We are looking for highly motivated individuals who share our belief in mCASH's potential to revolutionize payments, and that have the guts to see that vision through.

mCASH is a startup that integrates with banks, merchants, webshops and apps to allow purchases and person-to-person transfers. Following a successful launch in the Norwegian market last month and a fresh $7.2mm USD in venture capital [1] from Northzone [2] and Entreé Capital [3], we are looking to scale up our team and expand internationally.

There are many small and big projects in our pipeline, and we always strive to improve on what we already have. As a member of our small team you'll have a big impact on the trajectory of mCASH and shaping the company and product as we continue to grow. We're an international team, with seven nationalities represented at the office.

As an mCASH employee, you are passionate about your own field of expertise, yet have the capacity to contribute to all parts of mCASH and are invigorated by the challenges we face.

The cornerstone of mCASH — our payment infrastructure — is built on Python and Google App Engine, and we have launched native apps for iOS and Android. We are in the fortunate position that we get to write bleeding edge payment- and data analysis applications from the ground up — we'd like you to join in and help us!
