Job description

About the company

the company is the fastest-growing B2B fintech in Canada.

We're on a mission to transform business banking for Canadian entrepreneurs and are looking to hire A-players interested in disrupting traditional banking practices. As the ONLY digital banking platform in Canada offering a truly modern solution, we have seen accelerated growth—scaling to support more than 10,000 Canadian businesses in under two years. Business owners are tired of the big banks' monopoly and are looking for modern tools that replace the legacy systems that have been their only option for over 100 years.

We've raised over $26.5M from Tier 1 investors such as Gradient, Left Lane Capital, Intact, and XYZ Venture Capital. Interested in redefining the future of banking in Canada? Look no further.

• Collaborate with other teams (product, sales, operations) to understand and solve our customers' pain points.
• Integrating with banking partners, third-party APIs to enable features like virtual cards, international money transfers, and accurately track financial data and make payments.
• Operating very independently and working directly with product owners, leveraging experience in shipping products in a fast-paced environment like an early-stage startup.

What You'll Need

• Experience in building, scaling, and supporting production-ready products from scratch.
• 5+ years of professional experience with Java.
• 6+ years of experience in backend development.
• Quick learner with an ambitious and results-driven personality.
• Excellent communication and organizational skills.
• Entrepreneurial spirit, as you'll be joining on the ground floor and building the business.

Bonus Points

• Experience at an early-stage or fast-growing startup.
• Experience at a fintech.
• Familiarity with payment products (card issuing, money transfers, credit, etc.).
• Side projects you're happy to show off.
