Job description

Anyfin is building the next generation of consumer finance. We’re profitable, scaling quickly and now operating with a banking license which opens up a lot of technical complexity.

We’re looking for a senior cloud engineer who enjoys moving fast, taking real ownership and building systems that actually have an impact. We work from the office because we think it makes us better, especially at this stage.

If that sounds like your kind of environment, keep reading. Because honestly, it’s not a role for everyone.

Small team, high responsibility

We hire carefully. We’re not a company that grows by adding headcount everywhere, we grow by keeping the bar high and building a team where every person matters. This isn’t a place where you disappear into a big org. If you join, you’ll have real influence on what we build and how we build it.

What You’ll Do

• Design and operate cloud infrastructure and services on GCP to support scalable and reliable systems.
• Build, optimize and scale backend systems with a cloud-first mindset, using Node.js and SQL (Postgres).
• Contribute to system architecture to ensure cloud scalability, reliability and maintainability of financial systems.
• Collaborate closely with cross‑functional teams to shape both product direction and business strategy.
• Share cloud and infrastructure expertise with the team while promoting best practices.

Our main stack is TypeScript, Node.js, React, React Native running on Google Cloud Platform.

How We Think About Building

We’re pragmatic. We like speed, but we also care about building things that last.

AI isn’t a side tool here. It’s embedded in how we work, helping engineers move faster, reduce friction and focus on solving meaningful problems.

We’re looking for engineers who are curious about that shift and want to be part of it, rather than people who feel like good engineering means doing everything the hard way.

No ego. Just good judgment and high output.

You’ll thrive here if you…

• Have solid experience building backend systems with cloud‑first practices and working with cloud platforms such as GCP, AWS, or Azure.
• Care about craftsmanship, performance and reliability in the systems you build.
• Take responsibility naturally and don’t wait to be told what to do.
• Enjoy messy problems and figuring things out as you go.
• Like being in an ambitious, collaborative team in the office.
• Want to build, not just maintain.

You’re Comfortable With Things Like

• Strong background in cloud infrastructure and backend development with Node.js and SQL databases (preferably Postgres).
• Experience in designing, deploying and monitoring solutions on major cloud platforms such as GCP, AWS, or Azure.
• At least 5 years of professional experience, ideally in high‑staked environments like finance.
• Passionate about solving complex backend and cloud problems with clean, pragmatic solutions.
• Solid understanding of system design and architecture.
• Bonus if you’ve worked with React, Python, Go, GraphQL, Kubernetes, or DevOps with Github Actions.

A few practical notes

• Stockholm and office‑based, because we believe that great products and culture are better built when you meet in person.
• EU work authorization required.

Why Anyfin?

Because this is one of those moments where a company is about to level up: Banking license secured, expansion ahead and a lot to build. If you want to be part of a small, high‑trust team doing meaningful work, we’d love to hear from you. Apply only if you want the responsibility that comes with real impact.
