Founding Solutions Engineer | Hybrid in London | Up to £150k + Equity

We're working with a high-growth fintech building next-generation card issuing and payments infrastructure powered by stablecoins.

The platform enables Visa and Mastercard card issuance without reliance on traditional banking partners, allowing near-instant settlement for merchants, end users to spend in their preferred currencies and full custody of assets to remain with the user.

The business has gone from concept to live product in under a year, has secured multi-million dollar VC funding, and is already live with well-known partners in the crypto and fintech ecosystem. Usage is accelerating rapidly, and the company is now scaling its partner and customer-facing technical function.
