We are a FinTech recruitment agency. Since 2013 we have placed payments, core banking, risk and compliance engineers with neobanks, payment processors and financial technology vendors across the UK, EU and North America. Tell us about the role.

Why FinTech hiring is different

Most technology recruiters screen on language and framework. In FinTech that misses the part that actually breaks: money has to be correct, auditable and reconcilable, and the engineers who can guarantee that are a narrow subset of “backend developers”.

An engineer who has shipped consumer CRUD apps is not automatically one who can design an immutable double-entry ledger, reason about authorization versus clearing, keep operations idempotent across ACH, SEPA, SWIFT and card rails, or hold a PCI DSS boundary together. Regulation adds a second filter, with PSD2 and Open Banking, DORA resilience obligations, and AML and KYC controls gating releases.

Ways to engage us

Hiring needs change with funding stage and regulatory scope, so we work four ways:

  1. Tech recruitment
  2. Staff augmentation
  3. Dedicated development teams
  4. Custom IT staffing

🧐 Unsure which route to take? Outline the role and we will recommend one, with our reasoning.

How the search runs

  1. Brief. We pin down the technical must-haves, the regulatory scope the person will work inside, and the salary band the market will actually clear. Unrealistic briefs get flagged immediately, not in week four.
  2. Search. We headhunt directly. The strongest payments and core-banking engineers sit inside regulated businesses and almost never browse job boards.
  3. Screen and shortlist. We screen on the layer you are hiring into, whether that is ledger design, rail integration, fraud modelling or regulatory reporting.
  4. Offer and aftercare. We run the offer through to signature, then stay close during notice periods, which in regulated firms often involve gardening leave and lengthy handovers.

FinTech recruitment: common questions

Backend Engineer for ledgers and core banking, Payments Integration Engineer (card networks, ACH, SEPA, SWIFT), Risk, Fraud and AML Data Scientist, Quantitative Developer, RegTech and Compliance Engineer, Digital Assets and Blockchain Engineer, and leadership hires up to CTO.

Both, and the choice usually follows the roadmap. Licence applications and audit deadlines often need contract capacity fast, while ledger and platform ownership is better placed permanently. All four of our models are available.

Against the specific layer you are hiring into rather than generic seniority. That means ledger and reconciliation design, payment-rail integration and idempotency, fraud and AML modelling, or regulatory reporting, depending on the role. Each shortlisted candidate comes with written reasoning.

Yes. Head of Engineering, VP Engineering and CTO searches are a regular part of our FinTech work, including hires who must satisfy regulator scrutiny.
