London Full-Time No working from home possible
Finchly

I am building a biometric‐first fintech solution designed to enable seamless, secure transactions without the need for phones, cards, or any physical device. The vision is a future where identity itself becomes the payment method. The startup is currently at the idea stage, and I am looking for a CTO or founding engineer to partner with me in bringing this concept to life. You will lead the technical execution while we shape the product direction together. I bring the vision, strategy, and business direction; you bring the technical expertise to turn that vision into a real, scalable product. This is a collaborative founding role where your input will meaningfully influence the product, but the direction is shared.
Responsibilities Lead technical strategy, architecture, and early engineering decisions
Build and iterate on the MVP (backend, mobile, or full‐stack depending on your strengths)
Develop secure biometric authentication flows and identity‐based transaction systems
Explore and integrate technologies that enable phone‐free, device‐free payments
Collaborate closely with me on product decisions, user experience, and roadmap
Qualifications & Experience Strong engineering background (backend, full‐stack, mobile, or ML/biometrics)
Experience with authentication, security, or fintech systems is a major advantage
Ability to build fast, test hypotheses, and iterate
Curiosity about biometrics, identity, and frictionless financial experiences
A collaborative mindset and desire to join a founding team
Benefits & Equity Significant equity and meaningful ownership
A true partnership where your technical leadership is valued
The opportunity to help define a new category of biometric‐driven financial technology
The chance to build a breakthrough fintech product from zero
A partnership with a founder focused on vision, strategy, and business development
