Android Developer - AI Finance Agent

About Us

Our mission is to make money smart, reliable, and within reach for everyone. In 2019, we built the first mobile-first insurance platform, enabling insurance to be accessible online by millions in the region. Today, it's the leading insurance platform in Southeast Asia. We are expanding ways to help people in Asia with spending, saving, investing, exchanging, traveling, and more. Our objective is to build tools that will help people get more from their money with ease and self-reliance, becoming experts. We believe AI will help us achieve this in our generation.

We are looking for the most talented and driven people who work for their passion, not counting hours. People who love building great next-generation products, not maintaining the status quo. Those who care about redefining how everyone can access the best financial applications, not just an exclusive few. Our teams work around the world, with over 20 nationalities, from our offices and remotely.
