About the Role:

We are looking for a skilled Backend Engineer to help design and build reliable, scalable, and secure systems powering next-generation financial products. You’ll work closely with cross-functional teams to develop APIs, services, and infrastructure that serve millions of users and enable critical financial operations in real time.

What You’ll Do:

• Design, develop, and maintain highly available backend systems using modern languages and frameworks (e.g., Python, Go).
• Build scalable APIs and microservices that support real-time transactions, data processing, and platform automation.
• Partner with product managers, frontend engineers, data scientists, and infrastructure teams to ship impactful features quickly and reliably.
• Write clear, maintainable, and well-tested code that meets the standards for performance, security, and compliance.
• Contribute to technical design documents and participate in code reviews and architectural discussions.
• Optimize backend performance, handle distributed systems challenges, and contribute to high observability (logging, monitoring, alerting).
• Help shape engineering best practices and mentor junior developers.

What We’re Looking For:

• 3+ years of backend engineering experience in a fast-paced, product-focused environment.
• Proficiency in at least one modern backend language (e.g., Python, Go, Kotlin, Java).
• Experience designing and scaling backend systems, especially for high-throughput or low-latency environments.
• Strong knowledge of relational and non-relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB).
• Experience building and consuming RESTful and/or gRPC APIs.
• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure and containerization tools (AWS/GCP, Docker, Kubernetes).
• Strong problem-solving, debugging, and system design skills.
• A passion for writing clean, well-structured, and efficient code.

Bonus Points:

• Experience working in regulated industries such as fintech, banking, or insurance.
• Prior experience with event-driven architectures (Kafka, RabbitMQ, etc.).
• Understanding of secure coding practices and familiarity with compliance standards (SOC2, PCI, etc.).
• Contributions to open-source projects or technical blogs
