Junior Engineer

About the role

First Circle is the fastest growing fintech in the Philippines - we are evolving from a single-product company providing credit to SMEs, to a multi-product company providing Neobanking solutions, and we are hiring a new batch of junior software engineers to help us build all the awesome products that SME owners are asking for.

We are looking for the best young engineers in the country to join our team to ride the fintech wave with a company that has been changing the game for 8 years and counting.

What’s different about engineering at First Circle?

• Engineers are given personal responsibility to solve real problems in our business from the day they join. That means starting small, and quickly growing into leading hugely exciting projects.
• Receive regular mentorship from senior engineers that have tremendous track records building software around the world.
• Building in emerging markets like the Philippines presents unique challenges, given the state of digital infrastructure. We are building virtually everything in-house, which is not easy, but its a lot of fun. We have a track record of solving seemingly impossible problems that defeated many other start-ups, and the opportunity ahead remains enormous.
• We already have a core product that customers love - this is a unique opportunity to do zero-to-one building in a company that has already got a track record of delivering great things.
• Our exceptional engineering team: we love working together - no politics, just building, maintaining high standards, and having fun whilst we do it.

Requirements

• Natural creators and problem solves who love critical thinking. You will not be expected to get it right every time, but you will always be asked to justify your thinking,
• Experience: ideally a degree or bootcamp related to engineering, computer science, etc. Professional experience is welcome but not essential.
• Skills: ability to pass the FC engineering code test that successful applicants will be sent.

Benefits

• We don't have a fixed budget for the role. When we find the right person, we will pay them competitively vs their market rate.
• Flexibility around working hours and location. The role can be worked remotely, with the option to work from one of our offices. We have co-working spaces in Singapore, London Hong Kong & Belgrade with our HQ office in Manila
• Macbooks, private health insurance, training budgets and more!
