Digital banking and payments platform across Georgia and Central Asia
Space International operates digital banks and payment services in Georgia (Space) and Uzbekistan (TBC UZ, Payme), built on a modern cloud-native stack (Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, Prometheus, AWS/GCP/Azure). The engineering focus is heavy: 4 of 11 current open roles are engineering, and active projects span production Kubernetes management (RKE2, Cilium), real-time analytics (StarRocks), and ML-backed decisioning (feature store, scorecards). The organization is tackling infrastructure-scale challenges—99.9% availability SLAs, incident response times, false-alert reduction—that indicate rapid scaling across two markets.
Space International is the international expansion arm of TBC Bank Group, operating digital banking services in Georgia and Uzbekistan. The company launched Space (a neobank in Georgia) in 2018, expanded with TBC UZ in Uzbekistan in 2020, and acquired Payme (a local Uzbek payments provider) in 2023. With approximately 1,700 staff across 17 nationalities, the organization provides digital banking, payments, and backend-as-a-service capabilities to retail and small-to-medium business customers. Operations span product development, data infrastructure, and localized payment processing.
