Job Posting Details

About Insikt

Insikt was born out of our realization that banks will not be the lenders of tomorrow – brands will. Traditional banks, saddled with new rules and regulation, are no longer in the business of taking risk and making loans and cannot be relied on to deliver credit access and opportunity to the masses. Instead, tomorrow’s lenders will be media companies, retailers and prominent brands that have deep relationships with their customers and want to step in to help their customers get a fair loan.

Build robust, highly scalable and visible user facing features
Design and develop large scale web applications
Collaborate with other engineers to discuss design and development
