  • Europe, Eastern Europe, UK

  • Get ready to
    ·        Collaborate daily with product, design, and compliance in a lean, cross-functional team.
    ·        Build and extend APIs, services, and integrations that power payments, wallets, and lending workflows.
    ·        Contribute to technical excellence: reviews, RFCs, and feedback that raise the bar.
    ·        Ship features that directly impact how global talent moves and manages their money.

    What you’ll do
    ·        Implement backend services (Node.js/TypeScript) with observability (metrics, logging, tracing) from day one.
    ·        Support fintech workflows: payments, wallet operations, and lending features such as origination and repayments.
    ·        Ensure compliance flows (KYC/AML, fraud checks) are embedded without adding friction.
    ·        Work across backend and frontend (React/TypeScript) to deliver clean, user-facing experiences.
    ·        Partner with senior engineers to design, test, and launch features quickly and reliably.

    What we’re looking for
    ·        3–5 years experience building production systems, ideally in fintech, lending, or payments.
    ·        Solid backend skills in Node.js (or Java/Go), REST/GraphQL APIs.
    ·        Experience with PostgreSQL and Redis.
    ·        Familiarity with React/TypeScript on the frontend.
    ·        Cloud & infra knowledge: AWS/GCP, CI/CD, Kubernetes basics.
    ·        Exposure to financial systems (payments, KYC, wallets, compliance flows).

    How you work (values we expect)
    ·        Ownership mindset - you care about outcomes, not just code.
    ·        Product-minded - you think in flows, not endpoints.
    ·        High-velocity, sustainable pace - you ship quickly, then iterate.
    ·        Clarity over complexity - simple for users, even if complex under the hood.
    ·        AI-native builder - you use modern coding tools to eliminate grunt work.

    Bonus Points if you have….
    ·        Experience integrating fintech APIs (payments, KYC/AML, wallets, custody, FX).
    ·        Hands-on work with compliance-heavy systems or regulated environments.
    ·        Familiarity with scaling transaction-heavy systems.
    ·        Experience working in cross-border or global financial products.

    What we offer
    ·        High-impact role - contribute to systems that power real payments and lending flows from day one.
    ·        Broad exposure - work on core backend, user-facing features, and integrations.
    ·        Growth opportunity - mentorship from senior engineers and a clear path to grow your impact.
    ·        Transparent, supportive culture - feedback flows freely, the best ideas win, and you’ll have the freedom to experiment, learn, and grow.
