About Us:  Finix is on a mission to create the most accessible fintech market in history. To do so, we are building the global operating system for fintech. We’re rewriting the financial services industry, one API at a time, to lower barriers to entry, drive competition, and make the financial system more equitable and accessible to all businesses around the world. 
Finix is unique in the market. We build payments infrastructure for vertically-focused software companies (think restaurant, yoga studio and winery software) and fintech providers so they can own and monetize payments without the heavy lift of building complex systems from scratch or relying entirely on disjointed third-party services. Our job is to make our customers’ lives easier by making payments invisible.

  • Automate processes and monitor infrastructure that helps secure the production system
  • Build tools that help manage, test, monitor, and improve application and infrastructure security
  • Enable security integrations into the SDLC process and CI/CD pipeline that improves developer productivity
