We are building the financial system for the next century. One where control sits in the hands of customers — not banks. Where money moves on rails that are faster, smarter, and radically more efficient. Where wealth management tools help you grow your savings for decades — and build generational wealth. Where fewer intermediaries mean more value stays where it belongs: in our customers’ pockets.
We operate with long-term ambition and absolute conviction. We are not here to iterate on the past — we are here to redesign it. This is a defining moment to join us.
We are building what we believe will become one of the most important financial institutions in the world. That requires exceptional talent, relentless standards, and people who care deeply about the work. At ARQ, we are turning the financial system upside down — starting in the Americas. We are nimble, but ambitious. We move fast, learn fast, and innovate relentlessly. Technology is our greatest ally, and execution is our edge. We build as a team. We think long term. We aim for world‑class in everything we do. If you are exceptional at what you do — and ready to help redefine finance — we’d love to meet you.Are you ready to build what comes next?
About the team
We believe that small teams with the best talent outcompete massive companies with mediocre capabilities. That's why we have gathered a set of people who have done it before at iconic companies like Revolut, Uber, Amazon, Block and UBS: we owned some of the most loved and profitable products, delivered top‑notch transaction processing platforms, created beautiful mobile applications - and helped them become profitable companies that changed the lives of millions of people.
In our quest to reshape the global financial system we have raised tens of millions of dollars from leading investors like Sequoia Capital, Founders Fund, Brevan Howard Digital, Y Combinator and Kaszek Ventures.
