Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of OpenFX as an employer.

What you need

  • Significant experience as a senior or staff-level backend engineer, with a track record of owning complex systems in production.
  • Has built or operated payment systems in production — orchestration, partner integrations, or payment lifecycle systems — with a working grasp of money-path failure modes: duplicates, partial failures, cut-off misses, stuck or lost payments.
  • Has integrated external banking, payment, or FX partners and lived through the messy reality: sandbox-vs-production drift, certificate and credential churn, undocumented behavior, partner outages.
  • Sound judgment on correctness under failure — retries against external systems, idempotency, exactly-once effects, and safe handling of critical data.
  • Deep expertise in distributed systems and a strong grasp of reliability, performance, and scalability trade-offs.
  • Excellent technical communication and the ability to lead initiatives across teams without formal authority.

Nice to have

  • Cross-border payments experience: corridor launches, FX, SWIFT/SEPA or local clearing schemes in any of our target markets (EU, LATAM, Middle East, APAC).
  • Experience building safeguarding, transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, or other regulated controls in an EMI/PI, PSD2, or MiCAR-style environment.
  • Multi-partner orchestration: routing, partner health scoring, and failover on live money flows.
  • Experience with durable workflow or orchestration engines for long-running, multi-step payment processes.
  • Stablecoin or digital-asset settlement rails alongside fiat.

What you get

  • Competitive salary and benefits package.
  • Equity in a rapidly growing company.
  • Opportunity to work in a fast-paced startup at the forefront of fintech innovation.
  • Opportunity to make a significant impact on global financial infrastructure.
  • Collaborative work culture with emphasis on personal and professional growth.

Worth weighing

  • No specific salary listed.
  • The role involves significant responsibility and complexity, which may be challenging for those without extensive experience in payment systems.
  • The position requires collaboration across multiple teams, which may require strong interpersonal skills and adaptability.
