Backend Software Engineer (Java)

WHO WE ARE

TransactionLink is the world’s first automation platform for building complete digital onboarding experiences. We are doing for B2B onboarding what Revolut did for B2C — removing friction and accelerating customer activation. Our no-code platform turns complex KYB/KYC requirements into simple, configurable onboarding flows used by leading European fintechs and financial institutions.

By orchestrating hundreds of data sources and handling millions of compliance-critical requests every day, TransactionLink enables businesses to sign up new customers in minutes, not weeks — while significantly reducing manual work and staying fully compliant with financial regulations.

We've raised over €6M from investors behind companies like Revolut, Kraken, and Stripe, and have grown 8x in the past year alone.
