This is not a conventional salaried job vacancy for founders.

We have recently onboarded a fresh cohort of exceptionally strong FinTech engineers, founding developers, and future technical leaders who are now looking for the right startup to join.

We are therefore inviting ambitious FinTech founders to join Foundermatcha and meet our latest technical talent interested in:

  • Technical co-founder opportunities
  • Founding engineer roles
  • Lead engineer positions
  • Future CTO pathways
  • Early-stage startup equity
  • Building and scaling new FinTech products

It is an opportunity for FinTech founders and startup companies to access relevant technical talent through Foundermatcha’s founder–engineer matchmaking community.

Who We Are

Foundermatcha connects ambitious startup founders with software engineers, technical co-founders, and future CTOs.

Our aim is to help founders meet people who are not only technically capable but genuinely interested in the startup’s mission and suited to working together.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
