About Taktile
Taktileās mission is to help global financial institutions make smarter, safer decisions with the power of AI. In practice, that means Taktile sits behind the moments that matter when money moves: deciding who gets a loan, protecting consumers from fraud, and whether a small business gets the money it needs to hire, invest, and grow. Every day, our customers run millions of these decisions all around the world. When we do our job well, more deserving people and businesses get access to fair financial products, bad actors are stopped earlier, and the financial system becomes a little more efficient with every decision.

Our Stance
Work with colleagues who lift you, challenge you, celebrate you, and help you grow. We come from many different backgrounds, but what we have in common is the desire to operate at the very top of our fields. If you are similarly capable, caring, and driven, you'll find yourself at home here.
We're eager to meet talented and driven candidates regardless of whether they tick all the boxes. We're looking for someone who will add to our culture, not just fit within it. We strongly encourage individuals from groups traditionally underestimated and underrepresented in tech to apply.
We seek to actively recognize and combat racism, sexism, ableism, and ageism. We embrace and support all gender identities and expressions and celebrate love in its many forms. We won't inquire about how you identify, or if you've experienced discrimination, but if you want to tell your story, we are all ears.
