Who we are:

Shape a brighter financial future with us.

Together with our members, we’re changing the way people think about and interact with personal finance.

We’re a next-generation financial services company and national bank using innovative, mobile-first technology to help our millions of members reach their goals. The industry is going through an unprecedented transformation, and we’re at the forefront. We’re proud to come to work every day knowing that what we do has a direct impact on people’s lives, with our core values guiding us every step of the way. Join us to invest in yourself, your career, and the financial world.

Who you are

You are as much a technical founder as you are a product manager; at your core you are a problem solver, partner, and AI-Native Builder. You move with a speed that defies traditional product lifecycles, collapsing the gap between idea and prototype.

You thrive in high-velocity, high-impact teams, showcasing an entrepreneurial mindset and adaptability born from startup or high-growth environments.

You are an exceptional product leader who’s built consumer products at scale; you deeply understand what makes experiences intuitive, ship products that people tell their friends about, and dive eagerly into everything from interaction design to retention strategy. 

You are driven by impact that isn’t just tangible but meaningful. Helping everyday people build healthy money habits resonates with you; it’s something you believe in and can see yourself working with others to make real. You think helping a family get out of debt, buy their first home, or support their first child to college is a profound responsibility.

That tension between rapid progress and high-stakes responsibility excites you.
