The work is varied, from creating new products and features to improving existing functionality, we strive to build a better customer experience and a better codebase. This is real growth at pace.

The codebase is written in Swift and we are migrating to React Native; we release every two weeks using Fastlane, and yet, we still have an appetite for so much more.
