Full-time
Mos is on a mission to tear down financial barriers to opportunity. We built the first banking product designed not to manage student debt - but to eliminate it. And we’re just getting started. We’re shipping fast, growing rapidly, and backed on our quest by world-class investors like Sequoia, Lux Capital, Stephen Curry, and more. You can learn more about our culture and what it's like to work at Mos here.
We ranked #1 in the “Finance” (and #3 overall) in the App Store on our launch week. Our software engineers make this happen and are driven to ship revolutionary features for our students, working collaboratively with the rest of the company. We’re an early-stage startup relying on smart, motivated individuals (like yourself =)) to help shape the financial future of the next generation!
We are remote-friendly within the United States and have an office in San Francisco.
