Our team includes pros who have worked at Barclays, Standard Chartered, Microsoft, Accenture, and a number of other leading global companies.
But our real secret is hiring people who care about their colleagues and are excited to build something big. This culture helps fuel a high-trust workplace, which allows us to do fun things like offer work from home days and other flexible work arrangements. Our team is constantly looking to improve and works hard to build each other up. We win and lose together and we’re all seriously committed to your growth.
