Intelletec has partnered with a pioneering Fintech start up that is seeking a Head of Engineering to join their growing team in New York! 

The client has a fundamentally different approach to the traditional credit card issuers focus on passively predicting risk based on customers’ past while competing on marginal differences in rewards and perks.

With their “Dynamic Upgrade” feature, they enable credit card issuers (credit unions, community banks and fintechs) to give customers better limits and interest rates automatically as they meet prescribed financial Goals. Dynamic Upgrade gamifies the financial improvement process - customers have clear actions to take and tangible incentives for doing so. We’re installing greater financial education, motivation and customer control in credit products. For the credit card issuer, Dynamic Upgrade helps drive (healthy) card utilization, risk reduction and growth - a win-win situation.

The co-founders previously worked at Credit Suisse and Alphabet and the company was incubated at Columbia Business School. Come join us to revolutionize the customer experience of credit products!
