The Role

You are looking for a challenge, eager for a fast-paced startup environment that will push you out of your comfort zone, where learning happens. Most importantly, you’re a problem solver with exquisite attention to detail , unafraid to get technical to understand the root cause of an issue.

When you join the Finops team at Xendit, you’ll have the chance to build something that matters.

If you can be accurate and detail-oriented under pressure, are always reliable, collaborative, and love the dynamic environment of operations, we want to hear from you. Bonus points for those who love challenging the status quo.
