- What are your expectations for this role?

- How do you make sure that your team has a healthy team culture?

- How would you handle a conflict arising from cultural and personality differences within the team?

- Our team receives on average 2000 emails per week, but processes 1800 emails weekly. Additionally, the team has a backlog of 500 emails that is carried over from week to week. What are your plans to come out of this backlog trend on a short term basis and to avoid it altogether in the long term?

We’re people without borders — without judgement or prejudice, too. We want to work with the best people, no matter their background. So if you’re passionate about learning new things and keen to join our mission, you’ll fit right in.

Also, qualifications aren’t that important to us. If you’ve got great experience, and you’re great at articulating your thinking, we’d like to hear from you.

And because we believe that diverse teams build better products, we’d especially love to hear from you if you’re from an under-represented demographic.

For everyone, everywhere. We're people building money without borders — without judgement or prejudice, too. We believe teams are strongest when they are diverse, equitable and inclusive.

We're proud to have a truly international team, and we celebrate our differences.
