API platform connecting gift cards to cashback and employee benefits
Finperks operates an orchestration platform bridging gift-card distributors, brands, and banks to enable cashback programs and tax-free employee benefits across the EU and US. The stack is infrastructure-heavy (Go, Postgres, Kubernetes, ELK, AWS) with active work on high-availability APIs and scaling to millions of transactions — typical for a payments company handling compliance and audit requirements. Sales hiring (5 roles) outpaces engineering (3), suggesting a land-and-expand model where API integrations drive customer acquisition rather than product-market fit refinement.
Finperks is a Berlin-based fintech founded in 2025 that transforms gift cards into retention and benefits infrastructure. The company sells an API-first platform to banks, fintechs, and HR SaaS providers, enabling them to launch branded cashback programs or integrate tax-free employee benefits without building backend systems themselves. Current focus spans enterprise partnership execution, prepaid product core platform, brand partner integrations, and infrastructure automation to handle transaction volume and compliance. The 11–50 person team is actively hiring across sales, engineering, and product in Germany and Peru.
Go, PostgreSQL, AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, Elasticsearch, GitLab CI/CD, Terraform, and CloudFormation. Stack reflects API-first design with emphasis on containerization, infrastructure-as-code, and observability.
