Senior Backend Engineer

BVNK was founded to fill an important gap in the cryptocurrency market. The growth of the crypto market has almost entirely been driven by retail investors and only recently have institutional investors come to the table, however this has led to a huge gap in the market where solutions are designed for small retail investors and large institutions but not the mid-market corporate that wants to take advantage of digital assets.

We’ve built a banking platform based entirely on digital assets, designed specifically for UK and European Corporates, SPVs and high net worth individuals. BVNK allows corporates to send and accept both local and cross border payments, earn high yield on all assets held on the platform, and access crypto markets via our trading platform, OTC desk, and lending desk.

If you’re looking to join a high growth scale-up, defining a new space in a constantly changing industry, BVNK could be a great fit for you. For more information, please visit www.bvnk.com.
