As a member of a lean, high-impact engineering team, you will have significant autonomy and influence over technical direction. You’ll collaborate closely with Product, Data, Compliance, and Operations to deliver scalable solutions that support our growth.

• Participate in architecture discussions and contribute to technical design decisions
• Collaborate with Product and Design to translate business requirements into technical solutions
• Monitor, troubleshoot, and resolve production issues with a focus on reliability and performance
• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and infrastructure-as-code practices
• Support compliance and security requirements, including SOC 2 readiness, data encryption, and access controls
• Participate in code reviews and provide constructive feedback to peers
• Proactively identify and address technical debt, performance bottlenecks, and areas for improvement

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of professional software engineering experience in a production environment
• Strong proficiency in one or more backend languages (e.g., Python, Node.js, Go, Java, or TypeScript)
• Experience with modern front-end frameworks (e.g., React, Next.js, or Vue)
• Solid understanding of relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and data modeling
• Experience with RESTful API design and implementation
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Experience with version control (Git) and collaborative development workflows
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently in a remote environment
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in fintech, payments, or financial services
• Familiarity with card network integrations (Mastercard, Visa) or payment processing platforms
• Experience building systems that handle sensitive financial data with compliance requirements (PCI-DSS, SOC 2)
• Experience with event-driven architectures, message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS), or real-time data processing
• Exposure to data engineering or analytics pipelines
• Prior experience at an early-stage or high-growth startup
