- Tackle complex integrations within the personal finance space to enable smooth customer experiences and accurate financial reporting
- You’ll shape the product strategy and tech organization: you’ll have significant input into our product development process - this includes helping to scope what we are building and how we are building it to optimize for both speed and elegant user experience
- High Impact - Ability to drive real impact and help build a company from the ground up
- Flexibility - We are a fully remote and distributed company. This means you can work from wherever you want!
