At Chift, our mission fits in one sentence: Unlock potential with connectivity ⚡
Our clients are B2B software companies: fintechs, SaaS scale-ups and AI tools serving thousands of SMEs across Europe. Their users expect that software to connect automatically to their financial tools, like their accounting, invoicing or point-of-sale systems.
The problem is that building these integrations is a real headache for software companies. It takes months, costs up to €50,000 per integration per year, and ties up developers who should be improving their own product instead.
That’s where we come in. With our Unified APIs and our MCP server, a software company connects to Chift once and instantly gets access to 150+ financial software tools across Europe. We handle the hard part (the connectors, the maintenance, each country’s specifics) so our clients can focus on what makes their product unique.
Today, companies like Revolut, Pennylane and Qonto rely on Chift to offer these integrations to their users. And with the rise of AI agents, which need reliable financial data to work, our role is becoming even more central.
Our ambition? To become the European leader in financial integrations. The Unified API wave has already swept across the US, but in Europe the race is still wide open. And we fully intend to lead it 👑

As the first HR hire at Chift, you will own the HR function end-to-end.
Your mission is simple (and ambitious):
Create the conditions for Chift to scale while strengthening a culture of ownership, high performance, and a positive mindset.
You’ll design and implement HR processes, structure recruitment, make our culture tangible in everyday life, and take ownership of HR administration, freeing the founders to focus on strategy and growth.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building from scratch, wearing multiple hats, and having a real impact on a fast-growing tech company.

Structure the hiring strategy by designing tools, interview stages, and a candidate experience aligned with Chift’s employer brand.
Create and run team rituals, internal events, and initiatives that make the culture tangible in day-to-day work.
Build useful People metrics to track time to hire, engagement, employee satisfaction, and retention topics.
Identify team development needs and design training or knowledge-sharing initiatives.
Manage the HR administrative backbone: contracts, payroll coordination, compliance, and office organization with the relevant stakeholders. Mainly with the help of external consultants.
Work closely with the founders to turn growth needs into simple, clear, and scalable People practices.
A high-impact role with the opportunity to define the People function of a company in a strong acceleration phase.
An attractive package including competitive compensation, meal vouchers, insurance, a phone allowance, a mobility budget, and flexible time off.
An equity program to become a shareholder in the company.
A steep learning curve, with varied topics and real autonomy.
A wellness/sports allowance through Gymlib.
A dynamic startup environment, with regular team moments to celebrate key milestones.
Flexible hours and a hybrid setup between office and remote work.
The opportunity to join an ambitious team aiming for European leadership in its market.
