We're a fast-growing fintech startup building the only truly cross-border banking platform. We help businesses seamlessly manage money around the world so they can access more markets, accelerate their growth, and simplify their operations. We're looking for ambitious people to join our mission.
We're looking for engineers with a product mindset - people who think about the user's problem first, not just the component they're building. You'll work directly with stakeholders, make trade-off decisions, and own outcomes, not just output.
About the RoleHi, I'm Yan, Head of Engineering at Loop, and I'm hiring a Senior Backend Developer to architect and build our payment platform and financial ledger system. In this role, you'll build the systems that move money - the foundation everything else depends on.
This role is an onsite position at our downtown Toronto office (Bay and Bloor).
Why We ExistSmall businesses have been underserved by traditional banks. Most businesses operate globally, yet moving money across borders is still painfully hard. Banking fees are opaque, while the process and time to send or receive money internationally is decades old. The tools offered to businesses are only suitable for companies with finance and treasury teams of 20.
Loop exists to change that.
We're building the banking infrastructure for businesses that operate globally by default. Multi-currency accounts. Seamless international payments. Modern systems to manage company finances. The things that should have existed years ago.
What You'll Be DoingBuild and support our Payment Infrastructure with strict data integrityWork in a cross-country environment handling data segregation and legal compliance across jurisdictionsImplement workflow orchestration with Temporal.io for complex payment flows and system consistencyWork directly with stakeholders to understand problems and define solutionsMake informed technical decisions that balance user needs, business goals, and engineering constraintsBuild integrations with banking partners and payment processorsDesign for fault-tolerance, recovery, and comprehensive audit trailsDevelop end-to-end features that help businesses manage money across borders" as the first bullet. Makes it clear they're building product, not just infrastructureWhat We're Looking For5+ years backend development, 3+ years in financial systemsDeep understanding of financial ledgers and double-entry bookkeepingExperience with event sourcing, CQRS, and message brokers (especially Kafka)Distributed systems expertise - consistency, availability, fault toleranceProduct mindset - you care about the problem you're solving, not just the system you're buildingYou think about what happens when things go wrongBonus: Temporal.io, event architecture, regulatory knowledge, SWIFT/SEPA/Fedwire familiarity.
What Does It Take to Be a Looper?Loop is not for everyone. And that's intentional.
We're building the financial infrastructure that helps businesses move money across borders — and we move fast. We take ownership and trust each other to get things done. From day one, your impact will be felt immediately.
And because of that, we need builders. People with grit who take full ownership, thrive in fast moving environments and are comfortable figuring things out as they go.
If that sounds like you, we want to hear your story.
What we offerSalary range CAD$140,000 to CAD$170,000 base annual, commensurate with experienceEquity ranging 0.01-0.1%3 weeks vacation Enrollment in group's health benefits after probation period This role is onsite in our downtown Toronto officeKitchen full of snacks and drinks to keep you going throughout the dayCatered lunch on Fridays (we take recommendations!)The ChallengeBefore we talk, show us how you think:
A batch of cross-border payments settles overnight. In the morning, reconciliation shows discrepancies: some transactions are off by pennies, others by dollars. The total doesn't match what we expected after FX conversion.
In under 500 words, walk us through how you'd investigate this. What are the likely causes? What data would you look at first? How would you design systems to prevent or catch this earlier?
