ABOUT VARO
Varo is an entirely new kind of bank. All digital, mission driven, FDIC insured, and designed for the way our customers live their lives.

We're on a mission to bring financial inclusion and opportunity to all hard-working Americans. Through our mobile app, we offer premium bank accounts that have no minimum balance requirement or monthly account fees, high-interest savings accounts, short term lending and solutions to help customers stretch their paycheck, build credit and start saving. Our tech-first products are designed to make money work for everyone and help customers and communities build greater financial resiliency.

Varo is distinct from other fintechs: we've made history as the first and only consumer fintech to be granted a full national bank charter by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).

Varo Bank represents the evolution of a new generation of banks that are born from innovation and built on technology to empower consumers and businesses.

Our team combines the best of both consumer tech and banking, and we’re wildly passionate about helping our customers. Our teams are based in San Francisco and Salt Lake City. Privately held, we’ve raised over $482M to date, from leading institutional investors and strategic partners including Warburg Pincus, The Rise Fund, Gallatin Point Capital, Harbourvest Partners, Progressive Insurance, and Russell Westbrook Enterprises.

Varo is entrepreneurial, collaborative, enthusiastic, customer-oriented, fast-paced, and multicultural.  This is an open and relatively flat organization that puts an emphasis on collaboration, sharing ideas and information. For a relatively early stage company, Varo is grounded in a strong set of values and takes pride in the diversity of its employees and board. 

Varo. A bank for all of us.

ABOUT THE PRODUCT TEAM
Varo’s product team is a cornerstone of the culture and the app experiences that our customers interact with on a daily basis. We’re responsible for making sure the products we ship provide innovative solutions that solve real problems for people. 

We appreciate the value of getting into the mental models of our customers and out of our offices. We truly live up to the “glue” metaphor for product management and bring together cross-functional teams to act on a combination of qualitative and quantitative data. We thrive on feedback and push to always up our game—but try to never take ourselves too seriously.

  • Experience driving strategy for infrastructure products in a top tech or payments company.
  • Experience with configuration of all T24 banking and lending modules and interfaces.
  • Knowledge of T24 Data migration.

  • Experience in J2EE Application Server (JBOSS/WebSphere/WebLogic).
  • Experience building and designing JMS queues.
  • Passion to seek an in-depth understanding of stakeholder needs and turn that insight into a compelling vision and strategy for the platform product area.
  • Strong execution and ability to drive work to completion.
  • Comfortable with pulling and manipulating data using SQL.

    • THE THREE SKILLS THAT MATTER MOST

    OUR CORE VALUES
    Customers First: Understand the problems our customers are trying to solve. Respond with a sense of urgency. Build relationships that result in loyalty. Be data and insights-driven.
