Senior Backend Engineer – Java

 

About us:

The Company was founded in 2021 to fill an important gap in the cryptocurrency market. The growth of the crypto market has almost entirely been driven by retail investors and only recently have institutional

investors come to the table; however, this has led to a huge gap in the market where solutions are

designed for small retail investors and large institutions but not the mid-market corporate that wants to

take advantage of digital assets. They have built a banking platform based entirely on digital assets, designed specifically for UK and European Corporates, SPVs and high net worth individuals. The company allows corporates to send and accept both local and cross border payments, earn high yield on all assets held on the platform, and access crypto markets via our trading platform, OTC desk, and lending desk.

  • Contribute to their engineering culture and standards to help them perform better
