Looking to join an emerging leader in the UK FinTech industry? It's such an exciting time to be joining Vitesse!



Created by a team of proven FinTech entrepreneurs in 2016, Vitesse PSP has recently closed a $92m Series-C funding round. Now having established revenue streams and a differentiated position in key segments we have embarked on a journey to double our revenue in each of the next three to four years. We employ around 180 colleagues across the EU with hubs in London and Rotterdam, with plans to expand into the US this year. In 2024, we plan to scale our product and platform engineering team further to take advantage of the market opportunity across Europe and position us to enter the US.



Our existing solution allows us to operate one of the largest domestic banking and payment networks in the world, from our UK regulated business, giving our customers direct access to more than 100 countries' banking networks, supporting over 60 currencies. Through a single integration, merchants gain access to in-country payment routing, resulting in significantly lower payment costs and much faster delivery. To date, we have processed over £3bn across more than 3 million transactions and are looking to more than double volumes each year. We have paired this network with treasury capabilities to create a compelling offering targeted at the insurance vertical.

We now need to rapidly scale-out our engineering capability to build a global version of this platform that supports multiple regulatory hubs and points of origination.

THE CURRENT TEAM AND OUR MISSION

As a scale up, the engineering organisation will grow considerably by end FY24/25. To start, we adapted an existing platform to address a new market opportunity and prove our commercial thesis. With this achieved, we secured funding to support our expansion and have embarked on an ambitious scaling of our product engineering team that will rapidly evolve our platform using the latest cloud-native and full-stack technologies to achieve a leadership position in our selected markets. We seek ambitious product engineers (not just software developers) with experience in cloud-native approaches that can shape our platform strategy and accelerate our product development plans.

THE ROLE

As a Full Stack Product Engineer at Vitesse PSP, you will play a pivotal role in developing new product solutions and features within our modern product squad.

You will work closely with the product owner, lead engineers, stakeholders, and customers to refine requirements and deliver high-quality solutions. Your contributions will enhance our cloud-based treasury management system, fostering rapid innovation and improving both user experience and platform capabilities.

As an experienced or senior engineer, you are expected to work independently, delivering high-quality solutions to our stakeholders. Within a squad environment, you will translate complex requirements into engineered solutions. Joining a team of ambitious product experts, your contribution will be pivotal in establishing a world-class engineering organization and cementing our leadership in the marketplace.
