Mission
Build banking infrastructure of the future
Our Experiments team builds growth engines for Xendit through experimental products. We do this by pushing the frontiers of what is possible in the industry and creating modern solutions to old problems. As part of the Experiments team, you are part of a team that builds from 0 to 1, who often builds solutions in uncharted waters.
To build from the ground up, we take ideas, customer pain points, or gaps in the market, push out an MVP at speed and iterate to find product-market fit. This team presents a unique opportunity for people who are looking to build something completely new, rather than improving existing products. People who join this team have a strong interest in growth (personally and professionally) and, therefore, carry a culture of continuous improvement.
As part of the banking infrastructure experiment, you are building banking infrastructure of the future for our customers and partners, including other banks. You will solve long standing customer pains to disrupt a traditional solution and exercise creativity to upturn old ideas of how banking infrastructure should be designed.
You will join a small technical team and make technical decisions that will drive growth. To solve for customers, you will also work closely with our business teams and work directly with our CEO.

What we care about
- Solve for the customer first: You build what customers want. You think about what is right for customers, not what is easiest for you
- Demonstrate mastery of honey badgery: You make ambitious goals. Then execute…no matter what stands in the way. When knocked down, you get up
- Take on challenges willingly and can be trusted to execute: You can be trusted to get things done right the first time quickly. You hit your deadlines
- You’re like us: You smile a lot, think work is fun and don’t take yourself too seriously. You measure yourself against the best and believe feedback is the breakfast of champions. You follow the golden rule.
- You’re remarkable: People naturally talk about how awesome you are. If we can’t find someone who raves about you then it’s unlikely we will too
