Golang Software Engineer

About Volt

When Volt launched in 2019, we recognised how open banking has the power to transform how businesses, wherever they happen to be, receive payments from their customers. So, we set about building an open payments gateway that enables merchants across the globe to receive direct, account-to-account payments – in real time.

Now, on the back of $23.5 million Series A and $60 million Series B funding rounds, we’re building an all-star team to achieve our goal of ‘real-time payments everywhere’.
