**Why should you join us**:

- We’re a purpose-driven high-growth start-up as we change the way people invest
- Our team is awesome. Not just as people but because we bring together experience from some of the fastest-growing and most successful start-ups in Australia
- More development than you can poke a stick at (It comes with the territory of being onboard a rocket ship)
- A flexible environment that understands the best people have busy lives outside of work
- Opportunities to learn more about investing in six months, than you would from 10 years of reading books.

**+ There are perks**
- Flexibility first - we all have rich and full lives outside of work that matters too
- Learning and training budget - keep learning and growing
- Team events - some involve the snow, some involve gym gear and some just involve eating - there's something for everyone
- Snacks, drinks, a ping pong table (because that matters.. right?)
