First Circle is the fastest growing fintech in the Philippines - we are evolving from a single-product company providing credit to SMEs, to a multi-product company providing Neobanking solutions, and we are hiring a Senior .NET developer to lead the building of one of our key products, Cards, that is crucial to our SME customers.
What’s different about engineering at First Circle?
- Building in developing markets like the Philippines presents unique challenges, given the state of digital infrastructure. We are building virtually everything in-house, which is not easy, but its a lot of fun. We have a track record of solving seemingly impossible problems that defeated many other start-ups, and the opportunity ahead remains enormous.
- We already have a core product that customers love - this is a unique opportunity to do zero-to-one building in a company that has already got a track record of delivering great things.
- Our team loves working together. No politics, just building. It matters.
- Our engineers are exceptional - they don’t just write code, they take away pain and spark joy for our colleagues and customers. They create moments that make people say 'wow'. They are the fintech revolution. Join today, become part of this unique team, and build something you can be proud of.
