Uplift Financial (Cogo Labs) | UI Designer | Cambridge (Boston), MA | Full Time | Onsite

The world of consumer finance is complex and poorly understood. Uplift Financial simplifies the process of making better financial decisions. Today, our focus is helping consumers find credit products that actually help them get on the right track - no payday loans here. As we grow, we'll be adding new product categories until we're a trusted advisor for every decision in our users' financial lives.

In this role, you're going to own Uplift's visual brand. You'll be solidifying and refining Uplift's visual identity across our various products and traffic channels, ensuring that our engineering team has the guidance it needs to build modern and consistent user interfaces. Additionally, you'll work hand-in-hand with analytics and engineering to recommend UI improvements across our full user journey from email outreach to funded loan, increasing user satisfaction as well as our financial performance.

Incubating at Cogo Labs (www.cogolabs.com), we're a team of engineers, analysts, and managers, working in a rapidly-growing market with the support of Cogo Labs' engineering and business expertise.

To all would be appliers, Cogo is a company whose soul mission is to send spam. All of it's companies are just forks of this. You are warned that the work you do for low pay might be trying to fraud people.


After 5 years, I've seen my fair share of both good and bad here, but this statement is objectively incorrect.

Cogo has pretty a impressive mix of entrepreneurial and engineering talent that I'm excited to work with every day. If you want to know more, you can always reach me directly at derek@cogolabs.com.


> this statement is objectively incorrect

If you're looking to be technically right, then you picked an easy spot. Your own employees call you a spam company. Out of respect for them, maybe you can loosen your interpretation enough to respond to their concerns.

I sent you an email, but it's not fair for you to attempt to move the spotlight off of these boards. You are advertising jobs to people here. The claim is that successful candidates will be building tools for spamming and for circumventing spam filters if they work for you.


If anyone is wondering about an update, I have not received a response since I emailed Derek two nights ago.


Wow! You aren't kidding. Why does Hacker News grant advertising space for this spam company?


Uplift Financial (inbcubating at Cogo Labs) | Front-End Engineer | Cambridge/Boston, MA | ONSITE, FULL-TIME, VISA

The world of consumer finance is complex and poorly understood. Uplift Financial simplifies the process of making better financial decisions. Today, our focus is helping consumers find credit products that actually help them get on the right track - no payday loans here. As we grow, we'll be adding new product categories until we're a trusted advisor for every decision in our users' financial lives.

We're looking for a front-end engineer to help us build and optimize elegant and usable interfaces to connect our users to these products. Our sites are built with Django (Python) on the back-end and, for now, fairly simple HTML/CSS/JS up front. If you have strong opinions about how we could make things better, we want to hear from you.

We're housed in Cogo Labs, an incubator with 10+ years' experience building businesses on the web, including EverQuote (IPO), Autotegrity (acquired, ADP), and CourseAdvisor (acquired, WaPo). Cogo's founders were early investors in other Boston success stories like TripAdvisor and CarGurus. Learn more at www.cogolabs.com
