Founding Full-Stack Engineer
About The Position
Our client is an early-stage fintech infrastructure company building a modern platform for global money movement using stablecoins. Their mission is to enable faster, cheaper, and more reliable cross-border transactions for large B2B companies across the US and Europe. The company is founded by repeat founders with prior experience building and scaling products at leading fintech companies. They have already built the core product, secured early customers with meaningful transaction volume, and recently raised ~$6M in seed funding from top-tier investors. With a small, high-caliber team and strong early traction, this is a rare opportunity to join at the inflection point between product completion and scale—owning foundational systems in a mission-critical financial platform.
