Description
Xe is a cross-border payments platform. We help SMEs and consumers in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand collect, convert, hold, and send money across markets. Each year, over 300 million people use Xe for currency information and over 350,000 use us to send money overseas.
Today, we're rebuilding the platform layer behind cross-border payments for corporate and consumer clients. We're small enough that your code ships fast and your decisions matter, and Euronet Worldwide (Nasdaq: EEFT) backs us so the problems stay real-scale.
We're hiring a mid-level back-end engineer who likes owning real problems end-to-end, from API design and data modeling through to service implementation, production reliability, and launch. You already use AI as part of how you think, build, test, and ship.
You'll write code that moves money in production, build and modernize the backend services the platform runs on, and ship new capability as Xe rebuilds its platform layer. You'll work in a small team with direct access to product, compliance, and operations, own your services in production, and partner with architects and team leads on bigger design decisions.

Build backend services that move money and manage multi-currency balances across a range of domains, including onboarding, KYC and KYB, payment initiation, FX, settlement, and other supporting services.
-
Partner with product, compliance, and operations from problem framing through launch.
-
Build and operate the partner integrations and settlement infrastructure your services depend on.
-
Own your services in production, including reliability, observability, on-call, and incident response.
