40% of Americans are unable to come up with $400 in an emergency, yet the average household spends $640/year on the lottery, despite the lottery being the worst economic value proposition there is. Why does this dichotomy exist? Because playing the lottery is instantly gratifying and saving isn't.

We are making saving money instantly gratifying so that people can get the long term benefit. Our first product is Yotta Savings, a savings account that gives savers the chance to win exciting prizes on a weekly basis through a gamified sweepstakes.

With over $75 million in deposits and growing fast, Yotta is fundamentally changing people's relationship with their bank and helping thousands of happy customers make smarter financial choices.

As an early employee you would have the opportunity to shape key technical and product decisions for the bank of the future. Banking is one of the last industries to be disrupted by technology so there will be no shortage of hard problems to solve as we grow.

Our prize-linked savings app is built with React Native on the front-end and Node.js and Postgres hosted on AWS on the back-end. An ideal candidate would have experience with these technologies, as well as an eye for design (users LOVE the app, check out our reviews on the App Store). That being said, there are no strict requirements for this job other than having a strong technical background and the entrepreneurial drive to build a huge company from the ground up.
