About this role
Nium is the global infrastructure company powering real-time cross-border payments. Founded to deliver the payments infrastructure of tomorrow, today, we are building a programmable, borderless, and compliant money-movement layer that powers transactions between people, businesses, and intelligent systems — enabling banks, fintechs, payroll providers, travel platforms, marketplaces, and other global enterprises to move money instantly, anywhere in the world.
Co-headquartered in San Francisco and Singapore, with offices in 14 markets and team members across 20+ countries, we take pride in a culture anchored in Keeping It Simple, Making It Better, and Winning Together. 2025 was the strongest year in our 10-year history, with record revenue, record transaction volumes, and EBITDA profitability — and we are now entering one of the most dynamic chapters in our journey. We believe the best work happens face-to-face, and we operate a hybrid model with three in-office days per week to strengthen collaboration, alignment, and innovation.
We move over $50B annually across a network that spans 190+ countries, 100 currencies, and 100 real-time corridors. We power fast payouts to accounts, wallets, and cards; enable local collections in 35 markets; and support card issuance in 34 countries — all backed by licenses across 40+ markets.
With over $300M raised to date, Nium offers ambitious builders the opportunity to shape the future of global money movement — at scale.
At Nium, we’re revolutionising the global payments industry and data sits at the core of everything we do. We’re looking for a passionate and skilled Data Engineer to join our Malta-based Data Engineering team.
This is more than a purely technical role. You’ll help shape the future of our data platform as we migrate from on-premises systems to AWS cloud. You’ll work hands-on with modern tools such as Airflow, Redshift, dbt, and Kafka, collaborating closely with product, engineering, analytics, and business teams to deliver high-quality, scalable data solutions that power real-world payments and enable data-driven decision-making.
You’ll have the opportunity to contribute to high-impact projects, solve complex technical problems, and work on a platform that supports millions of users globally. If you’re motivated by learning, collaboration, and building resilient data platforms at scale, this role offers a strong opportunity for growth.
