About this role

About the Role This is a backend engineering role at the heart of a fintech team building compliance and identity infrastructure for businesses. You will design scalable, high-trust systems and help shape the engineering culture of a senior, distributed team solving a genuinely hard technical problem.

What You'll Do

Design and build backend systems that are clean, testable, and efficient.
Architect scalable APIs and infrastructure suited to high-trust, regulated environments.
Bring strong opinions on testing, quality, and long-term maintainability to every project.
Tackle complex product challenges by thinking deeply about user needs and system behavior.
Shape engineering practices and technical culture through collaboration and hands-on leadership. What We're Looking For
5 or more years of backend engineering experience building production APIs, distributed services, or backend systems; the team skews toward 7+ years.
Strong systems thinking: ability to see beyond individual features and reason about large-scale architectural problems.
Experience building in high-trust or regulated domains such as fintech, payments, or identity.
Hands-on experience with relational databases (Postgres or similar) in production.
Experience with message queues or event-driven architectures (RabbitMQ, Kafka, or similar).
Experience deploying and managing applications in containerized or cloud environments (Kubernetes, AWS, or similar).
A track record of writing automated tests and maintaining testable codebases.
Familiarity with Node.js, TypeScript, Express, and Event Sourcing patterns is a plus but not required.
Background at a high-caliber fintech, payments, or high-growth technology company is a strong signal.
