We are working with a well-funded fintech building a greenfield, AI-powered platform for financial advisers.
The core team is currently just three people and they're now looking to hire engineers 4 and 5 as they continue building out the product and engineering team.
The role
We're looking for an experienced backend engineer who enjoys building systems from the ground up and taking genuine ownership of their work.
You'll be working on a greenfield platform where system design, architecture and distributed systems are central to the engineering challenge.
The environment is primarily JVM-based, so we're interested in strong backend engineers with experience across Java, Kotlin or Scala.
