Our Journey at Keep
At Keep, we embarked on a mission started by a powerful question: Why hasn't the banking experience caught up with the rapid pace of technology?
This continues to fuel our passion for reshaping the Canadian fintech landscape. We provide businesses with a comprehensive suite of cross-border banking services, offering everything from credit cards to deposit accounts, currency conversions, and revenue financing.
With a team of seasoned global startup veterans with successful exits, Keep is committed to leading the charge as Canada's next-generation fintech institution. Backed by VCs in the fintech sector, we're racing ahead, expanding our reach and impact like never before.
Engineering at Keep ?
We believe a lot in experimentation, so part of our engineering process is to build good problem statements and hypotheses before jumping into coding. As an Engineering Manager for our team, you will become a big influence on how we plan, prioritize, and execute our product roadmap, while you grow our engineers to a set of excellence.
Also, as a startup, our only advantage is the velocity with which we can move, that's why we try to not over-engineer our systems, so our solutions might be simple today but we always keep an eye on the near future. We have made some mistakes along the way but we learn from them and adjust real fast.
Our team is full of folks with high emotional intelligence. We do not believe in a culture with folks working in silos. We encourage people to work together as much as they feel like, enabling pair programming sessions within and across teams, coordinating All Hands meetings every two weeks with awesome presentations from the team, and building a culture where everyone feels they belong to the team. We will always listen to what you have to say.
