We’re backed by some of the world’s leading investors and show great traction with scale-ups and large enterprises across the financial services industry.

We are looking to build on this success by growing our team across all seniority levels from software engineers, web developers, marketing and sales experts, and entrepreneurial business analysts.

OUR STANCE

  • We're eager to meet talented and driven candidates regardless of whether they tick all the boxes.
  • We're looking for someone who will add to our culture, not just fit within it.
  • We strongly encourage individuals from groups traditionally underestimated and underrepresented in tech to apply
  • We seek to actively recognize and combat racism, sexism, ableism and ageism. We embrace and support all gender identities and expressions, and celebrate love in its many forms.
