Small business lender GetCapital has joined the Tech Council of Australia.
Over the last seven years, GetCapital’s technology teams have developed proprietary platforms that help businesses trade, pay and access funds over the last seven years.
Jamie Osborn, chief executive officer of GetCapital, said that the company will have expanded its technology team by over 50% by the end of the year.
“We’re keen to work as part of a council of industry leaders and challengers to find ways to overcome the hurdles of talent attraction and retention, which – while not new problems – have been exacerbated by the pandemic,” Osborn said.
With this growth, the company will be able to enhance its digital credit and payment solutions even more, according to Eldar Averdi, chief technology officer of GetCapital.
“Our current recruitment focus is on scaling up on engineering, product and UX teams as we further build out our customer and broker platforms and evolve our bank-end tech stack,” Averdi said.
As part of the Tech Council of Australia, GetCapital will work with matters ranging from regulation to research to development incentives.
“The Australian tech sector is full of potential and we’re pleased to be working with some of its best and brightest to realise that potential,” Osborn said.
