Project Manager-Janusea

Janusea, Inc. was created to fill a gap in the community financial institution space. Credit Unions and Community Banks need digital, data, blockchain, and fintech solutions, yet new, innovative fintech solutions can’t communicate with core systems. Credit Unions and Community Banks are not development or software companies. Janusea is the connection between these two worlds. Janusea offers a unique turn-key solution that walks Financial Institutions through implementation, ensuring a speedy, successful, and secure integration.

With Janusea, FinTech's don't have to write multiple legacy systems, and Financial Institutions don't have to re-implement legacy connections for new solutions. Janusea unlocks the core and enables a true partnership between FinTech's and Community Financial organizations. Janusea brings value to both worlds and evens the playing field, allowing solutions and FIs to work together.

At Janusea, we are passionate about helping Financial Institutions (FIs) succeed. We lead with integrity and foster a community of passionate and driven professionals who exhibit exemplary character. Are you an enthusiastic team player who wishes to join a talented team? If so, you are in the right place to inquire about this exciting opportunity.
