Backend Engineer (Go, Java, Python, NodeJS)

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

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).
