Continuous improvement, experimentation, and a clear mission stretch us individually and together.

We build RESTful API’s using microservices built primarily in Go with some Node.js sprinkled throughout. We are looking for great engineers who know how to build scalable services to help consumers with their financial health and wellness via credit monitoring and identity protection. Interested?
