About the Role

Title: Senior Software Engineer

Location: Sheung Wan Hong Kong HK

Type: Full-time

Workplace: Hybrid remote

Job Description:

First Circle is one of the fastest growing fintechs in South-East Asia, providing financial services to under-served SMEs. We have already transformed access to credit for thousands of small businesses in the Philippines, and we are now building a full-stack Neobank that will include multi-currency bank accounts, payments, FX, corporate credit cards, payroll.

We have just raised Series B, led by the IFC (the World Bank's investment arm), and we are hiring mid to senior level developers to supercharge our growth.

Building in developing markets like the Philippines presents unique challenges, given the state of digital infrastructure. We are building virtually everything in-house, which is not easy, but its a lot of fun. We have a track record of solving seemingly impossible problems that defeated many other start-ups, and the opportunity ahead remains enormous.

Requirements

  • At least 4 years experience of software development.
  • Great if you have worked on products that are data-heavy, B2B, or fintech, but not essential.
  • Full-stack mentality. You don't need to have mastered all the languages in our current tech stack (ruby on rails, kotlin, react, HTMX). You do need to be adaptable and keen to learn.
  • The ability and desire to consistently produce excellent work, individually and as part of a team. Our mission is what attracts people, but working on highly stimulating problems is what keeps us hooked
  • Mindset of personal growth, and a best-in-class work ethic

Benefits

  • We don't have a fixed budget for the role. When we find the right person, we will pay them competitively vs their market rate.
  • Primarily remote, with the option to work from our office. We also have small offices in London & Belgrade where other senior engineers are based.
