Key skills for this role
We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to own the core systems that make this work. You will design and build the services that move real money, integrate with payment partners and banks, and ensure the platform is secure, observable, and ready to scale to millions of transactions.
You will work closely with the CEO, CTO, and a small senior team, making foundational architectural decisions and shipping production systems quickly. This role is a fit if you enjoy wresting simplicity out of complex problems and care deeply about reliability and correctness in financial systems. We value your time: our process focuses on practical system design and architectural discussions, not LeetCode grinding or unpaid take-home assignments.
Fin is a next-generation payments platform built for high-value, global, and instant transactions. We are a Series A-stage company backed by Sequoia, Circle, and other notable investors. Powered by stablecoins, Fin enables users and businesses to move millions of dollars in seconds - whether to other Fin users, directly into bank accounts, or across crypto rails. By combining the speed of crypto with the reliability and trust of traditional finance, Fin reimagines how money moves worldwide. If banks and payment products were reinvented today, they would look like Fin.
