• You’ll understand the reasons behind problematic payments and customer difficulties and how to solve them.
• You’ll raise the automation level to enable scaling of the product.
• You’ll understand our customers and the impact our product makes in their lives.
• You’ll help us scale‑up and build a world‑class money transfer product by finding solutions to our technical challenges and opportunities.

What you get back:

• The empowerment to solve problems your way.
• The freedom to have real impact.
• Loads of development opportunities.
• Deep knowledge about the world’s financial system.
• A fun work environment with social activities and events.
• The opportunity to work with super smart people in a truly diverse team.
