Founding Engineer

Founding Engineer | FinTech | London | In-office | £100k to £130k + equity

If you're interested in companies where you join early enough to shape both product and engineering culture, this is a rare opportunity to do so.

A recently funded fintech startup is building modern infrastructure to simplify global outbound payments for businesses, an area still dominated by slow, fragmented systems.

They’ve just raised a ~$10m Seed round and are now hiring their first two founding engineers to work directly with the founders and help build the platform from the ground up.

This is a true 0 to 1 engineering role where speed, ownership, and product thinking matter.

You’ll be trusted to:

  • Build core product features from scratch
  • Design and scale backend systems handling financial workflows
  • Work across the stack with a strong TypeScript focus
  • Help shape early engineering practices and architecture

The team is intentionally small and execution-focused. You’ll have direct impact on product direction, infrastructure decisions, and how the company scales.

Stack: TypeScript, Node.js, React, Postgres, AWS - (AI First)

This will suit engineers who enjoy high ownership, ambiguity, and building real systems from day one rather than joining something already mature.

If you’re curious about joining a fintech right at the beginning, drop me a message.
