Your opportunity
Our client is a well-funded, series A, growth-oriented scale-up. They develop and distribute an app-based and browser-accessed fintech platform with a wide range of capabilities currently targeting Canadian consumers and businesses. The client’s existing product reduces the friction between fiat, cryptocurrencies, and everyday purchases. They have >1.3M signups, 6-figures of monthly active users, and maintain a healthy treasury to support operations, invest in growth opportunities, and mitigate risks.
They have identified several attractive product opportunities and are currently adding ~8 senior and staff engineers to expand and accelerate the product roadmap, pay down technical debt, anticipate and stay compliant with regulators, and harden the product and organization’s InfoSec posture.
These roles will see you joining a research & development function of 35, 23 of whom are in software engineering (at the time of writing), on one of the 5 domain-specific engineering squads.
