Houston, Texas

Our team is passionate about harnessing technology and policy knowledge to benefit consumers. Having helped companies scale their operations in a range of highly regulated industries, I am excited to guide Summer’s growth in a sustainable manner that aligns our interests with those of student loan borrowers. I see student debt as a critical issue both as a burden at a personal level that impacts major life decisions—often in ways that exacerbate preexisting societal imbalances—and in terms of the macroeconomic consequences of having a generation of Americans burdened by rising tuition costs.

Bronx, New York

Like most student loan borrowers, I was overwhelmed by the repayment process when I graduated from college. I chose to work in finance so that I could pay off my debt, and was excited to work in fintech startups once I got my debt under control. When I met Will and Paul at a pitch competition, I fell in love with Summer’s mission. I feel lucky to come to work every day to help make the process less painful for everyone.

New York, NY

I know first-hand the impact of financial instability and the role that student debt can play. I don’t take any day of financial health for granted. Today, as I pay monthly loans off my small fraction of our collective $1.5 trillion debt load, I’m proud to be part of a team that’s committed to helping other borrowers find their way out of the student loan maze.

Long Island, NY

There is nothing wrong with investing in your own education, even if it means taking on debt.  Over time, our system for loan repayment has become overly complicated, and borrowers are making uninformed decisions that are often not in their best interests.  Summer represents the best of what fintech should be—leveraging technology to provide everyone with access to complete information and the ability to make and implement smart decisions for their financial health.

Upper Arlington, OH

After finishing grad school in debt and navigating repayment as a freelance musician, I understand how opaque and complex the process can be. It took working in investment management to develop my financial health and perspective. I want to make sure everyone can take that journey no matter what field they’re in. Debt repayment and financial planning are the foundational steps to building a life that looks the way you want it to. I’m honored to be working with Summer to support borrowers with expert help and make student debt manageable.

Brooklyn, NY

As someone who did not think they would find themselves in the fintech industry, I was immediately drawn to Summer because of its fierce mission and passionate team. It’s hard to find someone that hasn’t been affected by the student debt crisis in some way. I was fortunate to have a circle around me that was familiar with the student loan space but not everyone is as lucky. The current system is confusing and can be incredibly frustrating. I knew that I wanted to be a part of an organization that tackles this issue head on. I love being able to speak with borrowers directly and help them navigate through the system. I am incredibly excited for the lasting change Summer will bring to current and future student borrowers!

Student loans have impacted many people’s lives. Impressed by Summer’s mission, I joined the founding team as a data scientist to work with a talented team on a critical issue. At Summer, I am able to utilize the power of data science to analyze complicated student loan cases and turn our findings into a scalable product for millions of student loan borrowers. We care about data, and even more importantly, we care about the people we serve.

The cost of education should not be a barrier to people who want to grow and invest in themselves. As a student loan borrower myself, I worked to pay off my debt as quickly as possible but did not have any reliable resources while navigating the process. As a designer, I aim to build products that bring clarity to the complexity while putting users first. I’m excited to work with the Summer team to guide borrowers toward their best options and make the most of their repayment plans.

Designing anything for the world inherently carries an ethical implication. As a designer, I feel a responsibility to take opportunities where I can help people in the realm of social innovation through design methodology. At Summer, we build financial tech that aims to help borrowers better understand and navigate their options for their student loans. By working at Summer, I hope to help people overcome the often opportunity-limiting overhead of student loans so that they can live the lives they imagine.

Brooklyn, NY

First and foremost, I wanted to work with a team of intelligent, empathetic, and highly motivated humans, working to solve a problem that is both challenging and impactful. I am proud to land at Summer where I have the opportunity to help millions of Americans implement smart decisions around complex financial problems.

Toledo, Ohio

Long Island, NY

The student loan crisis is forcing a generation of my peers to put a mortgage on our futures. The byzantine structure that exists for managing one’s loans just makes the already huge burden of student debt all the heavier. I’m a big believer in empowerment through knowledge, and Summer is doing great work to help educate people about their student loan options and give them back control over their lives. I’m excited to be part of a team that is dedicated to making a positive change in the world, and solve fun technological challenges along the way.

Lexington, KY

There are plenty of difficult problems in technology; some matter more than others. Addressing the student debt crisis presents a challenge that has the potential to change people’s lives. The people at this company care deeply about solving this problem. Every person we can help is one fewer who has to live with anxiety and one more who can live a fulfilling life without the burden of student debt.

Washington, D.C.

An investment in yourself and your education is possibly one of the best decisions anyone can make in their life. People should feel empowered to make that investment without the looming threat of a never-ending cycle of debt. I think that with the proper data, technology, and compassion we can make navigating the complex system of repayment a more human and approachable process. I’m excited to work with Summer to help empower people to tackle their student debt and build a solution from the ground up!

Westfield, NJ

It’s about time someone stuck up for the borrowers of this country. For too long, people with student loans have been subjected to misinformation and predatory practices that continue to push them farther from becoming debt-free. I’m proud to be part of the team at Summer that’s working to provide them with guidance and support to get them back on the right track.

Ridgewood, NJ

As a fellow student, I have experienced the impact and burden of debt firsthand. When I first heard about Summer, I was greatly inspired by the opportunity to build tools that help borrowers save. Excited by the problems being solved here, I hope to use my passion for engineering to build reliable and intuitive products that can help people alleviate the pressure of debt and live a better life.

Portland, ME

Moved by the company’s mission—and lured by the promise to work alongside a team beta fish, TJ—I’m elated to join Summer as the first in-house recruiter. I believe in the positive impact of higher education and appreciate Summer’s drive to make education more accessible by helping student loan borrowers find relief. I’m honored to work alongside the existing Summer team and can’t wait to hire even more passionate, talented, and fun-loving colleagues.

Santa Cruz, California

From the start, Summer’s founders have been clear that building a diverse, inclusive team is a core value. That’s not only because it’s the right thing to do, but because it’s key to the success of a company striving to fix a systemic issue impacting socioeconomic injustice in the US. I’m picky about working with organizations that practice what they preach, and Summer is facing that challenge head on.
