Role Overview:

We’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer who can architect, build, and scale critical backend systems. You’ll work on high-throughput financial workflows, third-party integrations, and transaction-heavy systems - potentially including crypto/blockchain rails as we expand.

This is not a “ticket-closing” role. This is a systems-thinking, architecture-owning role.

What You’ll Do

• Design and own scalable backend architecture
  

• Build high-performance APIs handling real-money transactions
  

• Lead system design discussions and technical decisions
  

• Architect reliable integrations with financial institutions, brokers, payment partners, and crypto/blockchain providers
  

• Improve system resilience, observability, and fault tolerance
  

• Optimize databases and reduce latency across services
  

• Establish engineering best practices and mentor junior engineers
  

• Handle production incidents and drive long-term fixes
  

Tech Stack

• Our backend is primarily built on Node.js, with Python used for select services.
  

• We use Express.js and FastAPI to build scalable APIs.
  

• Our data layer runs on PostgreSQL and MongoDB, with Redis used for caching and performance optimization.
  

• We leverage Kafka and RabbitMQ for asynchronous and event-driven workflows.
  

• Our infrastructure is hosted on AWS, with Docker and CI/CD pipelines enabling smooth deployments.
  

• We design and maintain REST APIs and Webhooks for integrations.
  

• Infrastructure: AWS / GCP (EC2, RDS, S3, Lambda, IAM, VPC and equivalent)
  

• Containerization & CI/CD: Docker, automated pipelines
  

• API Standards: REST, Webhooks, async callbacks
  

• Security: OAuth2, JWT, encryption at rest and in transit
  

Requirements

What We’re Looking For

• 6–8 years of strong backend engineering experience with 2+ years leading architecture or owning critical systems
  

• Deep understanding of distributed systems and system design
  

• Experience building high-transaction, low-latency systems
  

• Strong experience with database optimization and scaling
  

• Production experience with AWS and google cloud infrastructure
  

• Experience in crypto / blockchain / digital assets infrastructure is highly preferred
  

Domain Knowledge (Highly Preferred)

• Crypto / blockchain infrastructure
  

• Wallet architecture (custodial or non-custodial)
  

• On-chain vs off-chain transaction workflows
  

• Stablecoins, token transfers, gas mechanics
  

• Banking rails (ACH, SWIFT, RTGS, SEPA)
  

• Understanding of compliance-sensitive systems (KYC/AML flows)
  

Leadership & Ownership

• Strong technical decision-making skills
  

• Ability to balance speed vs. system safety
  

• Comfortable operating in high-accountability environments
  

• Clear communicator with product and business stakeholders
