Location: We offer a Hybrid/Remote working policy. Function: Engineering

We're looking for a talented Software Engineer to join the Wallets subdomain within BVNK's Ledger domain. The Wallets subdomain is responsible for the complete lifecycle of customer wallets: creation, activation, blocking, suspension, and termination; across fiat and crypto, for direct merchants, embedded partners, and their underlying customers. This is high-impact, foundational work. As BVNK scales into new products and new entity structures, the Wallets subdomain is at the centre of it all: every new product capability, every new customer type, and every new custody model needs a wallet representation that is accurate, compliant, and scalable. You'll be building the infrastructure that makes all of this possible. Our product and engineering organisation is split into small autonomous squads empowered to own their problem space. You’ll be expected to form strong opinions and execute in a fast but sustainable way, advocating for the simplest solution that achieves the outcomes our customers are looking for.
