The position offers exposure to modern backend technologies, distributed systems, and cloud-native patterns while giving you the opportunity to influence product decisions throughout the entire development lifecycle. This is an ideal role for engineers who thrive in fast-paced, remote-first environments and enjoy shaping resilient systems that support millions of daily transactions. Accountabilities Collaborate with frontend, design, QA, and product teams to deliver seamless user and system experiences.

Contribute to system scalability, performance optimization, and architectural improvements. Support smooth integration with other internal systems, ensuring consistent delivery standards. Strong expertise in backend development with Node.js and TypeScript, along with proficiency in at least one additional server-side language. Advanced SQL experience, particularly with PostgreSQL, including query optimization, modeling, and migrations. Solid understanding of object-oriented programming and design patterns, especially when extending complex class structures. Experience designing scalable, high-performance systems that handle large transaction volumes, concurrency, and idempotency. Strong API development skills, including input validation, security best practices, JWT authentication, and queue-based patterns. Minimum of 4 years of professional experience as a software engineer. Excellent communication, autonomy, remote collaboration skills, and a customer-focused mindset. Ability to explain complex concepts clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders. Positive, solution-oriented attitude and a business-focused approach to engineering decisions. Nice to have: Experience working with SaaS products operating at scale. Familiarity with serverless architectures on AWS. Understanding of fintech systems and sector-specific challenges. Competitive compensation and fair reward programs aligned with your role and location. Stock grant opportunities depending on role and employment status. Country-specific perks and benefits supporting health, wellbeing, and work-life balance. Full flexibility with remote work, with optional access to co-working spaces when available.
