The fintech segment, which experienced a period of rapid growth during the pandemic and its immediate aftermath, had a relatively rough 2024. The year ended with the abrupt shutdown—and then unexpected acquisition—of accounting startup Bench. Despite the slowdown in funding pace, some fintech companies are continuing to see growth and expand their teams.
In an effort to better understand just how many fintechs might fit into this category, I put out a call several months ago asking for fintech companies that were hiring. Within just over an hour, I received more than a dozen responses. Over the span of a few days, I heard from over 60 companies. The sheer number—and quality—of responses was surprising, even to me, someone who regularly writes about this space.
Revisiting the Hiring Market
A few months later, I revisited this topic and found that while fintechs are still hiring, many of them don’t have as many open roles as they once did. However, there are still plenty of open positions available, and some companies are even hiring for more roles than they were a few months ago.
TechCrunch Isn’t a Job Board
As the title suggests, TechCrunch isn’t a job board. This article isn’t a comprehensive listing of all available fintech jobs. However, if you’re recently laid off, a recent graduate, or simply looking for a change, this will be a good place to start.

Recharge (45M in funding to go on M&A spree)
Mike Butcher, writing for TechCrunch, reports that prepaid payments platform Recharge has raised €45M in funding. This influx of capital will enable the company to continue its ambitious growth strategy, which includes making strategic acquisitions.
This is a significant development in the fintech space, as Recharge’s growth and expansion are likely to have a ripple effect on the industry as a whole.
What Does This Mean for the Fintech Hiring Market?
The fact that Recharge has secured €45M in funding is a clear indication that there is still significant interest in the fintech space. With this level of investment, it’s likely that we’ll see more companies like Recharge expanding their teams and taking on new roles.
However, it’s worth noting that not all fintech companies are receiving the same level of attention. Many startups are struggling to secure funding, which could lead to a talent drain in the industry as experienced professionals look for greener pastures.
Conclusion
The fintech hiring market is complex and ever-changing. While some companies are thriving, others are struggling to stay afloat. As we move forward into 2025, it will be interesting to see how the landscape continues to shift.
One thing is certain: with the right skills and experience, you’ll have a wide range of opportunities available to you in the fintech space.
