Weavr is a platform that provides everything digital innovators need to build and run embedded banking solutions for their applications.

Financial services are always a means to another end: to buy the stuff you need or want, to bridge the gap between paying and getting paid, to get peace of mind in a risky world, etc. A new breed of digital applications start with the end in mind and integrate the required financial services as part of their solution: rather than asking customers to go to the bank, they bring the bank to their customers. This trend is called embedded banking.

Embedded banking is a hot space today, but it is complex and expensive for digital businesses to incorporate into their products and services. Weavr is changing that by making it easy and quick for any innovator to design, build and run embedded banking solutions that are a perfect fit for what they need in their application. Weavr’s approach is to simplify the process enough to deliver all this online, and in many cases, purely through self-service.

As long as you have access to good quality broadband, a strong remote work ethic, able to work during European working times, and can easily travel to European capitals (where we’re most likely to meet in person), then you can be based wherever. 

Why Join Weavr

We have just raised funding from leading VCs associated with Fintech and the Digital Ecosystem: Tiger, Anthemis, Headline, QED Investors and Seedcamp. We are now just starting on the next step of the journey: delivering product-market fit in one or two markets within Europe before we scale in these markets and extend to other markets and geographies.

By joining now, you will be at the early stages of an exciting journey that will be tough, but also highly rewarding personally and professionally.  

A good remuneration package shall be provided to the candidate with the right skillset.  All employees enjoy a very flexible work environment that supports work-life balance. We pride ourselves in being a diverse workforce, each bringing onboard a variety of skills and talent.

Our Culture

We are unashamedly geeky. We prefer smart to big. We don’t see borders and barriers, we see connections and bridges. We are dedicated to helping ‘makers’ of all size or stripe succeed. The community of makers that we’re empowering is big and diverse, so there’s place for all types in our team – but it’s a team. What matters are our values: create value through simplification, be accessible and collaborative, and be open to change. That’s as true of our products as it is of how we work.

Commitment to diversity & inclusion

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, colour, age, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, national origin, disability. We are a diverse and inclusive team and we actively seek to recruit people with different backgrounds and experiences.
