Some of our notable clients include Google, Shopify, Coinbase, Alchemy, Hinge, OVO, Polymarket, and more. We are a remote-first organization headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, with employees worldwide. We believe in providing the best experience possible for all Lazerites by fostering a strong community through regular events, company vacations, competitive compensation, unlimited PTO, and more! Join Lazer and help us solve problems and build the next generation of products! Lazer's Fintech practice partners with some of the most ambitious teams in financial software, across payments, lending, capital markets, embedded finance, and AI-native financial products. We're still deep in the crypto ecosystem too, working with some of the most well-known crypto-native trading and infrastructure projects. The bigger story is the convergence: traditional finance platforms are modernizing fast and leveraging both crypto and AI, and our practice sits right at that intersection. Many of our engagements involve clients embedding agents, copilots, and LLM-driven workflows directly into their financial products. This space is still being shaped, and the team we hire gets to shape it.
