Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa BVNK Group Full time

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.

We're incredibly honored to have made Newsweek's list of The Top 100 Most Loved Workplace 2 years running (2023 and 2024) and to have been recognised by LinkedIn as one of the Top 20 Startups in the UK in 2024.

At BVNK we strive to create an environment where people are empowered, and being recognised at number 25 on the list is a nice reminder that we're on the right track.

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

About this role in the team:

We're looking for a talented Blockchain Engineer 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:

  1. Collaborate with our product team to iterate fast and deliver results
  2. Translate from technical to non-technical with stakeholders across the business
  3. Advocate for the simplest but most effective approach in everything we do
  4. Develop future-proof products, focusing on delivering quality code consistently and efficiently.
  5. 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:

  1. Proven experience as a Blockchain Developer in a similar role
  2. Expertise working with Blockchains and smart contracts on EVM chains including
  3. Staking
  4. Interacting with bridges
  5. Interacting with DeFi smart contracts (eg Uniswap)
  6. Experience on Solana and Tron preferable
  7. Experience in writing custom smart contracts
  8. Expertise in Java and Spring Boot is a plus
  9. Excellent problem-solving skills, able to work independently or in a team.
  10. Good understanding of financial services
  11. Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  12. Are data-driven, using analytical skills to make pragmatic decisions

What you can expect from us:

  1. Fair and competitive salary at every stage of your growth
  2. Meaningful ownership in the business through our employee option scheme
  3. Flexible working hours, with hybrid working at its heart
  4. A culture built on passionate growth-minded people
  5. A flexible approach to holiday
  6. Opportunities to travel to our offices around the world, in locations such as London and Cape Town, to collaborate with your colleagues
  7. 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.
