Remote Mid EMEA Banking Fintech Backend Engineer Frontend Engineer Node.js Client Onboarding React TypeScript Python Full Stack Documentation

Requirements

• 2-4 years of experience building and shipping production software, full-stack or backend-leaning. • Comfort across a modern web stack (TypeScript, React, Node.js). Python is a plus, especially for AI work. • AI-native: you build with AI by default (LLM APIs, agentic workflows, AI coding tools) and are comfortable shipping AI-powered features. • Strong problem-solving skills and a builder's instinct, with a keen attention to detail. • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain technical tradeoffs to engineers, founders, and non-technical stakeholders alike. • Comfort working directly with clients, and an eagerness to learn and adapt in a fast-moving environment. • Some exposure to fintech or financial products, or a genuine interest in the domain, with an awareness of why security and compliance matter when handling financial data. • The following would be a bonus experience to have, though highlight any additional experience or skills you may have. We like working with people with varied backgrounds and experiences. • AI-powered features that map well to fintech: document extraction (for KYC or statements), transaction categorization, support chatbots, search, or data normalization. • Creating MCP servers, or building deeper agentic tooling and testing infrastructure for agentic applications. • Background in fintech, regulated financial services, or experience with RegTech and compliance automation tools. • Experience with payment, banking, or financial data integrations. • Relevant open-source contributions or technical publications. • AI in our hiring processWe use AI to help us review and shortlist applications based on job-related criteria. A human hiring manager always makes the call on who moves forward. As a company that builds with AI every day, we're all for candidates using it too — just be upfront about how it helped.Why Work With Us • AI in our hiring process

Responsibilities

• Embed with client teams to understand their users and their challenges, then build and extend their product to meet real needs. • Develop custom solutions and integrations that solve concrete client problems. • Translate what you learn from users into clear, actionable feedback for the client's product and engineering teams. • Build and maintain integrations with the services fintech products depend on: payment processors, banking partners, and financial data providers • Build full-stack features that are increasingly AI-powered (LLM-driven workflows, agentic features, and the product around them), using AI across your own workflow to ship faster while keeping quality high. • Support client teams with onboarding, documentation, and training on what you build, so it holds up after you roll off. • Build strong, trust-based relationships with client teams, acting as a technical partner and advocate, not just a contractor.
