Job Description:


We’re looking for a senior backend engineer who can architect and scale core systems, take full ownership of complex technical problems, and move quickly with minimal oversight. You should have startup DNA, a product mindset, and a deep understanding of system design at scale.

What You’ll Do:

  • Lead the architecture, development, and optimization of our backend systems
  • Own critical services end-to-end — from design to deployment and monitoring
  • Mentor junior and mid-level engineers, and establish best practices
  • Collaborate closely with product and business teams to shape the roadmap
  • Identify performance bottlenecks and make real-time, high-impact improvements

What We’re Looking For:

  • 6–10+ years of backend engineering experience (preferably in high-growth startups)
  • Deep expertise in system architecture, microservices, and API design
  • Strong proficiency in at least one backend language (Go, Rust, Python, Java, or Node.js)
  • Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP), CI/CD, monitoring, and security
  • Bias toward action — you can ship fast and scale smart

Preferred But Not Required:

  • Experience in fintech, infra, or real-time systems
  • Prior experience as a tech lead or founding engineer
