Osper’s vision is to empower
young people to be confident. We put this at the heart of everything we
do and with that in mind we’re looking for positive, forward-thinking
people who are keen to build an experience that can make a real
difference to young people’s lives.
Currently, we help
children manage over £2m of spend a month; a child receives money on
Osper every 4 seconds across the UK; and over 87% of parents using Osper
say their children are more confident with money thanks to Osper.
We
are a small team, which means you will have the opportunity to make a
huge impact on the way we work as a team. You will be involved in all
aspects of designing and deploying banking services for young kids,
working in a truly agile and collaborative manner. Our backend software
engineers are responsible for building the core of Osper, from identity
verification to the APIs powering our mobile app.
You will work on
all the tools used for debit card management, transaction processing,
customer support, fraud detection, and more. The team has built a
flexible platform allowing the integration of a variety of third-party
services helping us release products and services in a quicker and more
effective manner. We are a small team and we expect you'll have a big
impact.
