About us:

We believe the next generation of financial services will be powered by stablecoins.

Founded in 2021, our mission at BVNK is to accelerate global money movement.

We’re building stablecoin-native infrastructure so businesses can move value instantly across borders and networks. With global licenses and T1 bank partnerships, we facilitate billions in transactions for enterprise clients like Worldpay, Deel, LianLian Global, and Rapyd.

Our technology is transforming how businesses operate globally by eliminating payment delays, reducing costs, and unlocking trapped capital. 

We’re a diverse team spread across EMEA, North America, and APAC, with a shared belief that stablecoins are the new infrastructure layer for financial services, and that BVNK is at the forefront of this shift.

In 2025, we secured strategic investment from Visa, following our $50 million Series B with Haun Ventures, Coinbase Ventures, Scribble Ventures, DRW Venture Capital, Avenir, and Tiger Global. With the backing of these leading investors, we’re accelerating our growth – and we're looking for smart, ambitious people to help us build the future of financial services.

We're incredibly honored to have made Newsweek's list of The Top 100 Global Most Loved Workplaces three years running (most recently in 2025) and to have been recognised by LinkedIn as one of the Top 20 Startups in the UK in 2024

About this role in the team:

We are looking for a QA Engineer who views AI as their primary leverage. At BVNK, we aren't just looking for someone to maintain scripts; we want an engineer who views manual, repetitive testing as a problem to be solved with intelligent agents.

You will join a team of Quality Assurance experts responsible for the end-to-end integrity of our Fiat and Crypto products. Your mission is to evolve our testing from "automated" to "autonomous." You will build intelligent testing systems that predict failures, self-heal scripts, and utilize LLMs to bridge the gap between complex financial requirements and bulletproof code.

Key Areas of Responsibilities:

• AI-First Framework Evolution: Architect and maintain automation frameworks that prioritize AI-powered solutions for test generation, execution, and self-healing.
• Autonomous Quality Gates: Implement AI-driven gates in our CI/CD pipeline to predict regression risks before code is even merged.
• Synthetic Data Strategy: Leverage Generative AI to create complex, high-integrity test data sets for diverse global payment scenarios.
• Intelligent Observability: Use AI to analyze logs and system behavior, providing insights that traditional testing tools miss.
• Mentorship & AI Evangelism: Act as the subject matter expert on emerging AI tools (Claude Code, LangChain) to upskill the broader QA team.

What we need from you:

• AI-Native Mindset: You are an early adopter of LLMs and agentic workflows. You don't just use AI to write snippets; you use it to architect solutions.
• Technical Core: Expert-level proficiency in Python (our primary language) and the ability to navigate Java environments.
• Modern Tooling: Hands-on experience with PyTest, Playwright, and K6.
• Engineering for AI: Demonstrated experience implementing AI solutions for test case generation and automated bug triaging.
• Infrastructure Fluency: Familiarity with CI/CD concepts and desire to understand the integration of AI-driven testing into the deployment lifecycle.
• Precision & Speed: Exceptional attention to detail with the ability to move fast in a rapidly evolving FinTech environment.
• Bonus: LLM Integration: Experience building custom GPTs or using LangChain/LangSmith/LangGraf to evaluate LLM-based product features.
• Bonus: FinTech & Crypto: Previous experience in payments, stablecoins, or blockchain technology.
• Bonus: Agentic Testing: Experience experimenting with autonomous agents for exploratory testing.

What you can expect from us:

• Fair and competitive salary at every stage of your growth
• Meaningful ownership in the business through our employee option scheme
• Flexible working hours, with hybrid working at its heart
• A culture built on passionate growth-minded people
• A flexible approach to holiday
• Opportunities to travel to our offices around the world
• An open and creative environment where you can help us define the future of BVNK, its culture, and its opportunity sets

At BVNK, we are focused on building a diverse and inclusive team. While you may not meet all of our requirements, we’d encourage you to apply if you meet the majority of our expectations. You may be a great fit for this role or another role in our team.

Why Join Us?

We value engineers who treat code as a craft. You’ll have the autonomy to choose the right tools for the job, the environment of equality and open collaboration, the support to grow professionally, and plenty of tasks to challenge yourself.

Your Role at impact.com:

We are looking for a Senior Node.js Engineer who doesn't just write code but actually enjoys the craft of programming. We need a proactive problem-solver - someone who treats failing code as a captivating puzzle to be solved and fixed before it impacts the user experience.

Our core product relies on a sophisticated ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) engine that pulls data from a dizzying array of external sources.

If you can find fun in reverse-engineering a complex API, building a crawler that can dance around obstacles, or optimizing the pipeline so that it can handle massive volumes you’ll fit right in.

What You'll Do:

• Architect & Build: Develop robust, scalable integrations using Node.js and TypeScript.
• The ETL Engine: Maintain and optimize the core of the ETL engine to ensure resiliency, high throughput and data integrity.
• Data Scavenging: Design and implement crawlers and API consumers that interface with diverse external systems.
• Dev On-Call: Participate in a shared on-call rotation. You’ll monitor system health, respond to alerts, and perform "surgery" on production issues when things go sideways.
• Quality First: Always looking for ways to improve and ensure the quality of our data.
• Mentorship: Lead by example in code reviews and architectural discussions, fostering a culture of technical excellence.

Who You Are:

• Pro-active: You don’t wait for a spec to be 100% perfect if you see a way to make the system better today.
• Tech Obsessed: You actually care about the stack. You follow the latest releases, you have opinions on tools, and you’re always looking for a more efficient way of working.
• Resilient: You understand that in the world of third-party integrations, things are unpredictable and unreliable. You enjoy the challenge of building "self-healing" systems.

What You Bring:

• Language Mastery: Deep expertise in Node.js and TypeScript.
• Data Engineering: Experience building data-processing/streaming processes, handling large datasets, and managing data schema evolution.
• Observability: Good understanding of OpenTelemetry, all types of observability signals and experience working with them.
• Cloud Native: Hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) (GKE, KMS, Google Cloud Storage, Secret Manager).
• Testing Rigor: A "test-first" mindset with experience in frameworks like Jest, Vitest and Playwright.
• Collaboration: Good understanding of GitHub workflows (PRs, Actions, Issues)

Benefits and Perks: 

At impact.com, we believe that when you’re happy and fulfilled, you do your best work. That’s why we’ve built a benefits package that supports your well-being, growth, and work-life balance.

• Insurance coverage (life, short-term disability, long-term disability, and more)
• Health Care Spending Account
• Two different Employee Assistance Programs
• Flexible Working: Our Responsible PTO policy means you can take the time off you need to rest and recharge. We're committed to a positive work-life balance and provide a flexible environment that allows you to be happy and fulfilled in both your career and your personal life.
