So who exactly is Prive looking for and what is their next stage in their company progression?

Prive is looking to enter the next generation of its technology.

When first starting out, Prive sought to understand what clients need and develop something specific for them that can be put out into the market quickly. Now they are looking to elevate their technology to a completely new level and really focus on becoming a highly customised wealth management service platform.

Prive needs top talent!

To achieve this illustrious goal, Prive is looking for top talent to become creative leads and implement their vision and this could be you! They have positions open in various different departments and positions: from infrastructure to development and quality assurance. No matter if you are a software engineer, prefer a more HR role, or are looking for internships, Prive has the openings for you.

And if you weren’t excited enough, here are several interesting projects that Prive is currently developing which you might get the chance to work on and add your vision:

Building customisation hooks

After learning from their previous products and technology, Prive now understands where best to build customisation hooks into their products to improve their functionality without making the product seem more superficial. However, this requires a lot of technical skills that without you cannot be brought into reality.

Combining product data and real-world data

In order to increase their support for the wealth advisor Prive wants to be able to combine data mined from the product and external data to create more robust proposals through automation and better inform their customers. This reflects their company vision: to help everyone gain equal access to wealth management regardless of their background. This is only possible if wealth management becomes cheaper as a result of greater technological support, which you can have a hand in developing!
