Senior Backend Engineer

Hi, we are Appjobs 👋

Founded in 2017, we have helped millions of people find an app or a digital platform to make money. We have become the world's largest community of gig workers along the way. We are a remote-first company (before covid!), and our team members live in 14 countries and counting. This job is an opportunity to join Appjobs hottest team, developing a data-driven product that will change the whole gig-economy landscape!

During our quest to help gig workers, we discovered that these people are tremendously underserved. Applying for insurance or a loan is more often than not a mission impossible scenario. One-size fits all approach is not working for people who are ridesharing, delivering food or groceries, walking dogs, charging scooters, or providing services through freelancing platforms. On the other hand, lenders and insurers lack relevant data about these new job types. Solution? Unveel!

Unveel is the solution for connecting worker payroll accounts with service providers unveiling income and employment data upon worker permission. We provide both real-time and historical data via our SDK. Workers can disconnect their accounts at any time and exercise their GDPR rights.
