Who we are
We’re on a mission to make investing better for everyone in Europe. More specifically, we’re making it light years better (sorry… we had to!). We’re combining multi-currency accounts with unlimited access to global markets so that everyone in Europe can invest freely without sneaky hidden fees or unnecessary barriers.
Over the last 18 months, we’ve grown from being just an idea to a regulated business in both the UK & the EU, launching in 20 countries and raising $35M along the way. And we’ve hired a team of 30 people from some of the best fintechs in Europe.
We’ve got a stellar group of investors behind us including Lightspeed Venture Partners, Sir Richard Branson, Mosaic Ventures, Taavet Hinrikus, Jaan Tallinn, Sten Tamkivi, Eileen Burbidge as well as a host of angel investors. In 2022, we raised a $25M Series A round and have been covered in CNBC, TechCrunch, Business Insider and City AM.
We’re still at the early stages of designing our architecture and finalising the selection of our toolset, so you’ll play a key role in helping us lay the building blocks for the overall platform. Our technical environment consists primarily of Java 14+, Spring Framework (SpringBoot), Jooq, PostgreSQL, Docker, AWS, React/Next.js, Flutter for Mobile, and we will look to you to enhance our technologies further. For the Backend we are looking for a Java expert with strong product skills.
