About Común
Comun’s mission is to help Hispanic immigrants turn their hard work into upward mobility — starting with financial services that support their transition from a cash-based system to the digital economy.
We offer checking accounts that can be opened using 100+ types of Latin American IDs, access to over 90K locations nationwide to deposit cash, international transfers to 17 countries at market-leading rates, and 24/7 bilingual customer support with <5 min SLA across email, chat, and phone.
We currently process over $1.5B in annual transaction volume and surpassed $100M in annualized international transfers just six months after launch. Comun has raised +$50M from top investors including Redpoint, Costanoa Ventures, and South Park Commons. Our team brings experience from leading fintech companies like Brex, Nubank, and Mercury.
We believe immigrants are the ultimate entrepreneurs — driven by relentless ambition and a vision for a better future for their families. Comun exists to serve them throughout their journey.

As a backend engineer, you’ll be responsible for extending our systems to support additional banking features, increases in usage volume, and the needs of our non-technical company functions.
You’ll maintain our core offering — a deposit account and debit card powered through our Banking as a Service partner, while designing our architecture to bundle additional financial services into a personalized product experience. We’ve adopted a lightweight microservice infrastructure that allows us to move quickly, but that can flex on robustness to ensure scalability as our engineering team grows.
We value domain experts that are obsessed with their craft and push the quality bar beyond reach. We also like generalists that are self-driven and entrepreneurial, who can make product decisions and own operational processes.
We are a team of 40 based out of New York, coming from industry-leading companies like Brex, Nubank, Cruise, and Verkada. Over half of us are immigrants, and have experienced the problems we’re solving first hand. We value customer focus, high ambition, principled decision-making, and deep trust.
Común is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive culture that celebrates authenticity. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, marital status, disability, protected veteran status, or any other legally protected characteristics.
