Who you are

You have 5+ years of backend engineering experience, particularly in building production systems at scale. You've owned services from design through deployment and have navigated complex distributed systems issues with confidence. Your expertise in Java and Spring is deep — you've shipped high-throughput APIs that handle millions of requests and have strong opinions on service architecture and testing strategies. You thrive in environments where you can mentor junior engineers, sharing your knowledge and helping them grow. You are committed to delivering high-quality, secure products and understand the importance of nonfunctional requirements such as scalability and availability. You are a team player who values collaboration and outcome-driven development, and you care deeply about solving customer problems with precision.

Desirable

Experience with cloud platforms like AWS or Azure would be a plus, as well as familiarity with microservices architecture. If you have worked in the identity verification or fraud prevention space, that would be highly beneficial. You are comfortable with agile methodologies and have a knack for producing enterprise-class software solutions.

What you'll do

In this role, you will design, develop, test, and debug components for distributed systems that operate at large scale and high speed. You will own and drive nonfunctional requirements such as scalability, availability, and security, ensuring that the systems you build are robust and reliable. You will develop and maintain unit and integration tests, achieving comprehensive code coverage. Collaborating closely with cross-functional teams, you will contribute to the overall architecture and design of the systems, ensuring they meet the needs of the business and its customers. You will also mentor junior engineers, guiding them through best practices and helping them navigate challenges in their work. Your contributions will directly impact the company's mission to eliminate identity fraud, making a difference in the digital economy.
