• Growing fast – lots of interesting challenges and plenty of untapped business opportunities.

• Because we deal with people's money, any outside tech we use needs to go through a long security review process. Often, we end up building things ourselves that already exist as external products because it's easier than getting them approved.

Stay developer-focused! Stay focused on simplicity! As we try to accommodate a larger variety of customers and use-cases, we need to remember that what made us successful was how simple we were for developers to use.
