• Work on features that will provide financial funding to the customers e.g., the planning of when funding should be made and the tracking of it
• Work on features that help our internal operations keep track of our funding portfolio, e.g. portfolio monitoring and alerting tools
• You work closely together with our UX, backend, data, and product teams. You will have to make sure that the needs of the frontend are properly represented on any feature you work on

What Will You Work On 😎

At re:cap we have multiple products that combine into one, the Capital OS, you will work on this in general:

• The insights product: Customers connect various data sources to us e.g. bank accounts, invoices, business plans, we bring these into a structured format and calculate metrics and series on them.
• The funding product: We give out loans to customers. For this, we give them an automatic rating based on their business type and the calculated insights. We generate forecasts and scenarios with the customer and guide them through them. Everything is tracked, so that we and the customer know where they are on the created scenarios and if an adjustment is necessary.
• The accounting product: To achieve the “everything financial in one place”, we offer things like preparatory bookkeeping and, in general, build various workflows for the customer to manage their finances automatically e.g., by categorizing their invoices and automatically adjusting forecasts according to them.
