Job Posting for Senior Financial API Engineer at MaxRewards
About MaxRewards
MaxRewards makes personal finance more rewarding. We are on a mission to enrich the lives and finances of billions by unlocking the max potential of every financial decision.
Today, we build an app that helps people manage their credit cards, monitor their credit scores and maximize their rewards, cash back and benefits. Our users earn in excess of a $1,000 in rewards and cash back every year, simply by optimizing their payment method.
Our vision is to create the financial hub that aggregates all financial and pseudo-financial accounts (e.g. Starbucks) in one place and unlocks their max benefits through continuous automation and proactive recommendations.
