Job Description
Staff Software Engineer designing and enhancing backend systems for financial operations at a fintech startup. Focus on building scalable and accurate solutions for modern accounting firms.
Responsibilities:
- Own meaningful backend initiatives end-to-end: from scoping through shipping and iteration
- Enhance and extend our existing financial engine with new functionality, reporting capabilities, and deeper system interconnectivity
- Ship customer-facing value quickly without compromising correctness or trust
- Design and evolve APIs that power reporting, insights, and client-facing product experiences
- Improve performance, observability, and resilience across core systems
- Contribute to forward-looking architecture (e.g., multi-currency, multi-entity) where thoughtful design today unlocks scale tomorrow
- Partner with Product, Data, and Design to turn complex accounting workflows into scalable, high-leverage solutions that meaningfully accelerate customer outcomes
- Raise the technical bar through thoughtful design reviews, high-quality code, and proactive mentorship — amplifying team velocity and impact, not just your own output
Requirements:
- 8+ years building and scaling complex backend systems in production
- Deep experience with distributed systems, event-driven architecture, and data modeling
- Strong database design skills (SQL required; analytics or NoSQL a plus)
- Experience with financial systems, ledgers, or fintech infrastructure- or strong familiarity with accounting principles a big plus
- You’ve worked in multi-language production environments and can navigate unfamiliar parts of the stack
- You design systems where outputs are correct, explainable, and reproducible- especially when financial accuracy matters
- Other engineers trust your systems and build on top of them
- High Agency- you pick up ambiguous projects, define the path forward, and execute with minimal handholding
- Good judgment- you know what to prioritize, what tradeoffs to make, and when to slow down or speed up
- You care about long-term system integrity, not just closing tickets
- Strong communicator who can align stakeholders and bring engineers along without relying on process to do it for you.
Benefits:
- Competitive base pay and meaningful equity (Up to 210K Base for this role)
- 100% paid employee health, dental, and vision plans (U.S. & Canada vary)
- 10 observed holidays and a flexible PTO policy
- $1,000 home office budget
- $2,400 co-working budget
- $600 learning & development budget
- 401(k)
- And more
