Back End Developer

A private fintech startup has developed a platform enabling e-commerce sites to offer customers a variety of payment methods, including checkouts, bank transfers, or credit cards with flexible payment terms, and receive instant payments. The technology also allows traditional industries, including food, wood, chemicals, steel, and textiles, to transition to an e-commerce model similar to the consumer market and benefit from the advantages of broad online sales.

The company is based in Tel Aviv and follows a hybrid model of three days in the office and two days remote. They employ around 47 employees in Israel and another 10 in the US and Canada.

To date, after Series B funding, they have raised approximately $87 million (with $56 million raised in the last Series B round).
