Contract / Full-time
Dallas, TX / Remote
3+ years
Hi there, we're Otto, and we are changing the way people finance their daily lives.
As you're reading this, 1 in 4 people in the U.S. lacks access to affordable credit and resorts to using high interest, predatory loans (think: Payday, Title, Pawn, and Personal Loans) to make ends meet. These 300%+ APR short term loans trap borrowers in a downward debt spiral and severely limit their chances for getting ahead.
Leveraging modern technology, we are building the world's first asset-backed revolving credit product that makes lending decisions agnostic of credit score and delivers standard interest credit card through a simple mobile platform. We are unlocking the value trapped within the $3 trillion worth of vehicles owned outright in the United States to provide sustainable credit for those that need it most.
We are backed by leading VCs, accomplished entrepreneurs, respected philanthropists, and founders from across the U.S. Our backers are the minds and investors behind the success of the Apple Card, Dave, Scribd, Parse, Twitch, Substack, Notion, LinkedIn, among others.
We have built and scaled a $100m+ ARR business, worked on apps used by millions of people for national brands, and fostered multi-million dollar public private partnerships. We are poised to fundamentally change the way tens of millions of Americans use credit to improve their daily lives.
This is an exciting opportunity to join an early stage startup working to democratize access to affordable credit in an industry with over $1 trillion dollars in annual transaction flow.
As the first Backend Engineer at Otto, you will work directly with the co-founders (CEO, CTO, CPO) to develop a mobile lending platform.
You will be working directly at the infrastructure layer, interacting with card networks & banks to help build our own processing stack.
This is a senior level role with competitive salary and equity incentives. While we are headquartered in Dallas, TX, this role can be performed remotely. We can setup a multi-round interview process or start on a contract basis in the next 1-2 weeks. Assuming a mutual fit, we will offer a full-time role.
