  Upgrade the world to a better financial system
  
  The way people use and think about money is constantly evolving.The existing financial system was built for a non-digital age, ignoring the needs of the modern individual with many inefficiencies and gatekeepers. We now have technologies that are reimagining how to move money cheaper, faster and safer, cutting out unnecessary intermediaries and accruing all this value back to consumers.
  
  Cryptocurrencies facilitate decentralised, interoperable products and services with a good balance between transparency and privacy, and improved user experiences. Like communication evolving from landlines to mobile phones, money is finally catching up with the information revolution.We believe in leveraging technology to make a meaningful and long-term positive impact on people, no matter who or where they’re from.
  
  Upgrading people’s lives
  
  Money that becomes intelligent and programmable creates a fairer financial system providing more financial freedom overall. Upgrading will empower billions of people, ultimately lowering their cost of living, providing improved economic opportunities, easier access to the existing global online economy, and increasing the value retention of their wealth. This inevitable transition to a new financial system requires safe products and services.
  
  Luno’s Technology
  
  We’re hiring software engineers to join us on our mission to upgrade the world to a better financial system. Our technology roadmap has agile teams or ‘pods’, each focused on exciting functional business area projects.
  
  Some of our pods: Website, Fraud & Compliance, Shield, Cryptosec, and Payments. Our stack: Go, Angular, TypeScript, Kotlin, Docker, Kubernetes, and lots of AWS products.

  Curve

  Curve is ‘connecting money’ by creating an over-the top interface, streaming the way you spend, send, see and save money. The beauty of it is that it does not require you to displace money. Instead it connects all your money into one interface with Read/Write permissions.
  
  The Curve card, powered by the Curve app, allows customers to add all their debit and credit cards into one Mastercard, helping the user manage their money in a whole new way. Users get instant notifications on all their spend, get no currency exchange fees abroad, see all their spend in one place and can switch which card they wish to use for payments, even after completing a purchase. Since launching out of its first Beta in February 2016, the Curve community has swelled to nearly 500,000 customers, growing 40% month-on-month.

  Having been active in the London Go community for the last couple of years, sponsoring Gophercon seemed a no-brainer. We partner with some of London’s most innovative companies in their search for Gophers.
