FYST is a payment infrastructure company built on a modern polyglot stack (Node.js, Go, Python, PostgreSQL, Kafka, Kubernetes) with heavy investment in observability (Grafana, Loki, Jaeger, Tempo). The hiring velocity is accelerating across engineering (41 open roles), finance (19), and legal (17) — a mix that reflects the dual challenge of scaling a fintech platform while managing regulatory complexity. Pain points cluster around building payment processing from scratch, compliance with card-network mandates, and data synchronization — all typical of a young payments company bridging custom merchant needs with Visa/Mastercard rails.
FYST provides custom payment solutions for global online businesses, acting as a technical and operational mediator between merchants and their payment infrastructure. Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Riga, the company operates with a core engineering function (node-based services, Go services, Python automation) backed by fintech expertise. Active projects include Visa and Mastercard certification initiatives, observability platform buildout, financial licensing, and reconciliation automation. The company is hiring across 20+ countries, with a distributed team spanning Europe, Central Asia, and Brazil.
Node.js, TypeScript, Go, Python, PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, Redis, Kafka, RabbitMQ, Kubernetes, Docker, AWS (Lambda, Aurora), GCP, plus observability tools (Grafana, Loki, Jaeger, Tempo) and GitLab CI/CD.
