UI/UX Design Lead

Background

Sidecar’s mission is to democratize access to private equity and venture capital investments. These types of investments are typically reserved exclusively for pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and ultra-high-net-worth individuals. At Sidecar, we aim to change that by enabling individual investors globally access to best-in-class alternative assets.

We have raised a seed round, have a functioning product, and a top private equity firm as our first paying customer (a global firm with $75 Billion in assets under management). Now, we are getting ready to scale.

We are looking for people with a passion for our mission who don’t shy away from a challenge. If you are looking for an opportunity to be a part of shaping the future of a fast-moving Fintech company, build great software from the ground up, and transform an industry, then please get in touch!
