Senior Backend Developer

What You'll Be Doing

• Build and scale backend systems that can handle tens of thousands of transactions per second.
• Design clean, well-structured APIs (REST & gRPC) that developers love.
• Work with modern stacks (NestJS, Node.js, Golang, PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, Redis, AWS EKS).
• Solve challenges around scalability, reliability, and security in high-throughput systems.
• Collaborate with product, platform, and security teams in a full-cycle ownership model—you build it, you run it.
• Take part in architecture design, code reviews, and shaping technical decisions that define the platform.
• Participate in a shared on-call rotation to ensure the reliability and availability of critical services (with proper support, tooling, and escalation policies in place).
  
  

• 3+ years of backend engineering experience (startup or high-growth environment a plus).
• Strong skills in Node.js, Golang, or similar backend languages.
• Experience with databases (Postgres, NoSQL) and scalable schema design.
• Strong skills with Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS—including services such as EKS (orchestration), RDS (PostgreSQL), ElastiCache (Redis), Secrets Manager, and IAM.
• Experience working in regulated environments (PCI DSS, SOC 2, or equivalent) and building security/compliance-ready systems.
• Passion for performance, clean code, and automation.
• Startup mindset: resourceful, curious, adaptable, and motivated to make an impact.
  
  

• Deep experience in fintech or payments infrastructure.
• Knowledge of observability tools (Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana).
• Prior work on distributed or ultra-high-throughput systems.
