Staff Engineer

About the job

Staff Engineer (Fintech, Java, AWS) - Dublin, €120-140k (DOE)

We’re working with a seriously interesting fintech that’s about to go live across Europe this summer.

They’re building a B2B banking platform from scratch, think payments, FX, onboarding, lending, all wrapped in a modern, cloud-native stack.

They’ve got their EMI licence in progress, a strong leadership team in place, and now need one key hire:

👉 A high-calibre engineer who can help get them over the line.

💡What’s in it for you

• Join at founding stage, not years in

• Work directly with the

CTO and Principal Engineer

• Build a

real product going live in months

• High ownership, no red tape

• Hybrid working (Dublin-based team)

🛠What you’ll be doing

• Designing and building core banking infrastructure

• Shipping MVP features across

payments, FX, transfers

• Owning backend architecture (Java + AWS)

• Contributing across systems, deployment, and scaling

• Working closely with product and leadership

✅What they’re looking for

• Strong backend engineer (10+ years ideally)

• Java + AWSexperience

• Background in fintech (payments ideally)

• Someone who’s built modern systems, not legacy banking platforms

• Comfortable in fast-moving, high-ownership environments

➕Nice to have

• Payments / KYC / onboarding experience

• Crypto / stablecoin exposure

• Startup or early-stage experience

⚠️Quick note

This isn’t a cushy “Staff Engineer in a 200-person team” role.

It’s closer to:

“come in, build, solve problems, and help get a fintech live”

If that excites you, you’ll love it. If not, probably not the right fit.

€120k – €140k depending on experience
