About the role

We've launched over a dozen credit card programs, including for Coinbase, Bilt, and Qatar Airways.
We help businesses bring imaginative card programs to life, and have pioneered technology to embed credit card features natively into their products.
We value curiosity, humility, and intensity - we move fast and take outsized ownership.

Own full-cycle recruiting across all functions, with a near-term focus on engineering, operations, and GTM.
Build the recruiting function: hiring plan, process, tooling, employer brand, candidate experience - all of it.
Build and lead a lean recruiting team that scales thoughtfully with hiring demand, prioritizing efficiency, strong processes, and clear ownership over simply adding headcount.
Partner with hiring managers to define roles, calibrate on candidates, and close offers.
sourcing, closing, and building a small team to give yourself leverage.
This is a hands-on role - we're not looking for someone who wants to manage from above.
You'll need to push yourself. We're not going to give you a playbook or check in daily to make sure you're on track. You need to be someone who creates their own direction and holds themselves accountable.
We have aggressive goals and a lot to build - this isn't a 9-to-5.
You'll be expected to build out a team, but to give you leverage, not to make you a full-time manager.
