Company Description

We are a seed-stage startup in the FinTech space.  Our vision is to revolutionize the way credit operates—from application, to underwriting, to repayment.  We build cutting-edge technology and create networks which expand access to cheaper credit, reduce costs for lenders, and help fuel the collaborative economy of tomorrow.

 

We come from varied backgrounds and bring a unique perspective to lending.  We are looking for individuals who are humble, hard working, passionate, friendly, team-oriented, and innovative.  We like people who speak their mind and are comfortable with rapid change and uncertainty.  We value humor, user-centered design, open communication, curiosity, challenging assumptions, and rapid experimentation.  We seek to build groundbreaking technology and marry it with beautiful, intuitive design, and to transform intangible data into smart, holistic decisions.  

 

Our engineering team strongly believes in metrics, testing, rapid experimentation and working seamlessly with the rest of the business.  Everything we write is designed for simplicity and maintainability, and we take security extremely seriously.

  • Creating scalable and robust systems that can easily handle enormous data sets without significant degradation in performance.

  • Integrating third-party APIs into our infrastructure.
