What You'll Own

  • Build backend services and APIs for onboarding, accounts, payments, cards, transfers, rewards, travel, FX, KYC and risk flows.
  • Design reliable systems that can support real customer transactions, operational workflows and future financial products.
  • Integrate with internal systems, financial partners, payment providers, AI services and third-party platforms.
  • Own backend quality across reliability, security, latency, observability, data integrity and incident handling.
  • Work with product, frontend, mobile and AI teams to launch features quickly and safely.
  • Improve existing systems by simplifying flows, removing manual work and automating repeatable processes.

What We're Looking For

  • Strong backend engineering experience in production systems.
  • Good understanding of APIs, databases, authentication, authorization, queues, jobs, events and integrations.
  • Experience building services used by real customers or internal operations at meaningful scale.
  • Strong debugging, reliability, security and data quality mindset.
  • Able to make practical trade-offs between speed, correctness, scalability and maintainability.
  • Fintech, payments, banking, wallet, KYC, fraud or risk experience is a strong plus, but not required if fundamentals are strong.

This Role Is Not For

  • Engineers who only want isolated backend tasks.
  • People who ignore security, data consistency, monitoring or operational risk.
  • Developers who cannot work with fast-changing product requirements.
  • Candidates who talk about scale but have not handled production systems.
  • People who exaggerate impact without being clear on ownership.
