ABOUT THE ROLE Join an early-stage financial technology team building production banking infrastructure for digital assets and AI-enabled financial services. As a founding engineer for US operations, you will own core backend systems and help shape the platform from the ground up. WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Ship production code early while learning the codebase, banking domain, and product.
  • Own major engineering projects as an individual contributor, from initial design through production.
  • Turn complex financial and banking requirements into reliable software that operates at scale.
  • Make decisions about system design, data modeling, and architectural tradeoffs.
  • Work with engineering, product, and clients to guide the evolution of core banking systems.
  • Build simple, automated systems that reduce recurring manual work. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
  • At least 3 years of hands-on backend software engineering experience, including production work on banking, financial systems, or large-scale core infrastructure.
  • At least 1 year of experience in an early-stage or small startup environment.
  • Experience designing and delivering major projects end-to-end, including making production system design and data modeling decisions.
  • Strong ability to ship iteratively, maintain code quality, and take ownership of reliable systems.
  • Comfort working in new problem areas without an established playbook.
  • Interest in core banking systems and financial infrastructure. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS Base salary of $200,000 to $400,000 annually, plus equity. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) plan, relocation support, and professional development support. Visa sponsorship is not available.
