Dave is a banking app on a mission to build products that level the financial playing field. To date, we've helped more than 11 million customers bank, budget, avoid overdraft fees, find work, and build credit—and we're just getting started. We believe in a world where everyone has access to financial opportunity and the ability to reach their personal financial goals. With a growing suite of tools and services, we provide a superior banking experience for anyone living paycheck to paycheck.

As a virtual-first company, there is no preference on where we get our work done. You are able to live anywhere in the United States, with the exception of Hawaii.

Overall, we are focused on building a high quality, high performance team vs. a large team. This is especially true for our design organization. We are looking for strong team contributors who are (also) interested in being a formative part of our company culture moving forward. 

The Design team works across many types of initiatives at Dave—from customer acquisition programs and our website, to enterprise dashboards product experiences, design systems and toolkit, and qualitative and quantitative research. Enabling our customer to live their best lives is at the core of all of our work, small and large.
