We’re here to introduce the world to Bitcoin. Fold makes it easy to earn bitcoin, instead of airline miles and hotel points, on everyday purchases via our mobile app and the Fold Visa Debit Card.

  • Participate in daily scrums, weekly planning and other Agile/team driven activities
  • Build web applications, mobile applications, transactional systems, 3rd party integrations, internal tools, and all other systems required for the operations of the products

Why We’ll Love You

  • With best practices for product development across various methodologies, including Agile, Kanban and Lean UX
