📜 Description
- Build and maintain scalable backend services for financial transactions and customer-facing products.
- Develop APIs and event-driven services, and optimize relational and non-relational databases.
- Own backend features from technical design through deployment, monitoring, and iteration.
- Integrate LLM-powered features and safely handle AI outputs, failures, and low-confidence results.
- Improve service observability, CI/CD, testing, and production reliability; participate in on-call and incident reviews.
- Collaborate across engineering, product, compliance, and data teams, contributing documentation and design reviews.
🛠️ Requirements
- 5+ years of professional backend engineering experience building and operating production systems.
- Fluent in English — professional fluency required for daily work with global teams in written and spoken contexts.
- Strong proficiency in at least one backend language: Go, Python, or Node.js/TypeScript.
- Experience designing and building RESTful APIs, microservices, and event-driven backend systems.
- Solid understanding of relational databases (PostgreSQL preferred): schema design, query optimization, and data modeling.
- Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and CI/CD pipelines.
- Demonstrated ability to integrate third-party APIs reliably in production — including error handling, retry logic, and observability.
- Experience working on globally distributed teams across time zones and regions.
- Comfortable using AI tools as part of everyday engineering work — integrating LLM API outputs into backend services and using AI coding assistants fluently.
- Experience in fintech, financial services, payments, or a regulated industry — familiarity with ledger systems, payment rails, or financial compliance (KYC/AML, PCI-DSS) is a strong plus.
