What the job involves

- Develop using a modern, open source stack: You will develop on top of a software stack that includes Scala + Play and interact with data by building both REST API and GraphQL endpoints.

Our take
Analyzing and utilizing huge data sets is a laborious process for investors and the consumer lending industry. Sifting through databases with tens of thousands of cells is already tedious, and the analysis of international data through archaic technology presents further complications.
dv01 believes these challenges have the potential to result in a financial endemic. It aims to solve it through end-to-end data management, reporting, and analytic solutions designed bespoke for mortgage and consumer lending markets.
Whilst there are competitors offering similar, individual services in this space, dv01 stands out by providing an end-to-end platform. This has been successful in attracting over 400 companies including Redwood Trust, Lending Club, and Western Asset.
