Technical Partner

We're looking for a hands-on technical partner to help build Curment's e-cheques and payment infrastructure platform from the ground up. This is an equity-based role with part-time commitment to start and the potential to grow into a full-time leadership position as the platform scales.

About the role

• Own the architecture and build-out of the core e-cheques platform.

• Shape foundational technical decisions across backend systems, integrations, security, and scalability.

• Work closely with the founding team as a true technical partner, not a contractor.

• Start part-time, with room to grow into a full-time leadership role as the company scales.

Responsibilities

• Design and build the core system for issuing, processing, clearing, and reconciling electronic cheques.

• Build the digital cheque templating and layout engine, with support for standard cheque formatting and regional banking requirements.

• Architect and implement integrations with bank branch systems or portals for cheque submission, verification, and status syncing.

• Build a secure payment acceptance module for collecting service fees.

• Implement strong security, encryption, audit logging, and fraud-prevention practices for financial data handling.

• Partner on long-term technical roadmap, scalability planning, and platform direction.

What we're looking for

• Experience integrating with banking or financial institution APIs or portals.

• Strong understanding of secure payment processing and financial data compliance.

• Comfort leading architecture, backend build-out, and ideally some DevOps or infrastructure work.

• A startup mindset: self-directed, comfortable with ambiguity, and motivated by long-term ownership.

Suggested tech stack

• Recommended primary stack: Java (Spring Boot) for the core cheque-processing and branch-integration backend.

Equity & terms

• This is an equity-based partnership, not a salaried position.

• Specific equity percentage, vesting schedule, and terms will be discussed directly with qualified candidates.

How we hire

• Please share your relevant background, links to previous work, and why this opportunity fits what you're looking for.
