The Role
We're looking for an engineer with fintech and payments experience to join our core engineering team. You'll design, build, and operate systems that transform legacy payment infrastructure across our portfolio of acquired businesses—replacing correspondent banking with stablecoin rails, building APIs that connect to core banking systems, and creating internal tools that power our acquisition and transformation process.
This is a hands-on, full-stack role. You'll write code across the entire stack, evaluate legacy systems during technical due diligence, and own critical integrations end-to-end. You'll work at the intersection of traditional financial infrastructure and decentralized finance, building solutions that are reliable, scalable, and pragmatic.
What You'll Do:
Design and build payment processing, settlement, and reconciliation systems that operate at scale across acquired businesses
Conduct technical due diligence on acquisition targets—evaluate their existing payment stacks, infrastructure dependencies, and integration requirements
Build full-stack tools and dashboards for internal operations, portfolio monitoring, and deal analysis
Own integrations with core banking systems (Fiserv, Jack Henry, FIS) and modern payment rails (FedNow, SWIFT, stablecoin networks)
Develop proof-of-concepts that demonstrate how blockchain infrastructure can replace legacy correspondent banking
Write and review technical designs and production code; own system reliability, observability, and incident response
Collaborate across product, operations, legal, and business teams to ensure technical solutions meet regulatory and commercial requirements
Contribute technical insights to investment decisions and inform our technology roadmap
What We're Looking For:
4+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 2 years building payments, billing, or financial infrastructure systems
Fintech experience: You've worked at a modern fintech company that balances new technology with legacy banking system integration
Strong proficiency in full-stack development - comfortable building APIs, databases, and user interfaces
Experience with payment system design, including understanding of settlement, reconciliation, and regulatory requirements
Ability to quickly understand and work with unfamiliar legacy systems and evaluate third-party infrastructure
Experience setting and maintaining engineering best practices: testing, code review, CI/CD, and incident management
Excellent communication skills - able to engage with business stakeholders and articulate technical trade-offs clearly
Preferred Qualifications:
Direct experience building on or integrating with blockchains and stablecoins
Background in technical due diligence or evaluating/integrating third-party systems
Experience with bank core system integrations (Plaid-style connectivity, direct APIs to banking platforms)
Deep knowledge of cross-border payments, FX settlement, or correspondent banking
Experience migrating or re-platforming legacy financial systems
Background in fast-paced, early-stage environments where you've worn multiple hats
Compensation:
Inversion offers a competitive compensation package, including base salary and discretionary bonuses. The role provides significant potential for asymmetric upside, especially for individuals who are passionate about driving innovation in the blockchain and payments space.
