Job Description

Staff Software Engineer architecting next-gen financial platform at Command|Link. Leading transition from legacy systems to a scalable SOA for high-volume transactions.

Responsibilities:

  • Lead the transition from a monolithic legacy stack to a modern SOA using the Strangler Fig pattern, ensuring zero downtime and complete data parity.
  • Design and implement robust idempotency patterns and distributed locking mechanisms to ensure exactly once processing for all financial transactions.
  • Architect metering and rating engines capable of processing high-cardinality usage data, supporting complex tiered and usage-based billing models.
  • Build and maintain scalable, secure integrations with critical ERP and payment platforms, including NetSuite, Stripe, Zuora, and Chargebee.
  • Establish world-class standards for performance, monitoring, and alerting across our financial stack, ensuring high availability and rapid incident resolution.
  • Act as a mentor and technical guide for our senior engineering team, conducting deep architectural reviews and authoring Architectural Decision Records (ADRs) to steer our long-term roadmap.

Requirements:

  • 10+ years of building and scaling reliable backend systems, with a focus on financial or high-transaction platforms.
  • A proven track record of successfully migrating legacy monoliths to modern service-based architectures (experience with PHP refactoring is a significant asset).
  • Deep proficiency in Azure (preferred), AWS, or GCP, with hands-on experience in Kubernetes, Terraform, and serverless compute.
  • Solid understanding of global financial complexities, including multi-currency handling, tax automation, and revenue recognition standards.
  • Practical experience implementing PCI, SOC2, and GDPR standards, with a focus on secure authentication (OAuth 2.0, JWT).
  • Exceptional ability to translate complex business needs from Finance and Operations into scalable, elegant technical designs.

Benefits:

  • Total Autonomy: You will define the technical vision and lead the migration roadmap without the friction of traditional corporate red tape.
  • Tangible Impact: Your work will directly influence how value moves across borders for our global enterprise clients.
  • Remote Excellence: We are a 100% remote-first company that values deep work, asynchronous communication, and results over presence.
  • Continuous Growth: We provide a dedicated budget for conferences, certifications, and advanced technical training.
