Working on a modern finance product comes with its unique set of challenges. Operating in a heavily regulated domain with many moving pieces, we partner with high quality vendors that enable us to offer services like deposit accounts and debit cards. This means we must build our systems with redundancy to third party risk. Simultaneously, being an innovative financial product there are many different elements of the stack we must build ourselves, especially on the rewards side of things — this gives us creative freedom to offer a highly differentiated product.
