I’ve partnered up with a fintech company doing some genuinely exciting work across America. They’ve built a platform that allows people to hold and spend money in dollars using stablecoins a game-changer in regions where local currencies can be volatile.

They’re known for making it incredibly easy to move money across borders, save in dollars, and spend with a card that works globally. Backed by top-tier investors like Y Combinator, they’ve raised over $20 million and are scaling fast.

What we’re looking for:

• Strong experience with Java 21+, TDD, and microservices
• Passionate and ambitious mindset
• Clear and confident communicator
• Ideally, someone with startup experience

What’s on offer:

• Salary up to £140k
• Bonus + equity
• Fast, two-stage interview process
