Questions candidates ask before applying
Pay, application process, location, AI tooling, engagement length — every question that comes up routinely, answered directly.
Who does FinCircles hire?
Mid- to senior-level fintech specialists living in Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Romania, or Greece — across engineering, product, growth, operations, risk, compliance, fraud, AI, and ML. Junior applications are reviewed but the bench is weighted to professionals with prior fintech, payments, or regulated-industry experience.
Is the work fully remote?
Yes. Every engagement is fully remote and structured around EU business hours. There is no expectation of relocation. Clients are headquartered in the UK, EU, and US, and the working day is shaped to overlap with the client team rather than to require travel.
How is compensation structured?
Compensation is paid in EUR on a monthly cadence, benchmarked against EU rates rather than local market rates. Specialists are engaged as independent contractors via FinCircles, with the engagement agreement covering scope, rate, notice period, and the client they will work with.
What does the application process look like?
You submit your CV via the apply form. Every application is reviewed by a senior member of the FinCircles team within five business days. If your background fits an active or imminent client requirement, you progress to a technical and contextual assessment. If not, your profile is retained in the talent network and you are contacted when a relevant role opens.
Do I need to be already specialised in fintech?
Direct fintech or payments experience is a strong signal but is not the only path in. Operators from adjacent regulated industries (banking, insurance, online gaming, regulated marketplaces) are routinely placed when the transferable skills are clear and the candidate is willing to build domain depth quickly.
What AI tooling do FinCircles specialists use?
Claude, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and the broader agent toolchain. Tooling is provided as standard, and proficiency with it is assessed during the interview process — fluency is treated as a baseline requirement.
How long are typical engagements?
Three months or longer is typical, with most engagements extending well beyond the initial term. Specialists are embedded into the client team for the duration; FinCircles maintains the contractual relationship throughout.
How do I submit my CV?
Use the apply form on this site. You can apply to a specific open role, or submit a general application to join the talent network and be considered as relevant roles open. There is no fee, and your details are held in confidence.
