More about WalletHub

WalletHub is a high-growth fintech company based in Washington, D.C. that is looking for talented, hard-working individuals to help us reshape personal finance. More specifically, we are harnessing the power of data analytics and artificial intelligence to build the brain of a smart financial advisor, whose services we're offering to everyone for free. The WalletHub brain enables users to make better financial decisions in a fraction of the time with three unique features:

1) Customized Credit-Improvement Tips: WalletHub identifies improvement opportunities and guides you through the necessary corrections.

2) Personalized Money-Saving Advice: WalletHub's savings brain constantly scours the market for load-lightening opportunities, bringing you only the best deals.

3) Wallet Surveillance: Personal finance isn't as scary with 24/7 credit monitoring providing backup, notifying you of important credit-report changes.

In addition to the valuable intelligence the brain provides, WalletHub is the first and only service to offer free credit scores and full credit reports that are updated on a daily basis absent of user interaction, rather than weekly or monthly and only when a user logs in. Some other services hang their hats on free credit scores and reports, yet they're still inferior to what WalletHub considers minor pieces to a much larger puzzle.

How to apply

To get our attention, all you need to do is apply and include your updated CV (mentioning how many years of experience you have writing your own scripts for checking and monitoring vulnerabilities).
If we believe that you will be a good match, we'll contact you to arrange the next steps of the application process.
