Backend Engineer

We're a dynamic fintech startup on a mission to revolutionize how Gen Z and Millennials in Vietnam experience credit, payments and BNPL.

Forget clunky processes and outdated apps - we're building a sleek, mobile-first digital credit card and PayLater experience from the ground up. Partnering with leading banks, we combine stability with cutting-edge tech (think cool Saas platforms + our own awesome frontend!) to deliver a product that truly understands the digital generation.

Founded by former McKinsey partners and backed by global investors, we're on the lookout for next generation of visionaries who are not afraid of challenging the status quo. This is your chance to get in on the ground floor, shape a game-changing product, work with the latest tech (including Al!), and make a real impact in one of Southeast Asia's fastest-growing markets (and beyond).
