Were trying to change things for the better, by helping our users fight against a confusing financial system that is stacked against the most vulnerable in society (such as those on low income or the elderly) Specifically, heres what were trying to tackle: * 11.5m people in the UK have less than 100 in savings * 90% of UK savings accounts pay less than inflation * 4bn lost to the loyalty penalty every year * 2/3 of UK adults say money stress has affected the health or wellbeing of someone they know. In three years, we've grown from 2 co-founders sharing a rusty desk in Soho, to a brilliant, hard-working team of 40, with offices in London and Athens.

Our engineering approach We value good engineering principles, imagination, quirkiness and healthy curiosity. We take a conservative approach to using external frameworks and we aspire to write simple, well-tested code, delivered in rapid iterations.

Our culture: openness and accountability Even though you'll have a primary role, you can get involved in any aspect of the business you're interested in and contribute feedback and product ideas freely. In return, we'll expect you to back your decisions with data and logic. Features are considered finished when the data tells us that they've moved the needle. What we look for Technical knowledge is critical but we are a startup treading in uncharted territory so attitude is even more important. We're looking for people that like uncertainty and want to figure out how to do things that havent been done before. You're a true team player and inherently positive.
