We're excited if you... Are a show, don't tell kind of person and are able to continuously improve your craft via measurable analytical feedback. Prefer saying let's try it out! instead of it's been done, and it doesn't work. Plan ahead and stay on top of things, but don't get flustered if it doesn't go as planned (predicting the future is hard, we tried it). Are curious, love to learn, and love to share your knowledge.

You will also have significant input on how the product will evolve. But please, leave your ego at the door (we have no doors, so you'll have to be creative about it). Culture Besides building an amazing product, we also aim to create the company we'd love to work for, and it starts with defining our core values:

• Community - While we are fully remote, we are a tight-knit team. We help each other, grow together, and win together.
• Balance - Live your full life, be fulfilled at work, but not at your life's expense.
• Ownership - Regardless of what you do, own your work and be proud to stand behind it.
• Have fun - Who says building a new financial world order needs to be a serious affair
• The only thing serious is how awesome it is going to be.
• If you are nodding as you read this, we'd like to hear from you!
