Friendlier banking for Canadians.
About Bree
Bree is a consumer finance platform that brings better, faster, and cheaper financial services to over half the Canadian population who live paycheck to paycheck. We operate in a huge, but overlooked market in a country with the least amount of financial technology innovation in the developed world. Our first act is to become the cheapest and best provider of short-term credit to the 20 million people in Canada who live paycheck to paycheck.
More than 600,000 Canadians have already signed up with Bree and we believe we are just scratching the surface. We are in an exciting place where we have product market fit, explosive growth, and a clear path to becoming one of the most important FinTechs in Canada.
We are at 8-figures of annualized revenue, growing double-digit monthly, profitable, and have had zero voluntary employee churn. We were part of Y Combinator in 2021 and raised a $2M seed round shortly after.

- Advocate for our users, especially those navigating financial stress, by simplifying complexity and reducing friction

What We’re Looking For

- Working knowledge of front-end development concepts (e.g. components, state, APIs), and the ability to reason about implementation while designing
Nice to Have
- Experience designing fintech, lending, or other financial products
- Familiarity with mobile-first products and React Native environments
- Experience contributing to or evolving a design system
- Comfort “vibe coding” or prototyping in code when helpful, to explore ideas, validate interactions, or collaborate more closely with engineers
