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.

* Own major engineering projects as an individual contributor, from initial design through production.
Read the full description
* 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.
