We are looking for a senior Java developer with a minimum relevant career of 5 years in fintech and finance related projects. The ideal candidate is proficient in Java and Spring Boot, manoeuvres at ease API integrations and microservices and has an engineering mindset and education. We need a proactive problem solving attitude. Use of AI is supported with the caveat that the candidate controls the AI and takes full ownership and understanding of the code produced.

We’re building a fintech platform that connects the real world of money with the new world of crypto.

In practice, that means integrating banks, payment providers, crypto custody, trading platforms, and compliance tools into one system that actually works end-to-end. We deal with real transactions, real users, and real edge cases — not just theory.

A big part of what we do is making different financial systems talk to each other reliably: handling payments, tracking balances, reconciling data, managing failures, and making sure everything adds up correctly. If something breaks, we fix it. If something doesn’t exist, we build it.

We’re a small, focused team that values ownership, clear thinking, and people who like solving practical problems. No unnecessary layers, no buzzwords for the sake of it — just solid engineering and product work.

If you enjoy working on integrations, APIs, financial flows, and systems that have to be correct (not just “look good”), you’ll feel at home here. We need people who can take ownership of their responsibilities.
