Description

About us:

BVNK provides modern payment infrastructure for businesses. We unify banks and blockchains in a single platform. With BVNK, businesses can send and receive stablecoin payments, convert between currencies, and add stablecoin payments to their checkout. Using our flexible platform, and robust global licensing and compliance expertise, innovators can launch new payment products quickly and compliantly.

We are a diverse team spread across the UK, Europe, South Africa, the US, and APAC, with a shared belief that all payment flows will interact with crypto in the coming decade, and BVNK will be at the forefront of this transformation of the financial system. We have raised $50M in Series B funding from top investors including Haun Ventures, Tiger Global, and Coinbase Ventures, and we're looking for smart, ambitious people to help us build the next generation of payments.

About this role in the team:

Location: We offer a Hybrid/Remote working policy which allows us to hire across EMEA.  

FUNCTION: Engineering

We’re looking for a talented Software Engineer with experience in AI and ML to join our team. Our goal is to build out seamless cross-border payments involving both crypto and fiat currencies.  This role is pivotal in helping us overcome the challenges to ensure smooth trading processes together with streamlining liquidity management and automation. 

Traditional methods have often resulted in customers grappling with high transaction fees, lengthy delays, and the rigidity of having to choose between fiat and crypto transactions. With our innovative solution, we aim to break down these barriers by allowing a fluid interchange between crypto and fiat currencies. This hybrid solution will empower our customers to make international payments in their preferred format, whether it be entirely in crypto, entirely in fiat, or a mix of both. By enhancing the interoperability between these two transaction modes, we aim to accelerate transaction speed, reduce associated costs, and create a more user-friendly experience. 

Our product and engineering organisation is split into small autonomous squads empowered to own their problem space. You’ll be expected to form strong opinions and execute in a fast but sustainable way, advocating for the simplest solution that achieves the outcomes our customers are looking for. 

Key Areas of Responsibilities:

  • Collaborate with our product team to iterate fast and deliver results across both traditional backend systems and ML-powered features
  • Translate from technical to non-technical with stakeholders across the business, particularly in explaining ML model decisions and capabilities
  • Advocate for the simplest but most effective approach in everything we do, balancing traditional software solutions with AI-driven approaches
  • Develop future-proof products, focusing on delivering quality code consistently and efficiently while incorporating ML model lifecycle management
  • Design and implement AI agents and automated systems that enhance our product capabilities and operations
  • Contribute to our engineering culture and standards to help us perform better

What we need from you: This role could be a great opportunity if you:

  • Proven experience as a Solid Backend Developer in a similar role, preferably in the FinTech industry
  • Experience in Python and ML frameworks like TensorFlow or PyTorch
  • Familiarity with Java and Spring Boot is a plus
  • Experience in building and maintaining APIs, services, and ML model deployment pipelines
  • Strong background in training, fine-tuning, and deploying machine learning models in production environments
  • Experience with AI agent development, including working with large language models and reinforcement learning
  • Excellent problem-solving skills, able to work independently or in a team
  • Good understanding of financial services, particularly in banking, payments, trading or crypto
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Familiarity with distributed ledger technology or blockchain is a plus
  • Experience with ML ops tools and practices, including model monitoring and versioning
  • Are data-driven, using analytical skills to make pragmatic decisions about both traditional systems and ML applications

What you can expect from us:

  • Fair and competitive salary at every stage of your growth
  • Meaningful ownership in the business through our employee option scheme
  • Flexible working hours, with hybrid working at its heart
  • A culture built on passionate growth-minded people
  • A flexible approach to holiday
  • Opportunities to travel to our offices around the world, in locations such as London and Cape Town, to collaborate with your colleagues 
  • An open and creative environment where you can help us define the future of BVNK, its culture, and its opportunity sets

At BVNK, we are focused on building a diverse and inclusive team. While you may not meet all of our requirements, we’d encourage you to apply if you meet the majority of our expectations. You may be a great fit for this role or another role in our team.

I've been using this job search site for a while now, and it’s honestly one of the best out there! The clean and easy-to-navigate UI makes the whole job-hunting process so much smoother. Plus, the job postings are always up-to-date, so I never feel like I’m wasting time. The cherry on top is the owner—super kind and always quick to respond. Definitely recommend checking it out if you're on the job hunt!

As a student navigating the job market, I've found LinkedIn increasingly frustrating due to numerous fake postings by consultancies. In contrast, this job posting website has been a game-changer for me. It offers genuine opportunities and a straightforward application process, making it much easier to find and apply for real jobs. Highly recommend it to fellow students seeking reliable job listings!

Echo Jobs has been exceptional in my job hunt where it provides one platform to job hunt and I don't have to open 10 websites just to look for a job. It has also helped me focus much on the job skill and the location filtering out the onsite jobs and remote ones. The only feature that I would request is to display fully remote jobs that are not restricted to a country since the one available shows ie, Remote, US yet. But if it could show remote only, that would be helpful not only to me but to other people applying for full remote and not tied to only US candidates

I found EchoJobs in 2022, and I love it. It has a lot of remote jobs. It's exclusive to software and technology jobs (helpful for devs like me). What I like the most are its filters and its API. If you're a tech professional seeking remote work, I highly recommend giving it a try to EchoJobs.

Best wishes with EchoJobs—it's become my favorite job board overnight!

Simply put, it's the most up to date tech jobs aggregator I’ve found. I'm like... "I don't have to check 10+ jobs boards daily just to see if there's a new job listing? sign me up!" The filters are also quite helpful! The UI is very clean and straightforward. Love it!
