Backend Engineer
Fuse Financial Technologies
Fuse is on a mission to bring real time cross border payments to the Middle East and Asia, helping global businesses to access the region without changing their payment stack. We believe MENA presents one of the most exciting payment opportunities in the world today - as one of the most financially isolated but fastest growing markets globally, the region is evolving fast and Fuse is providing the infrastructure required to keep up.
To date we've raised over $8.6mn to help us radically change how money moves in and out of MENA, from some of the best investors including Northzone, Flourish, Raba, and Alter Global. With our head office in Dubai, we're trusted by payment companies and enterprise businesses all over the world to provide the crucial infrastructure for money movement in the region. Processing payments to contractors on Deel, hosts on Airbnb, sellers on Etsy, and many more global brands is just the beginning.
We're looking for people that love what they do and are passionate about making local payments accessible to brands all over the world.
The role
As a key player on our team, you'll have the chance to make a big impact on our Fuse payments product. We're eager to find someone who's enthusiastic about jumping into new challenges and learning on the go. Got a talent for quickly picking up different programming languages and love the energy of a small, dynamic team? You're the kind of person we're looking for. In our startup, adaptability and a hands-on approach are highly valued.
We're ideally looking for someone with a robust understanding of distributed systems, whether it's through direct hands-on experience or solid foundational knowledge. Being comfortable in the ever-changing landscape of a startup is crucial, and if you have any background in the payments domain, that's a plus. But more than anything, it's your willingness to learn and grow with us that really counts.
In our tech stack, we primarily use Rust for backend development and Postgres for our database needs. While we're currently hosted on AWS, we're open to exploring other hosting solutions as we expand and tailor our product to the region's needs.
