Cushion

What We Do

10 years from now, every person will have a smart digital assistant that doesn't just give them suggestions on how to save money or avoid financial mistakes, it will do the work for them.

That's what we're building at Cushion, and we're starting by automating the process of negotiating bank fees and credit card interest for people in the U.S. -- a $200 Billion problem each year.

Cushion was founded at the end of 2016 and is headquartered in San Francisco. The company is backed by Afore Capital, GreenCow Ventures, the founders of companies like NerdWallet, FundingCircle, and Earnest, and other leading investors.

Why Join Us?

This is a rare opportunity to work closely with the founding team, in a fast-paced environment, doing high-impact work that has the potential to help tens of millions of people.

At Cushion, we are obsessed with helping our customers live a better life - and that starts with their financial health. We know that staying on top of your finances is a full-time job and one that most people do not have the time, resources, or know-how to do themselves.

We're a passionate diverse team (that grew up in countries like Lebanon and Russia) working tirelessly to democratize access to financial help - not just financial advice - to make sure that financial security is the norm, and not the exception, in America.

Career Development

We know that Cushion is not the last place you are going to work, and we’re committed to making sure that you get the most out of your time with the company - both personally and professionally. Our Founder feels deeply responsible for up-leveling everyone on the team and putting them on a path to successfully take on whatever challenges they decide to pursue after Cushion - whether that is starting their own company or excelling at a different role somewhere else.
