How You’ll Help Us Achieve It
We believe strongly in building teams that can orient around a well-defined mission and are equipped to execute autonomously against that mission. We count on you to collaborate with your team to build and support our platform and products used by customers sending money transfers from 50+ countries into 150+ markets worldwide. We are looking for engineers who have experience in one or more technologies/programming languages and the desire to learn new ones on the job.
