About us: At Finoa, we are driven by a bold mission: to enable institutions and individuals globally to migrate their capital into the onchain economy. And we are actively engineering the platform that makes it possible.
We believe that great products are built by people who are eager to leave their mark on the world. We are seeking ambitious, hard-working individuals who are ready to innovate in a rapidly changing environment. We offer a collaborative space where your impact is visible and your growth is supported.
If you are ready to put in the work to redefine the global financial system, we want to hear from you.
Your mission: We are in the middle of a major product pivot. This isn't a role for someone who wants to sit in the back and wait for a Jira ticket to tell them what to do. We need an engineer who can own the "why" as much as the "how." You’ll be joining an existing product squad as a lead individual contributor, responsible for driving velocity, untangling legacy constraints, and shipping the foundation of our next chapter.
Your goal is to be the engine of the squad: someone who makes the hard technical decisions quickly so the team can stay in flow.
In this role, you will: In your first month, we expect you to be fully integrated into our stack and development lifecycle. Within 14 days, you should have pushed your first meaningful feature to production. You’ll spend this time mastering our CI/CD pipelines and becoming fluent in our codebase so you can begin picking up complex tasks without supervision.
By six months, you will have become a pillar of the squad. You’ll have led the end-to-end delivery of at least two major features for the new product direction—handling everything from technical design to final deployment. Beyond your own tickets, you’ll be the person raising the bar for the rest of the team through code reviews that don't just catch bugs, but improve our overall architectural thinking.
At the one-year mark, you will have measurably increased the squad’s shipping speed. You’ll have identified and executed a major refactor or system improvement that removed a legacy bottleneck, ensuring the pivot can scale. You’ll be recognized as the owner of a critical domain, having built the patterns that make it impossible for others to write bad code.
What you need to be successful: We are looking for a high-bar engineer who prioritizes user outcomes over technical purity. You should have 5-8+ years of experience in high-growth environments where speed was a competitive advantage.
You should be the type of engineer who:
Our Technical Environment
Our current tech stack is robust, utilizing TypeScript, React, and React Native for the frontend development, while the backend is powered by a combination of Node.js, Golang, and C/C++ for performance-critical components. Our data stack is powered with PostgreSQL and S3, while our infrastructure is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
What’s in it for you: We are building at a pace that few companies can match. You’ll have a level of autonomy and impact that is impossible to find in a stable, maintenance-mode organization. There are no passengers here—just a high-talent squad redefining our product's future. If you want to see your code directly influence the trajectory of a company, this is the place.
Diversity & Inclusion: Finoa is an equal opportunity employer devoted to diversity and inclusion in the workplace. We genuinely welcome and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, cultures, genders, sexual orientations, abilities, neurodiversities, and ages.
We're committed to creating an inclusive workspace where everyone feels valued and respected, free from harassment and discrimination.
