Job Description

Senior Backend Engineer creating backend services for financial products at a fintech company. Owning features end-to-end and contributing to technical direction in a high-ownership environment.

Responsibilities:

  • Build and ship backend services that power our financial products — APIs, automation pipelines, and cloud infrastructure
  • Own features end-to-end: dig into the problem, design the approach, ship fast, and iterate based on real usage
  • Contribute to technical direction — advocate for better patterns, tooling, and developer experience
  • Partner with product and engineering to define solutions, not just execute specs
  • Write clean, reliable code at a high pace — quality and speed, not one or the other
  • Raise the bar for the team through code reviews, technical input, and leading by example

Requirements:

  • 5+ years shipping backend systems in production — APIs, services, cloud infrastructure
  • Strong fundamentals in at least one of our core languages (TypeScript, Python, PHP)
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS and/or GCP), containerization, and CI/CD
  • Ability to operate independently: you take ownership of a problem and drive it forward
  • Pragmatic judgment on architecture vs. shipping and learning
  • Clear communicator who can articulate tradeoffs and advocate for their approach

Benefits:

  • High autonomy and real ownership from day one
  • A seat at the table in defining how backend engineering evolves here
