Software Engineer

VFX Financial is one of the UK’s fastest-growing FinTechs, helping complex organisations move, manage, and protect money across borders. Built for specialist sectors, multi-jurisdiction structures, and high-compliance environments, we support businesses whose needs go beyond standard banking. We’re selective about who we work with because exceptional service requires focus and commitment.

With six international offices, five regulatory licences, and an 83% CAGR over the past three years, we’re scaling rapidly and earning industry recognition along the way — including the Financial Times FT1000: Europe’s Fastest Growing Companies 2026, CNBC UK’s Top Fintech Companies 2025, Wealth & Finance FinTech Awards 2025, and the Business Growth Award from Business Awards UK.

Behind it all is a team of ambitious VFXers united by collective ownership, a focus on growth, and a shared passion for solving complex problems.

We’re seeking a detail-driven and highly capable Back-End Software Engineer to join our engineering team and contribute to the core systems powering VFX’s global financial infrastructure. You will work across complex, high-value domains including multi-currency account architecture, payment routing, treasury operations, risk management, compliance workflows, and API-driven client integrations.

This role is suited to someone who brings discipline, precision, and a strong engineering mindset. You will thrive if you enjoy building resilient, scalable and secure systems that serve sophisticated clients operating across multiple jurisdictions and regulatory environments. This is an opportunity to deepen your expertise within a regulated FinTech while making a tangible impact across a platform used by global businesses.

This role can be hybrid at our office in Portimao or fully remote across Portugal.

Success Measures

We offer more than just perks — we offer ownership.

PSP & CSOP Details

At VFX, the biggest benefit is the opportunity to act like an owner. Through our Profit Share Scheme (PSP), every team member has a stake in the business by sharing in the profits.

To show you what that looks like, in 2025, PSP participants received over £1,000,000. Historically, VFX has also offered equity opportunities via Company Share Option Plan (CSOP), where more than 80% of eligible VFXers chose to become shareholders — a powerful reflection of the belief and commitment that drives VFX forward.

If you care about building something meaningful, take pride in your work, and are motivated by impact — you’ll thrive here.
