Lead Product Designer ( UI/UX)

  • Full-time

Company Description

We're a passionate team of 20 people who want to improve the financial lives of hourly and shift workers. Our innovative Android and IOS apps enable people to receive their pay on-demand when they have completed their work instead of making them wait until the end of an aribitrary pay period. If you can call an Uber car in 5 minutes, why should you have to wait two weeks to get your pay? We make our money on tips, not fees and interest, which ensures that we stay focused on delighting our customers. Our founder is a successful repeat entrepreneur with deep financial services expertise and we've lined up some of the best venture capital firms in New York and Silicon Valley behind our vision.
