Next Steps

Like what you see? Applying is easy, but it takes time. See, while we know you're awesome, it's actually really hard and time-consuming to find you in the midst of literally hundreds of other applications we get from everyone else. So this is where we're going to ask our first favor: can you make it really easy and obvious how great you are, so we don't accidentally overlook you? There are many ways to do that, but the easiest way to help us out is by answering the following questions:

1. When did you first start supporting customers, and what is your proudest customer success story from your career so far?
2. Can you describe a time when you dealt with a particularly complex customer situation? What were the challenges involved, and what specific actions did you take to achieve a positive resolution?
3. If you were tasked with analyzing customer behavior and recommending product-driven solutions, how would you approach that problem?
4. What do you want to do with the rest of your life, and how is Expensify a step toward your long-term goals? (We’re serious, we want to know! Share what you’re comfortable sharing, but we are a group of ambitious individuals building a community of people who want to achieve success in every aspect of our lives, and we encourage employees to figure out how they can use Expensify to realize their personal goals with the support of the company around them.)
5. How did you hear about us? A job posting? Chalk on a sidewalk? From a friend? Let us know where you saw this opening.

Please note that we are only looking for candidates who are based in San Francisco, CA, or Portland, OR.

Resume not your thing? That’s great, we don’t really read them anyway! Forward your responses to the questions to apply@expensify.com. We're excited to hear from you!
