Work Location: Menlo Park, CA

Who Are We?

We are the partner of choice to the 23 million underbanked Hispanics in the
United States who need access to responsible and empowering financial
products and services. Unlike mainstream institutions, we provide loans
without collateral to clients who lack credit history by using its
sophisticated risk-scoring system that emphasizes a client's true capacity
to afford a loan. we engage with customers in their neighborhoods, in their
language, and with familiar faces from the community to build relationships
of trust that lead to a lifetime of growth and prosperity.

We are a for-profit institution that believes in the moral collateral of
its clients and is committed to providing opportunities to help its clients
achieve their dreams. Since its founding in 2005, the company has made more
than 350,000 loans, extending $900 million in capital to underserved
Hispanic families through more than 90 locations across California,
Illinois and
Texas and helping improve credit scores for more than 87 percent of its
loan customers. We strongly believe in building a great business while also
achieving social good, and seek to hire people who share our values.

The Opportunity...

Our customers have not been understood by big banks or allowed entry into
the mainstream financial market. As a consequence, we can't use traditional
tools because there simply aren't any that serve these customers.
Therefore, we need a team of talented engineers who dream of data, simple
user experiences and the endless possibility of applying new tech to build
the algos and internal / consumer facing platform to enable socially
responsible lending practices -- from scratch.
