Job description
Embat is one of the fastest-growing FinTech scale-ups in Europe. Founded in 2021, we are on a mission to redefine how mid-market and enterprise companies interact with their money. We don’t just offer visibility; we provide the financial operating system for the modern era.The Evolution:From SaaS to Infrastructure we’ve moved beyond being a platform to becoming a powerhouse of financial services. We are currently building EmbatOne, our own banking infrastructure designed to bridge the gap between traditional banking and seamless digital operations.
But we aren't just moving money, we are making it smarter. With Tellme, our proprietary AI financial assistant, we are empowering CFOs and treasury teams to query complex data and get real‑time insights through natural language, turning manual reporting into an archaic memory.
The Team: We are now a team of 150+ exceptional individuals working from our hubs in Spain, UK and DACH, united by a culture of high performance and radical ownership.
The Volume: Our transaction engines handle massive, high‑volume payment flows for multinationals, ensuring security and resilience in every cent moved.
The Backing: In May 2026, Embat secured a €30M Series B led by Cathay Innovation, with continued backing from Creandum, Samaipata, 4Founders Capital, and VentureFriends. This milestone is accelerating our international expansion and strengthening our ambition to become the AI‑native treasury platform powering the next generation of global finance teams.

This role is ideal for someone who combines strong accounting fundamentals with a proactive mindset, someone who anticipates issues before they accelerate, thrives under pressure, and constantly looks for smarter and faster ways of working.
