Backend Engineer • Senior

Who you are

You have 5+ years of backend engineering experience building production systems at scale — you've owned services from design through deployment and have navigated the complexities of integrating with third-party financial systems. Your expertise in Java and REST APIs allows you to architect and implement complex features that enhance user experience and operational efficiency.

You are familiar with continuous deployment practices and understand the importance of data accuracy and reliability in financial transactions — you thrive in environments where you can contribute to high-impact projects and collaborate closely with product managers and other engineers. Your growth mindset drives you to seek out new challenges and learn from your experiences.

You value pragmatism and ownership in your work — you take pride in shipping clean, maintainable code and are comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment. You appreciate the importance of teamwork and communication, ensuring that business requirements are effectively translated into technical solutions.

Desirable

Experience with financial systems or SaaS products is a plus — you understand the unique challenges that come with handling sensitive financial data and are committed to maintaining high standards of security and compliance. Familiarity with PostgreSQL or similar databases will help you optimize data storage and retrieval processes.
