Our core purpose

At Jigsaw XYZ our core mission is to help individuals and small businesses to get access to the products and services they need by building technology that allows everyone to access the best financial products automatically. We want to hear from capable, creative engineers who want to help us accomplish this mission.

At the heart of our vision sits our messaging system, Spoke Marketplace, and our Data Platform, Spoke Customer Enablement Platform. We’re great believers in powerful, real-time analytics and we want to use this data insight to empower the individual to move stagnant money away from their current account into better savings products or allow an individual to get a credit product to move into their current account to stop unfair charges. Every engineer at Jigsaw XYZ is responsible for helping to improve our use of an individual’s data to get them the ‘best’ financial products.
