Hi, I'm Yao, Director of Engineering at Moves. I am looking for a Growth Engineer to join our team who will help us continue to build our product, Moves (movesfinancial.com).
Here’s the TL;DR on Moves
We believe that work is changing from one-to-one relationships between employees and employers to a “one-to-many.” Where individuals earn income and build experience across multiple units of work, projects, tasks or gigs from various companies, collectives, apps or marketplaces. This transition challenges many of the status quo systems, processes and regulations that have been built around employment and employers, which is causing immense friction and gaps in certain parts of the economy undergoing this shift. Today, this transition is rapidly underway in retail and transportation through the rise of ‘gig apps’ like Uber, Doordash, Grab and Amazon Flex. Millions of independent contractors in the U.S. earning income from these apps exist on the edge of traditional financial services, and operate independently without the benefits provided by collective and group representation and services.
Moves’ mission is to improve the collective financial health of independent workers by providing products designed for the way they work and by bringing them together on a common platform to voice, engage and create better outcomes for all. By joining Moves you’re not just joining a company, you’re building a movement.
