Job Description:

M1 Finance has created a personal wealth-building platform made for the modern era, uniting personal perspective and automated ease. We seamlessly combine free investing, low cost borrowing and digital checking all in one intuitive, automated Finance Super App, and we're driven by a mission to empower personal financial well-being. We believe that financial well-being is fundamental to overall well-being, and we strive to deliver products that are simpler, smarter, and stronger than those created by our staid, boring, entrenched, slow-moving competitors in the personal finance industry. Our clients have already trusted us with over $2 billion of assets, we're currently helping more than 500,000 people grow and manage their wealth with our industry leading automation and tools, and we're adding thousands of new clients every day.

We mean it when we say. "M1 is yours to build."-- If this sounds interesting to you, we'd love to have you read on.-- What we're looking for We are a team of driven engineers committed to executing a clear and exciting vision. We adopt an iterative approach, believe in continuous improvement, and embrace first-principles thinking.
