In collaboration with Microsoft Research, we are developing a data-driven lending platform catered towards the needs of “emerging markets” users. The complete platform has various components, all working in tandem to provide a “comfortable” loan journey for our borrowers by working on increasing their ability to earn more as well as improving their willingness to repay. As someone joining the technology team, you’ll have the chance to experience and lead efforts into scaling the existing systems to thousands of users across India and outside. You’ll also get a chance to learn the various nuances of working in the domain of finance and sustainable technology development.

We are looking for outstanding engineers to assist building up the core components as well as designing new components. Knowledge of existing technologies is preferred, but ultimately, we are looking for individuals with a growth mindset, willing to learn and contribute to their growth and the growth of their peers.

Our lending model has been identified as one of the most innovative in global south by the Climate Finance Lab and we have raised seed funds from global Angel investors to scale our operations.
