Senior Software Engineer

In Renaissance Florence, wealthy merchants faced a dilemma: where could they safely store their gold without it sitting idle. The Medici family offered a radical alternative. Deposit your assets with them and your assets would be secure, earn consistent returns, and, crucially, be accessible when needed. It was one of the first smart options for wealth: safe, productive, and liquid. The spirit of innovation and financial ingenuity that defined Renaissance Florence finds a powerful echo in the modern startup world.
