In addition to base salary, you will receive an executive level equity option grant, and are eligible for performance-based cash and additional equity bonuses. Compensation included in an offer will be commensurate with the candidate’s skills, experience and geographic location. Compensation ranges for candidates located outside of New York City may differ. You will also receive a full benefits package.
At Narmi, how we work is just as important as what we build. We call this The Narmi Standard:
High Ceiling: You go beyond the obvious, take initiative, and hold yourself to high standards with care.
Low Ego: You put the mission above ourselves, share credit freely, and lead with curiosity.
Alignment to Mission: You believe that helping community financial institutions win against Mega Banks and FinTechs is a worthy endeavor, and will use that belief as a northstar to anchor your efforts to that goal.
High Commitment: You follow through, roll up your sleeves, and keep the bar high for yourself and others.
We believe that high-performing teams include people from different backgrounds and experiences who can challenge each other's assumptions with fresh perspectives. To that end, we actively seek a diverse pool of applicants, including those from historically marginalized groups.
