You'll join a thrilling and motivating environment where you'll learn a lot and have a lot of freedom and responsibilities to express your talent.

Our HQ is located in the heart of Paris, but we set up Finary as a hybrid remote company from the start. Our talented team is currently based in France and across Europe.

At Finary, you’ll enjoy:

  • Working with brilliant people in a super motivating and fast-moving environment

  • Meal vouchers

To sum it up, we are looking for builders who want to do hard (but highly rewarding) projects, have grit, and are at ease in highly evolving (and unstable) environments, doing whatever it takes to forge our vision into existence.

You'll join a winning team, learn insanely, earn life-changing money, and work with other A+ players.
