PROJECT
Meet a cutting edge German startup, dedicated to creating unique next-generation corporate credit cards for small and medium businesses. The idea is to combine state-of-the-art features and usability with flexible and competitively priced payment, liquidity and financing solutions.

Thus, a customer company will be able to issue multiple cards, both physical and virtual, to their employees, assign flexible limits and spending rules and get a great overview of their card expenses. The card setup will fit in with the company’s existing expense management and accounting processes through a multitude of useful integrations with respective providers. On top of that, the company can adjust their payment terms on an as-needed basis. Financing decisions will be made based on an automated risk decision engine fed with bank account data, digitized financial statements, and further data points from external data providers.

Now, we’re looking for a talented engineer, to build a modern payments and lending platform from scratch. We’re focused on employing the best engineering practices to develop stable, scalable and maintainable software. We are believers of “You build it, you run it” approach and are serious about providing the best engineering experience for our team. You are just in time to help us make it true!
