At Para, our mission is to build a better gig economy by giving gig workers the tools they need to support their business, helping them earn more and stress less.

Whether a worker is looking for work, actively optimizing how they spend their time, or trying to understand their financial life, Para synthesizes all the data across various apps to become a personal dispatch system! Come help us build a better working future for the 60 million American gig workers.
The driver tools team focuses on two parts of that goal: helping gig workers optimize how they spend their time and understand their financial life. We run a high-throughput system with >10M requests per day to help make this happen for our >50K monthly users.
