Leopard.FYI 💜 SF ⛰️ STAFF- ONLY ⛰️ Engineering Dinner 🍽️ at Payjoy 💚 (INVITE ONLY)
Join the Leopard.FYI community for a low key, invite-only Staff Engineering Dinner & Hang ⛰️ at Coffee Wafflee (next to the Payjoy Office) in SOMA (kitty corner from Caltrain!)
What to Expect: Networking events can often be stressful and not conducive to forming genuine connections. Leopard events provide a relaxed alternative, bringing together community members & mentors in a supportive and safe space <3
Expect a low-pressure hang with other Leopard members at the Staff+ level. We’ll create a safe space to connect with peers about Staff-level scope and impact, chat directly from engineering leaders at PayJoy, and hopefully swap practical insights you can bring back to your team.
Note: This event is only for Staff+ engineers or engineers working at Staff, Principal or Team Lead scope. For senior folks, keep an eye out for other Leopard events like the April event at Reducto.
Food: Enjoy beverages & lite bites. Email us if you have any dietary restrictions or allergies, but we typically make sure to offer a variety of options that are inclusive for Vegan, Gluten-Free, and Dairy-Free members.
Who This Is Event is For ✅ :
✅ Leopard.FYI Members or Prospective/ Curious Members at the Staff, Lead & Principal Level ⛰️
✅ Payjoy Senior / Exec Team members 🚀

About our Host, PayJoy:
PayJoy is a fast-growing, SF-based fintech startup (1645 employees, 120 on the engineering team, raised a total of $585.7M) whose mission is to deliver access to credit to the next billion people in emerging markets worldwide. They have served > 18 million customers, are profitable, and are planning to IPO next year.
PayJoy was founded to benefit underserved populations worldwide in emerging markets. By opening the door to smartphones, finance, and the modern financial system to those who have been excluded, PayJoy’s goal is to enable the underserved to escape the trap of poverty and gain economic freedom.
The company’s model is unique: It helps people build credit through pay-as-you-go financing for smartphones. Once the phones are paid off, customers can apply for loans through PayJoy using their devices as collateral. PayJoy’s original smartphone security technology allows smartphones to serve as collateral for lending or financing – drastically reducing default rates, enabling cheaper credit, and massively expanding the pool of customers who can qualify for credit at affordable rates
Why should you consider joining PayJoy? "We have a great mission to bring a billion underserved people into the modern financial system" –Doug Ricket, Founder & CEO. Fun fact about CEO Doug: when he was an undergraduate at MIT, he questioned why there were so few women in engineering and wrote his thesis about it. He went on to found a summer STEM program for high school girls, which has supported thousands of women over time studying at MIT. He also served in the Peace Corps in West Africa and lived in a village without electricity!
PayJoy is a Leopard hiring partner, which means they are actively working with Leopard to interview & hire Staff Engineers in San Francisco. Leopard has deeper insight into their culture, team, and interview process, so if there’s a role that aligns with your background, we’ll share everything you need to know directly in your Leopard Slack channel!
