What the role involves
Senior Software Engineer - Paasa
Paasa is building the first-of-its-kind global equities trading platform from India, for Indians across the globe. We’re backed by YC and top Silicon Valley angels.
Our founders previously led engineering at SoFi and INDmoney, and saw how broken global investing was for Indians - from opaque FX spreads to fragmented tax, remittance, and trading infrastructure. We’re building the system to fix that.

What they ask for
About Paasa
Paasa helps wealthy Indians invest in global equities - without middlemen, hidden fees, or paperwork. While high-net-worths in India often have international expenses from children's education to healthcare, most still save in INR, a currency that depreciates ~2–5% per year against the USD. Why? - Broken outward remittance process - Fear of making mistakes in tax or compliance - Paper-heavy onboarding processes of international brokers - Lack of trustworthy guidance Paasa offers a mobile app that enables Indians to trade worldwide, invest via advisory, and automate every cross-border tax filing.
