Fintech Engineer
Apply NowCompany: Kash
Location: Toronto, ON M4E 3Y1
Description:
OUR MISSION:
Money is broken. We're fixing it.
Credit cards are an invention of the 1950s. Every payment 'innovation' since then has been built on top of antiquated architecture that taxes both consumers and businesses alike. It involves far too many middlemen, each of which takes their cut. The end result is that payments 'technology' ends up being a tax on everyone and everything. So we're fixing it. Come chat with us if this sounds like a worthy cause.
Kash is a Y Combinator company. The Former CEO of Visa is the chair of our board. We have a diverse team of people with complementary skills. Our team includes people from Microsoft, OANDA, Morgan Stanley, Amazon, and YC alum. We have offices in San Francisco, Waterloo and Toronto.
