Good backend engineers with experience in payments, card schemes, or settlements are usually part of a limited talent pool. We map the market, approach relevant engineers directly, and set a realistic search timeline from the start.

Licensed fintechs need clear evidence of qualifications, experience and residency for money laundering, compliance, risk and security-critical roles. We check each point early and present candidates who meet the role and regulatory requirements.

Book a free consultationTalentHub recruits both regulated and technical fintech roles in Europe. Regulated and risk roles include Heads of Compliance, MLROs, AML and KYC analysts, financial crime and fraud specialists, and credit risk managers. Technical roles include backend engineers working in Java, Go, Kotlin and .NET, payments and core banking integration engineers, data scientists building scoring and fraud models, security engineers and CISOs.
Our strongest coverage is across EU/EEA jurisdictions where we're well-versed in the compliance and hiring nuances that come with each: different employment law regimes, works councils in some countries, data residency rules that matter for fintech specifically, and the local salary/benefits benchmarks.
Our recruiters aren't the ones assessing depth, they shouldn't be, and any agency claiming their recruiters can evaluate cryptographic implementation quality is overselling. What we do is triage and structure: identifying candidates whose actual work history shows exposure to these problem spaces (e.g., built ledger reconciliation systems, worked on consensus protocols, owned PCI-DSS-scoped infrastructure) rather than just people who list the buzzword.
