We are hiring for a client building a next-generation consumer finance platform focused on emerging markets, in partnership with some of the world’s largest distribution networks. The product brings together virtual banking and cryptocurrency wallet capabilities into a unified platform, enabling users globally to move, store, and manage money seamlessly within a secure and accessible financial ecosystem.
This initiative comes at a pivotal moment, as stablecoins are reshaping cross-border payments and creating a significant opportunity to modernize financial infrastructure. With nearly 3 billion people still underserved by traditional banking systems, the platform aims to deliver faster, more inclusive, and more reliable financial rails at global scale.
Our client is a well-funded, senior-only team based in San Francisco, led by founders with proven, successful exits. They offer high cash compensation and the opportunity to make an immediate Day 1 impact on a rapidly scaling product that is shaping the future of global consumer finance and financial inclusion.
The Role
A Technical Lead on our team is a hands-on leadership role for candidates with breadth across multiple layers of our stack and the judgment to drive technical outcomes.
We are building:
An iOS app (Swift)
An Android app (Kotlin)
A Web app (React)
A standalone backend (Python + FastAPI, Postgres, AWS)
If you bring a mix of these skill sets and can guide others to deliver high-quality software, this role may be a strong fit. Please also review our Senior Android, iOS, Frontend, and Backend roles for deeper, discipline-specific details.
As an early engineering leader, you will define our architecture, set engineering standards, and lead the delivery of a performant, reliable, and secure product from the ground up. The problem space includes financial services with real-money movement at international scale and non-trivial compliance, integrity, and latency constraints.
You will collaborate across product, design, and operations, and help grow and mentor the team. You will work directly with the founders. This role may expand to broader engineering leadership across platforms as we scale.
Requirements
Requirements
7–10 years building and shipping consumer-facing mobile and/or web applications with meaningful full-stack exposure (e.g., React/TypeScript, Python, Go/Rust, Postgres, AWS, modern CI/CD).

You might be an especially good fit if you have:
Experience building for the Latin American market
Experience in financial technology
Strong systems-thinking and design sense
