About Casca

Casca is building AGI for banking.

We are replacing 30+ year-old legacy technology with AI-native systems of record that automate 90% of the manual work humans used to have to do.

Our first product is an AI-native Loan Origination System - with a built-in AI Agent, called Sarah. Sarah communicates with small business loan applicants via email or sms, guides them through the application process and prepares the loan file for a human underwriter.

Why? Small businesses are the heart of the American economy and a lot of banks shy away from providing funding because of the manual effort in pursuing those deals. With us, that changes and unlocks affordable, quick bank funding for the 30M+ small businesses in the US as opposed to the high interest rates from online lenders.

Who are we?

  • All-Stanford Founding team
  • Industry experts that have grown banking software companies to $150M+ in ARR
  • We are a fun group of former competitive athletes and gamers. We like to win and we know that the only thing between us and the title is our own ability to improve every day.

  • Own internal operations spanning executive team coordination and strategic planning processes

  • Partner directly with the CEO on critical operational initiatives including team scaling and process optimization

  • Lead internal projects that drive operational excellence, from implementing new systems to streamlining workflows across all teams

What you bring:

  • 3+ years of management consulting experience at a leading firm (McKinsey, Bain, BCG, etc.) or strategic roles at high-growth tech companies

  • Proven ability to structure complex operational challenges, build scalable processes, and drive execution in fast-paced startup environments

  • Experience managing internal operations, team coordination, or chief of staff responsibilities at high-growth companies

  • Strong analytical skills with ability to work across both quantitative analysis and qualitative strategic thinking

  • Exceptional communication skills and ability to coordinate across all levels of the organization, from individual contributors to executive leadership

Bonus points:

  • Previous founder's office, chief of staff, or CEO assistant experience at a scaling startup

  • Experience building internal operations during rapid team growth (30+ to 200+ employees)

  • Background in fintech, banking, or lending industry

What you'll get:

  • Impact & Ownership : A unique opportunity to shape the future of banking through AI, owning end-to-end product initiatives.

  • Collaborative Environment : Work alongside a talented and passionate team that values continuous improvement and knowledge sharing.

  • Competitive Compensation : Includes salary, benefits, and potential equity in a fast-growing startup.

  • Professional Growth : Access to resources and mentorship to expand your skill set, influence strategy, and accelerate your career.

  • Culture of Innovation : We encourage risk-taking, learning from failures, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in fintech.

As an early-stage company building at the frontier of AI, we work with high intensity and commitment. While schedules can vary by role/team, many weeks will demand extra focus, flexibility and time particularly during major launches and high impact sprints. We're seeking those who are aligned to and able to commit to that expectation which includes 5 days per week in our San Francisco Office.
