- **Deepen wealth management** – add more asset classes and long‑term savings tools
- **Maintain a lean, high‑impact team** – “small teams with the best talent outcompete massive companies”

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: “Long‑term ambition and absolute conviction”; “nimble, but ambitious” – the careers page describes a mission‑driven, execution‑focused environment
- **Team & autonomy**: Small teams own meaningful product areas; high ownership and rapid iteration
- **Remote/office**: Not explicitly stated, but likely hybrid or remote‑friendly given the global nature of the business
- **Notable**: Founders and early employees have built profitable products at iconic companies; strong emphasis on “world‑class in everything we do”
