"We have a slight laughable lawsuit recently from some company ironically called Nikola. Nikola is suing Tesla. That's hilarious. Fate loves irony. But they're suing us because the way the trucks look, which is absurd. Nobody's buying a Semi truck because the way it looks, or because going to wraparound windshield or whatever. Please."

When we reported the issue we were basically told they would be delivered eventually. No offer to migrate our traffic or to compensate us in any way.

(February 2016)"]]>Chaser | London, UK | Engineering | Full-time | ONSITE

We’re an early stage fintech company tackling the huge issue of late payment for goods and services sold on credit: boosting our customers’ cashflow and saving time and money spent on manual credit control. SMEs in the UK alone are owed £55bn in unpaid invoices, which we’re helping get paid on time. In the last 12 months we’ve built a market-leading product, raised money from some highly-respected investors and been named of the 50 most innovative new businesses in the UK.

We're hiring for a wide-ranging software engineering role (mainly full-stack JavaScript development) but we're more interested in finding the right person than requiring specific skills. You’ll be joining a small but ambitious team in a great working environment. If you're looking for influence, autonomy and real problems to solve within a fast growing company then please check http://chaser.io/jobs and then drop us a message. Thanks!
