We are an organization that strongly believes in fostering talents and providing them with the freedom to excel in a manner that they see fit. There are no daily required meetings or lengthy Zoom video calls. You will take full responsibility to manage your own time and structure your own work the way you see fit.
The core of your daily work is to distill down highly complex research topics from the Bitcoin space into short and clear articles and prepare them for a B2C audience. The number of articles is between 2-5 articles per day. The basis for your articles is prepared by analysts, you must be able to understand this input and be able to clearly write.
Benefits & Compensation
Numbrs pays in the top 10% of the industry based on Switzerland rates. Same position, same pay, no matter where you live.
Our benefits support a life well-lived away from work. Ample time off and all the resources you need to support you in doing the best work of your career. All we ask is a reasonable 8-hour day and 40-hour work week, and we’ll stay out of your way so you can do the best work of your career.

More about Mission Lane:
Mission Lane is based in the U.S., with offices in Richmond, Virginia & San Francisco, California. Founded in December 2018, we’ve rapidly grown to almost 2 million customers.
It all started with a realization: nearly fifty percent of the adult population in the U.S. doesn’t have access to a clear line of credit. And by clear we mean credit without crazy fees that only increase debt. Most traditional credit card companies either overlook or overcharge this group because they have less-than-prime credit scores or no score at all. We decided this just wouldn’t do.
We understand that everyone doesn’t have the same opportunities. We also know that everyone joins us at different stages of their financial journeys. Providing access to clear credit was a critical first step, but our work isn’t done. We are actively developing new products designed to meet our customers where they are, according to their needs.
We get it – life happens. That’s why Mission Lane is hard at work paving a better way forward.
Just like for our customers, Mission Lane creates opportunities for our employees to learn, grow, and prosper. We strive to create an environment that brings out the best in everyone, everyday.
