Remittance platform for Indian diaspora across US, UK, UAE, and EU
Aspora handles money transfers from diaspora to India with a tech stack built for scale: mobile-first (iOS/Swift), message-driven architecture (Kafka, RabbitMQ), and cloud infrastructure (AWS). The hiring velocity and pain-point list reveal operational maturity challenges — most of their stated problems center on scaling volumes, managing FX leakage, and reliability at high throughput. Finance and engineering are nearly equal hiring priorities, suggesting the business is both operationally complex (regulatory, settlement, accounting) and technically capital-intensive.
Aspora is a cross-border remittance platform for Indian diaspora, operating across the US, UK, UAE, and EU. The service focuses on transparent, low-cost transfers to India, with active development across core financial rails (end-to-end finance engine, FX P&L dashboards), mobile experience (iOS app foundation), and analytics infrastructure (churn prediction, A/B testing). The company is based in London with hiring across India, the UK, UAE, and the US, and is currently scaling to support higher transaction volumes while managing regulatory complexity and settlement risk.
iOS/Swift on mobile, Java and Python for backend services, Kafka and RabbitMQ for messaging, AWS for cloud infrastructure, and Grafana/Kibana for observability. Testing uses REST Assured, TestNG, JMeter, and k6.
Active projects include a design system refresh, FX P&L dashboards, end-to-end finance engine development, iOS app foundation, churn prediction, and ESOP accounting and reporting capabilities.
