing.
- Moderate to advanced proficiency with secure software concepts and source code auditing (C, C++, etc.)
- Familiarity with cryptography, secure protocol design, etc.
- Willingness to perform or collaborate on occasional operational security tasks, as well as policy compliance.
- Mobile and embedded application penetration testing experience a plus.
Technical Environment
Our backend developers mostly work in Scala or Java. Our frontend developers mostly work in Javascript and Ruby. In addition, we have written tools or services in Ruby, Python, R, and C.
