Dreams is challenging the fundamental idea of how banking is experienced by people every day. We're currently changing the landscape of personal savings by combining behavioural economics, findings from cognitive behavioral therapy, a tight user experience with technology.

We're a mixed bunch of around 30 people: developers, behavioral scientists, data scientists and pretty much everything in between. Oddly enough, we only have one ex-banker involved in the mix – casual dresscode all week long :)

You will be working with our existing platform, ultimately helping people learn how to best realize their own dreams. In a nutshell, how they spend less on crap and channel those savings into things dreams are made of. It's pretty awesome.

The tooling we use vary from component to component as the architecture is by design built to support multiple languages and platforms. Today, we like using Ruby, NodeJS and Elixir – constantly looking for even better tools for solving problems. Bringing your own knowledge and experience into the mix is highly encouraged.

Feeling intrigued? Ping didde@getdreams.com or come by for a fika (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fika_(Sweden)). We would love to learn more about you!
