Description For Founding Engineer

Kontigo is seeking a Founding Engineer to join their team in building a USDC-Smart Neobank for Latinos. This role requires a founder mindset, as emphasized by the quote: "Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in event of success."

The tech stack for this position includes:

  • Next.js for web development
  • React Native for app development
  • Supabase, Firebase, and Prisma for database management
  • Nest.js for WhatsApp integration
  • OpenAI and Anthropic APIs for AI agents
  • Solidity and web3.js for Smart contracts
  • Extensive use of TypeScript

As a Founding Engineer, you'll be working on a cutting-edge project that aims to provide a stable currency platform with global access, specifically tailored for the Latino community. This role offers an opportunity to make a significant impact in the fintech space and contribute to financial inclusion.

The position requires at least 3 years of experience and offers a competitive salary range of $40K - $120K, along with equity options of 0.50% - 2.50%. The work style is flexible, with options for remote work or being based in San Francisco.

Join Kontigo's small but growing team of 10, founded in 2023, and work directly with the founders, including CEO & Co-founder Jesus Alberto Castillo Ferrer and Co-founder Gino Guatavita. This is an excellent opportunity for a skilled engineer looking to take on a challenging and potentially rewarding role in a startup environment.
