Nova Credit

Remote job description

At Nova Credit, our mission is to power a more fair and inclusive financial system for the world. If you have no credit, it can take years to build that up, even if your financial situation shows that you have the ability to take on risks. In the US, that accounts for almost 20% of the adult population, including 11% which are completely "credit invisible". This directly affects this population's ability to qualify for student loans, apartment leases, car financing, and anything else requiring a credit score.

We're building a data analytics platform on top of bank transaction data that enables lenders to evaluate credit-worthiness based on a person's most up-to-date financial situation, opening up opportunities and financial flexibility for all parties. We are backed by leading investors including Kleiner Perkins, General Catalyst, and Index Ventures.

Nova credit's interview process

  • Step 1: The phone screen gives us a chance to learn more about you, your goals, and your interests. It's also a chance for you to learn about us and get answers to your questions.
  • Step 2: The technical assessment (a one-hour coding challenge) is intended to give you a taste of what you'll be doing at Nova Credit. We avoid asking algorithmic questions, so you can expect to be asked to complete more practical tasks, such as working with an existing API, parsing JSON responses, or building a UI component.
  • Step 3: The final round will give you the opportunity to meet additional engineers, have a conversation with your potential manager, and expose you to the Nova Credit culture. It is broken down into three one-hour technical sessions (coding challenges/systems design sessions) and a forty-five minute chat with the hiring manager.

Everyone is welcome at Nova Credit. We are an equal opportunity employer where our diversity and inclusion are central pillars to our company strategy. We look for applicants who understand, embrace and thrive in a multicultural and increasingly globalized world. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
