About Grain:

Grain turns your debit card into a credit card by analyzing the cash flow in your linked checking account and generating a line of credit tailored just for you. We never run a credit check and we don’t issue a physical card. People use Grain as an alternative to a credit card to establish a credit history or ease their cash flow. We’re challenging the notion that debit and revolving credit need to be distinct, siloed products. We believe that one should very much inform the other - one card with access to both. We’re a YC-backed and venture-funded startup. Since its launch, we have grown our customer base 42% MoM and 6x’d our revenue YoY. Grain has 30k+ reviews and a 4.7 rating on the App Store.

About the Role

You’ll be a key voice in taking the Grain brand to the next level through UI, art direction, graphic, motion, social, and web design. You’ll work cross-functionally with Marketing/Communications and other teams. You have a love for using design to evoke emotion and are always ready to be hands-on with visualizing solutions. You have experience with standard methodologies but are just as comfortable challenging them. You're a self-learner that has confidence in their intuition and can oscillate between the practical and artful sides of design. You’ll wear multiple hats as the second employee within the design team.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection.

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor required by law to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We are also required to measure our progress toward having at least 7% of our workforce be individuals with disabilities. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had a disability. Because a person may become disabled at any time, we ask all of our employees to update their information at least every five years.

Identifying yourself as an individual with a disability is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer will be maintained confidentially and not be seen by selecting officials or anyone else involved in making personnel decisions. Completing the form will not negatively impact you in any way, regardless of whether you have self-identified in the past. For more information about this form or the equal employment obligations of federal contractors under Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
