What makes this role worth considering

You will work with one of fintech’s most ambitious companies, operating across 20 offices on six continents while maintaining London as headquarters. The role offers a highly visible position where your technical guidance directly influences enterprise outcomes and product development. With a hybrid model requiring three days per week in one of three U.S. offices—New York, Atlanta, or San Francisco—you’ll balance collaboration with flexibility while driving meaningful impact for global merchants at scale.
