## Job description

## OVERVIEW

[Formance](https://www.formance.com) builds programmable financial infrastructure. Our open-source ledger helps engineering teams model, track, and reconcile money movements across financial products, from payment platforms to fintech applications and digital-asset businesses. Financial infrastructure requires precision. Teams need to understand where money is, how it moves, and whether their systems reflect what actually happened. We build the tools to help them answer those questions.

## YOUR ROLE

We’re looking for a Solutions Engineer with a strong technical foundation and experience in fintech or payments to join our team. You’ll work with prospective customers to understand their architecture, map their financial flows, and demonstrate how Formance fits their requirements. You’ll partner closely with our sales, product, and engineering teams throughout the evaluation process. This role combines technical depth with commercial judgment. You should be comfortable building a proof of concept, discussing architectural tradeoffs with an engineer, and explaining the business implications to a founder.

## WHAT YOU’LL DO

- Lead technical discovery with engineering and product teams to understand their financial workflows, constraints, and evaluation criteria.
- Build tailored demos and proofs of concept using Formance’s APIs and tooling.
- Guide technical evaluations, investigate questions, and help prospects assess product fit.
- Partner with sales to connect technical capabilities to business needs and move opportunities forward.
- Bring customer feedback to product and engineering, with concrete examples of gaps and recurring needs.

## REQUIREMENTS

- Experience in fintech, payments, banking infrastructure, or digital-asset infrastructure. You understand how money moves through a financial product and the operational challenges involved.
- A strong technical foundation. You can work with APIs, read and write code, debug integrations, and reason about data models and system architecture.
- Experience working directly with customers, through solutions engineering, solutions architecture, technical consulting, or an engineering role with significant customer exposure.
- The ability to ask precise questions, uncover requirements, and explain complex concepts clearly.
- Commercial judgment: you understand how a technical evaluation contributes to a buying decision.
- A hands-on approach and the ability to work independently in a small team.
- Strong written and spoken English, with the ability to lead technical conversations with international customers.

Useful additional experience

- Working with ledgers, double-entry accounting, reconciliation, or payment orchestration.
- Supporting technical evaluations for API-first or developer-facing products.
- Building financial workflows involving multiple currencies, payment providers, or digital assets.
- Turning recurring customer questions into reusable demos, documentation, or tools.

WHY JOIN FORMANCE? You’ll work directly with teams building financial products and help them make consequential infrastructure decisions. You’ll have ownership of technical evaluations, close access to product and engineering, and the opportunity to shape how we demonstrate and explain Formance. Your work will influence both customer decisions and the product we build.

## BENEFITS

- Flexible remote work policy
- Health insurance: Alan Blue, with your partner and dependent children covered at no cost from day one.
- Meal vouchers: €10 per day worked, with 55% covered by Formance.
- Equipment: A MacBook from day one, plus a €500 onboarding budget for your workspace equipment.
- Parenthood support: Formance maintains 100% of your salary during the first month of additional birth leave.
- Company offsite: An annual company offsite, fully organized and covered by Formance.

## About Formance

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Formance builds open-source, programmable financial infrastructure that unifies fiat and digital assets, enabling companies to model complex money flows with full auditability.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A)
- **Headquarters**: New York City, United States
- **Founded**: 2021
- **Founders**: Clément Salaün (Co-Founder, CEO) and Anne-Sybille Pradelles (Co-Founder)

## Core Business
- Primary industry: Financial Infrastructure / Fintech / Software Development
- Target customers: Digital asset companies, neobanks, payment platforms, vertical SaaS platforms, and regulated financial institutions (B2B, Enterprise)
- Mission: To redefine how developers interact with money as a first-class primitive, and embed complex money flows in their applications.

## Products & Services
- **[Ledger]**: An open-source, programmable core ledger that uses Numscript, a purpose-built language, to create complex transaction models (multi-party splits, hold-and-release flows) with double-entry precision and immutability.
- **[Connectivity]**: A unified API that ingests transactions and account balances across bank accounts, payment rails, wallets, exchanges, and custodians, abstracting them into a single data model.
- **[Reconciliation]**: An automated tool that compares internal ledger data against external bank statements and PSP reports to detect data drifts and settlement errors instantly.
- **[Flows]**: An automation engine that chains workflows (e.g., holding funds, waiting for KYC checks, triggering payouts) to manage the end-to-end lifecycle of funds.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed
- **Key Metric**: $30.8M in total funding
- **Funding Rounds**:
  - Pre-Seed (Aug 2021): $125K (3 investors)
  - Pre-Seed (Jun 2022): $3.1M (led by Hoxton Ventures, Frst)
  - Venture Round (Dec 2023): $6.6M
  - Series A (Jan 2025): $21M (led by Portage3 Ventures with PayPal Ventures as a key investor)
- **Estimated Annual Revenue**: $1.0M (as per LinkedIn data; likely early stage)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: PayPal Ventures, Portage3 Ventures, Hoxton Ventures, Y Combinator (S21)
- **Growth Signals**: 59.4% headcount growth year-over-year (to ~36 employees), operates in 8 countries (France, US, UK, Italy, Portugal, Belgium, Ireland, Sweden), consistently hiring (5 open roles, +66.7% YoY job posting growth).

## Competitive Advantages
- **Open-source core ledger**: Provides transparency, community support, and avoids vendor lock-in, allowing customers to deploy in their own cloud.
- **Programmable financial logic**: Numscript language enables complex, custom money flows that are harder to replicate with traditional ledgers.
- **Regulatory-grade compliance**: SOC 2 Type II certified, ISO 27001 certified, and DORA compliant (EU operational-resilience standards), trusted by regulated institutions.
- **Unified data model**: Connectivity abstracts multiple providers into a single standard, reducing integration complexity.
- **Immutable & auditable**: All transactions are recorded immutably, providing end-to-end traceability that simplifies audits.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scaling the team**: Currently hiring for key roles including Head of Finance, Senior Account Executives, and Business Development Representatives, indicating a focus on commercial growth.
- **Deepening compliance**: Continued investment in security certifications (SOC 2, ISO 27001) and regulatory compliance (DORA) to serve enterprise and regulated clients.
- **Product expansion**: Building out Flows and Reconciliation to provide an end-to-end financial operations platform beyond the core ledger.
- **Market expansion**: Operating across EMEA and the US, with plans to capture more market share in the hybrid economy of fiat and digital assets.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Emphasizes in-person collaboration ("fully on-site at our New York office"), believing it drives better decisions, faster iteration, and stronger team cohesion.
- **Diversity & Inclusion**: Has a dedicated diversity and inclusion staff, a highly diverse management team, and mandates unconscious bias training.
- **Perks**: Offers health/dental insurance, company equity, performance bonuses, FSA, free snacks/drinks, and well-designed office spaces with quiet and collaboration zones.
- **Engineering focus**: Product + Tech employees make up 80% of the workforce; engineering teams get to work with open-source technologies and shape core financial infrastructure.
- **Growth & development**: Provides structured onboarding, job training, conferences, apprenticeship programs, and consistent manager feedback loops.
- **Headcount growth**: 59.4% YoY, signaling a fast-scaling environment with opportunities for impact.
