Description

About our Team: Our team is building a new generation of digital financial platforms and applications focused on reliability, scalability, and innovation. As a Senior Backend Engineer at GoTymeX, you will collaborate with skilled engineers to design, develop, and maintain backend services that power our digital banking products. You will work closely with cross-functional teams in a dynamic Agile environment, ensuring high-quality deliverables from development through deployment and monitoring. Responsibilities: Design, develop, test, deploy, and maintain backend services and APIs that meet performance, scalability, and security requirements. Participate in architectural discussions and contribute technical expertise to enhance system design. Collaborate effectively with team members across DevOps, QA, and product teams to deliver features on schedule. Troubleshoot and resolve production issues to ensure service availability and reliability. Continuously improve code quality through code reviews, refactoring, and automation. Must-have Qualifications: At least 3 years of experience in backend software development. Strong programming skills in one or more programming languages such as Python, or equivalent. Experience working with relational and NoSQL databases, including schema design and query optimization. Familiarity with cloud platforms, preferably AWS, and container technologies. Solid understanding of software development lifecycle and Agile methodologies. Ability to analyze complex problems and design appropriate solutions. Effective communication skills and ability to work in a collaborative environment. Preferred Qualifications: Proficiency in microservices architecture, event-driven systems, and serverless computing environments. Experience with Python frameworks including Django and Flask. Familiarity with container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes and automation tools such as Ansible or Terraform. Prior experience within the financial or banking sectors is considered advantageous. Desired Skills: AI/LLM Engineering: Demonstrated experience integrating large language models for applications including customer support chatbots, document processing, or decision support systems. Understanding of Financial Concepts: Knowledge of transaction lifecycles, accounting, reconciliation, and settlement processes. Proficiency in programming languages including Golang, Python. Experience with frameworks within the Spring ecosystem, recognizing that the majority of backend services utilize Spring technologies. Familiarity with AWS services such as ECS/EKS, Fargate, Aurora, DynamoDB, Lambda, RDS/Aurora, MSK, SQS/SNS, EventBridge, S3, among others. Our Engineering Principles: In addition to technical skills, we seek individuals who embody the following core principles: Simplicity over complexity: Prioritize the simplest effective solutions; complexity presents unnecessary challenges and costs. Lean over lavish: Design cost-effective architectures that maximize value. Critically evaluate all expenditures. Pragmatism over perfection: Deliver value incrementally. Strive for a "good enough" solution today rather than a "perfect" solution indefinitely. Outcomes over outputs: Assess success based on tangible business impact—such as loans disbursed, default rates reduced, or costs saved—rather than technical elegance alone. Enablement over heroics: Foster team success and collaboration rather than relying on individual heroics. Learning over knowing: Embrace a growth mindset by acknowledging gaps in knowledge, experimenting, learning from failures, and iterating rapidly. Empathy over ego: Listen attentively, respect diverse perspectives, and assume positive intent in all interactions.
