Job Description

WHO WE ARE

Discover is more than a credit card. At its core, Discover is a software company. Our customers demand products that help them spend smarter and achieve a brighter financial future. These products are built and supported by our software teams. We have fun at work and live these values:

* One customer. The person using the product is who matters.
* Teams get it done. You won't be sitting in a corner on your own - it's a collective effort.
* Seek to understand. Listen first, ask why, and then reach a conclusion.
* Progress over perfection. Try new ideas and be comfortable with failing fast.
* No spectators. Expect to tackle tough problems and to challenge the status quo.
