You might have read recently that we added merchant auto completion to some parts of our product.

This “simple” addition required some thinking on how people are using our product and what would be the best experience for them.

Like every product change, it is crucial to define how important this feature is and how important the flow supported is. Editing the merchant name of an expense is part of the expense editing flow. While important, this is kind of a secondary flow for us. We are optimizing the usage of our SmartScan and bank import technologies to automate the process of creating expenses in an user account. By using these two technologies in conjunction with Expense Rules, Continue Reading…

This week we’re releasing version 4.3.0 of our mobile app on iPhone and Android. In addition to the many small bug fixes and other improvements, this release includes the ability to use Wingman on your phone. With Wingman, you can give someone full access to your account full access to your account without having to share your password. Expensify will continue to keep a paper trail of each user’s actual actions. So when your Wingman performs an action on a report, we record that it was them, not you.  Continue Reading…

This month marks the sixth anniversary of Expensify. In may 2008, David Barrett got the idea of a world where expenses reports don’t have to suck. With this idea in mind he rallied the troops and founded Expensify, and for six years we’ve been experimenting with countless ideas on how to make expense reports not suck.  Continue Reading…

Garrett leaked the information: we are going to Thailand this year.

Everybody is really excited. Some of us are so excited that we are already on our way.

We are all going to meet in Bangkok, before moving south. With more than 20 people going, it is our biggest offshore so far.

PS: the picture is a view of Hong Kong. My flight to Bangkok is doing a layover there so I took the opportunity to explore the city.

This place is awesome, our product kicks ass and our team is a mesh of rockstars who are passionate about what they do. We’re looking for all sorts of people — always engineers and sales, definitely a designer, but right now we have a desperate need for QA.

No Bugs Allowed

Now, we’re mostly a bunch of programmers, and to be completely honest, we haven’t had great experience with dedicated QA teams in the past. They generally fit very large, very slow organizations where it takes a dozen people to do anything. But we’re super small, very fast moving, so we need someone who can hang with that.

What exactly that is we’re not sure — after all, we’re looking for someone with QA expertise to tell us what to do. But as best as we can tell, we need someone who is comfortable with PHP, JavaScript, jQuery, HTML, CSS, and ideally a smidge of C++. Don’t worry, we don’t expect you to know all of them. Unless you are a mega rockstar. But a regular rockstar would be lovely too.

Are you still interested? Sweet! Next steps are as follows:
Check out expensify.com/jobs, read more about us, the team, and get a feel for our environment. Are you as into us as we are into you?
Email us your resume and the answers to the questions below with “Sweet QA Analyst” as the subject line (jobs@expensify.com)

  1. What is the difference between QA and programming, and why do you prefer to do QA instead of becoming a programmer?
  2. What do you want to do with the rest of your life, and how is Expensify a step toward your long-term goals?
  3. Please forward this application to three people you think we should hire, cc’ing jobs@expensify.com. (Don’t worry, we’re eager to hire you and them. Indeed, good people have good friends: solid referrals here increase the odds we’ll hire you.)
  4. How did you hear about us? A job posting? Chalk on a sidewalk? From a friend? Let us know where you saw this opening.

We look forward to hearing form you!
