Software Development Engineer at spektr in Iași, Iași, Romania

WHY SPEKTR

At spektr, we are on a mission to automate the world’s most complex compliance workflows through AI. Founded by the team behind HelloFlow (acquired by Trulioo), spektr is building the infrastructure and AI agents to run compliance on scale.

Most large financial companies rely on thousands of employees to keep up with manually handling compliance. With spektr’s AI agents, we have the opportunity to change that and completly redefine how compliance operates.

This is a rare opportunity to join spektr at the moment of take-off. We have a proven product, already used by some of the largest and fastest-moving financial companies like Santander, Pleo, Phantom, and many more. Backed by Northzone, Seedcamp and PSV, we are scaling incredibly fast and changing the way compliance works in real time. The work is ambitious, the bar is high, and the opportunity for personal and professional growth is huge.

We are currently looking for a Software Engineer to join our team.

We need someone who thrives in a dynamic environment, loves solving complex compliance puzzles, and is eager to shape the next generation of technology. We are looking for high-agency individuals who focus on product outcomes.
