Fintech Engineers Who Know the Domain
Finding developers who can write clean code is easy. Finding ones who understand PCI DSS scoping, double-entry ledger design, and why you can't just retry a failed payment without idempotency keys — that's the hard part. We've already vetted them.
Why Hire Specialized Fintech Developers?
Financial software has zero tolerance for the kind of bugs that other industries shrug off. A race condition in a social media app means a user sees a stale post. A race condition in a payment system means someone gets charged twice. Fintech developers need domain expertise that goes beyond code quality — they need to understand financial protocols (FIX, ISO 8583, ACH file formats), compliance frameworks (PCI DSS, SOC 2, AML/KYC), and the operational realities of systems that process real money 24/7.
- Domain expertise in banking, payments, trading, and compliance systems
- Familiarity with PCI DSS, SOC 2, and financial regulatory requirements
- Experience with financial protocols: FIX, SWIFT, ACH, SEPA, ISO 20022
- Track record of building systems that handle money without losing it
The Fintech Skills We Staff For
Specialized talent across the full spectrum of financial technology development.
Payment System Engineers
Developers who've built PCI DSS compliant payment flows, integrated with processors (Stripe, Adyen, FIS), and designed tokenization systems. They know the difference between auth-capture and sale transactions.
Core Banking Developers
Engineers experienced with ledger systems, double-entry accounting, and core banking platforms (Mambu, Temenos, Thought Machine). They understand eventual consistency in financial systems and why it's terrifying.
Trading System Engineers
Developers with FIX protocol experience, low-latency optimization skills, and market data processing expertise. C++, Java, and Python for the full trading technology stack from execution to analytics.
Compliance & Security Engineers
Engineers who build AML/KYC systems, transaction monitoring rules, and regulatory reporting automation. They understand BSA requirements, FATF recommendations, and how to reduce false positives without missing real threats.
Open Banking & API Developers
Specialists in PSD2 compliance, Plaid integration, account aggregation, and API gateway design for financial data. OAuth 2.0, FAPI security profiles, and consent management expertise.
Blockchain & DeFi Engineers
Solidity and Rust developers with smart contract security expertise, DeFi protocol experience, and understanding of gas optimization. They know why reentrancy guards exist and audit their own code before auditors do.
When to Hire Fintech Developers Through Us
Common scenarios where specialized fintech talent makes the difference.
Scaling an Existing Fintech Team
Your team knows the product but needs more hands for a big release, compliance deadline, or market expansion. We add 2-5 developers who can contribute from week one because they already understand financial systems. No three-month ramp-up period.
Building a New Fintech Product
You have the business idea and funding but need the technical team. We assemble a full squad — backend, frontend, DevOps, and QA — with fintech domain experience. The team structure scales as your product moves from MVP to growth.
Compliance & Audit Projects
You need engineers who can implement specific compliance requirements before an examination or partner bank audit. Short-term engagements focused on AML system deployment, PCI DSS remediation, or SOC 2 evidence collection.
Legacy System Modernization
Migrating from COBOL core banking to modern APIs, replacing legacy payment switches, or rebuilding monolithic trading systems into microservices. We staff engineers who understand both the old and new technology stacks.
How We Match You with Fintech Developers
A hiring process designed to get qualified developers working on your project in under two weeks.
Technical Requirements Scoping
We identify the specific fintech skills you need — not just programming languages, but domain knowledge. Building a payment gateway requires different expertise than building a trading platform. We define the profile precisely.
Candidate Selection from Vetted Pool
We maintain a pre-vetted pool of fintech developers. Every candidate has passed technical assessments covering financial system design, security practices, and compliance awareness. We select 3-5 candidates matching your specific requirements.
Technical Interview & Domain Assessment
You interview candidates directly. We provide domain-specific interview questions covering financial protocols, compliance frameworks, and system design scenarios relevant to your project. No generic coding puzzles.
Onboarding & Security Clearance
Selected developers complete your security onboarding — background checks, NDA execution, and access provisioning. For PCI DSS environments, we ensure developers understand CDE access restrictions and secure coding requirements.
Embedded Team Integration
Developers join your daily standups, use your tools, and follow your processes. Weekly check-ins with our delivery manager ensure performance stays high. Swap or scale the team as your project needs change.
