For the consumer they make sure they get the best offer with the best possible terms since they work with 25-35 banks in each market.

• Balances technical excellence with delivery velocity - knows when good enough ships faster and when quality debt is dangerous in a financial product

• Committed to continuous learning: the AI tooling landscape changes weekly; adaptability is required
