About the Team

The Growth and Customer Experience team in our San Francisco office builds and owns the GoTo market strategy for various products that take Nium’s market offerings forward using our core banking infrastructure rails. New initiatives include partner integrations for stablecoins, growth in FX and payroll segment verticals, hosted onboarding and taxes for talent marketplaces and seamless Direct Debit support for PayIns.

The team has rolled out properties like the Nium Client Portal, the central self-service web platform for accessing Nium’s global payments infrastructure and seeks to expand our offerings further for supporting our Hypergrowth phase.

Nium Portal is the single entry point for clients to:

- Create and manage virtual accounts
- Send real-time cross-border payouts
- Issue cards and track balances
- View transactions, FX rates, and reporting dashboards
- Monitor compliance, onboarding, and KYC/KYB workflows

Our users include Fintech developers integrating APIs, as well as operations teams managing high-volume financial workflows. We focus on delivering seamless user experiences and building products that balance self-serve simplicity with deep operational power.

Our goal is to turn complex payment infrastructure into a product experience that is intuitive, scalable, and flexible. As we expand into new markets and product lines, we are investing heavily in frontend engineering, Fullstack capabilities, and product velocity to better serve our customers.

This role will be based out of our San Francisco office and will work closely with our core API teams based in India.
