ORGANISATION
Legacy out. Agility in. It is the only way forward for the financial industry and the driving principle behind Ohpen: a ruthlessly effective, cloud-based core banking engine. Built by former retail bankers to administer retail investment and savings accounts, Ohpen liberates banks from their legacy systems andprocesses.
Can you understand why we prefer being featured as the new kids on the core banking engine block in Forbes rather than publish yet another whitepaper? Are you too edgy and high energy for traditional corporate environments? Do you want to shout out to the world about a scale-up FinTech instead of a start-up Fintech? Then you’d join us to work on the most exciting chapter of our journey.
Now hold your horses for a moment and answer this: Is core-banking and fintech sexy? It might not be sexy, but it is very hot and it’s your job to make it so. We have a great story to tell, and your mission is to formulate it and place it in front of to the right audience—whatever it takes.
We have spent the last years overhauling all core banking processes, coded them all over again and deployed them in the cloud. By doing so we have effectively created the world’s first cloud-based core banking engine. And now we want you to let the world know about it.
For Ohpen we are looking for a:
