A NOTE FROM THE HIRING MANAGER
The founders.
Kyle and Stephen are world-class operators who brought the experimentation culture from Uber and applied it to a lending business in Mexico. The result after years of compounding is incredible; it must be near the top of its vintage (2019) for lending fintechs. The founders are kind, honest, hard-driving, paranoid (about risk!), pragmatic, intelligent, insanely hard-working, and never satisfied. I trust them with some of the best years of my career.
Unit economics and product-market fit.
You cannot operate at our revenue run rate and be profitable on a net basis without the unit economics being solid, and without customers actually liking the product.
We have a senior and technical team, and a performance culture. This isn't financial advice, but I'll be honest, I'm excited about the value of my equity. Come build with the team and I!
