- We have a strong preference for team players that are comfortable collaborating across teams, know how to support strategy with ML and AI powered user experiences, can deliver scalable and high quality user experiences, and understand the effects of their products on end users
Our take
Managing finances has become increasingly difficult in the last couple of decades, despite access to online banking and other financial apps. The mass of subscriptions, standing orders and utility bills the average American is subject to ultimately makes it difficult to assess and manage their finances within one place.
Rocket Money provides a mobile application that includes a variety of tools to simplify financial management. This includes spending analytics and budgeting plans, as well as its popular subscription tracker feature, which makes it easy to visualise subscriptions and cancel any unwanted ones.
Nowadays, there seems to be an app for just about every form of financial management, but Rocket Money has unified everything into a single app. It continues to launch new features, expanding from financial management into more direct financial tools such as utility bill comparison services, autopilot saving and paycheck advance loans.
