Fintech software development for teams building the future of financial services

Senior engineers for fintech companies - who we work with

We work with companies across the financial services spectrum: fintech software development scaleups, neobanks, payment infrastructure companies, wealthtech and insurtech platforms, embedded finance platform development teams, and traditional financial institutions undergoing legacy banking system modernization. We also support PE-backed financial services consolidators and VC-backed fintechs approaching Series B who need engineering capacity without a 3-month hiring cycle. The engineering challenges we see repeatedly in this vertical: compliance-aware systems that require KYC and AML compliance technology expertise baked in from day one, open banking API development that has to be rock-solid across multiple regulatory frameworks, fraud detection software development that operates at transaction speed without false-positive rates that kill customer experience, and cloud migration financial services projects that carry real regulatory and operational risk if handled carelessly. We don't consult on your product strategy. We place the senior engineers for fintech companies who execute it.

What we deliver for financial software development companies and institutions

Open banking & API platform development

We help fintech engineering teams build production-grade open banking API development platforms - PSD2/PSD3-compliant, third-party provider integrations, consent management layers, and the developer portal infrastructure that makes them usable at scale.

Fraud detection & risk engineering

We place engineers with deep fraud detection software development experience - real-time transaction scoring, ML-based anomaly detection, rule engine design, and the data infrastructure needed to keep false positive rates low without slowing down genuine transactions.

KYC, AML & compliance technology

We build KYC and AML compliance technology teams for fintechs and banks navigating GDPR, FATF, and national regulatory frameworks - identity verification pipelines, watchlist screening, automated SAR reporting, and audit-ready data architectures.

Embedded finance platform development

We support companies building embedded finance platform development products - from lending and payments APIs embedded into non-financial platforms to card programme infrastructure, account issuing, and the compliance layers that underpin them.

Legacy banking system modernization

We place senior engineers for fintech companies and banks tackling legacy banking system modernization - strangler-fig migrations, core banking API abstraction layers, cloud migration financial services programmes, and the integration engineering needed to keep live systems running during transformation.

Blockchain & DeFi development

We source engineers for blockchain fintech development projects - smart contract development and auditing, tokenization infrastructure, DeFi protocol engineering, and the bridge architecture needed to connect on-chain and off-chain financial systems securely.

AI and regulation are reshaping financial software platforms - simultaneously

The engineering challenge in financial services isn't just moving fast - it's moving fast inside a compliance boundary that tightens every year. Fintech software development teams are navigating AI adoption, open banking mandates, real-time payments infrastructure, and legacy banking system modernization at the same time. Devspace places fintech software engineers Europe-wide who understand both the technical and regulatory context, embedded directly in your team from our 500+ engineer EU network.

AI is moving fraud detection software development from rule-based systems to real-time ML scoring - enabling fintechs and banks to detect novel fraud patterns without the brittle rule maintenance that slows compliance teams. The engineering challenge is building low-latency inference pipelines that operate at transaction speed, integrate with existing core systems, and produce explainable outputs that satisfy regulators.

Where Devspace fits: We place backend engineers and ML specialists who've shipped these systems in production financial environments, not just proof-of-concept labs.

Building financial software is complex enough. Scaling your engineering team shouldn't be.

Tell us what you're building. We'll match you with senior engineers for fintech companies who understand the regulatory and technical context - typically within 2-4 weeks of your first call.

Why fintech software development companies choose Devspace

Embedded, not outsourced

Your stack, your compliance requirements, your sprint process. Our fintech engineering team augmentation model means engineers join your team - they don't replace it or run parallel to it. You stay in full control of delivery and architecture decisions.

Regulatory context from day one

We place fintech software engineers Europe-wide who understand GDPR, PSD2/PSD3, AML directives, and national regulatory frameworks at an engineering level - not as a checklist. Our EU network means your engineers operate inside the same regulatory environment as your product.

2-4 weeks from first call

Pre-vetted senior engineers for fintech companies mean we move fast. No lengthy procurement cycles. No CV dumps. A shortlist of matched engineers - typically within days of your request and embedded within 2-4 weeks.

European engineers, not offshore

Our 500+ fintech software engineers Europe span the EU - Nordics, Baltics, Poland, Central Europe. Full timezone overlap, compatible with US East Coast. Senior talent meeting Scandinavian and US quality standards with the compliance context your product requires.

Financial domain depth

We've placed engineers into open banking API development platforms, fraud detection software development teams, embedded finance platform development companies, and legacy banking system modernization programmes. We understand the domain, not just the job spec.

Strategic depth when you need it

If your challenge is bigger than headcount - a pre-investment technical diligence, a missing CTO, or an architecture review before a major compliance deadline - we have that capability too. One partner for financial technology consulting and execution across the full technology lifecycle.

Tell us what you need. We'll find the right engineers.

Whether you need senior developers embedded in your team, a Fractional CTO, or a technology assessment before a deal — most engagements start within 2–4 weeks.
