B2B/Remote (EU)

Join a long-term FinTech project where you’ll build and maintain a high-availability platform delivering FX market data to institutional clients around the world. This is a great opportunity to take ownership of business-critical systems, work with modern cloud infrastructure, and have a real impact on a product used in the financial industry.

You start your day from wherever you work best. No commute, no office routine, no unnecessary distractions — just your setup, your rhythm, and the space to focus. Whether that means an early coffee, a quiet morning, or jumping straight into deep work is up to you.

Working with experienced people

Your teammates may be based in Brazil, Portugal, Lithuania, San Francisco, or one of many other locations, but collaboration is part of the everyday work. You work with strong engineers who are open to sharing what they know — in projects, internal sessions, external trainings, conferences, and day-to-day discussions.

Staying close to the Scala community

You finish your day by hanging out with folks from the Scala community who are taking part in one of Scalac’s Meetups for Scala Community (it could be a Functional World we host or one of many more we support). You have a great discussion with them about the recent open-source projects we support and end your day positively inspired (or if you happened to be a speaker, with a job-well-done feeling proud that you inspire others).
