About Seapoint
Seapoint is building the financial home for European startups and scale-ups. We're an AI-powered business account that handles everything from payroll and expenses to invoice payments and reporting - all in one place.
Founded by Sean Mullaney (former European CIO at Stripe) and a team of alumni from Stripe, Wise, Wayflyer, Nubank and Tide, we've just raised $3M in pre-seed funding led by Frontline Ventures. After 9 months of building, we're now in private beta with dozens of VC-backed startups who are finally getting the bird's-eye view of their finances they've always needed.
The problem we're solving is real: European startups are stuck between neobanks (too small) and traditional corporate banking (too big). They're juggling 4-6 different financial products, running processes manually, and earning no interest on cash deposits. We're changing that with AI automation that handles the tedious financial work, so founders can focus on building their businesses instead of managing spreadsheets.

About the role
Build the financial infrastructure that powers the next generation of startups.
You'll architect core systems for multi-currency accounts, automated payments, and treasury management—technology that high-growth companies depend on to scale. Working with modern distributed systems, you'll tackle complex financial challenges while ensuring the reliability and security our users trust.
We're looking for engineers with varying backgrounds who are passionate about building something new. You'll work alongside ex-founders and veterans from Stripe, Wise, and Tide who understand what startups need to scale.
Languages and frameworks can be learnt, but if you’re curious we use a modern typescript and bun backed stack with postgreSQL and a bunch of AWS services. We are always curious about new ways of building software and embrace AI tools.
Note: Open to candidates authorised to work in Ireland/UK. Exceptional remote candidates across Europe considered.
Requirements
