• Data Pipelines & Integration: Build and maintain structured pipelines for data collection, ETL processes, and real-time streaming, integrating seamlessly with core banking and blockchain nodes.
• AI & LLM Integration: Work closely with cross-functional engineering and data teams to embed predictive analytics, smart financial categorization, and LLM-driven features into customer-facing applications.
• API Architecture: Design secure, predictable, and well-documented RESTful and gRPC APIs to connect internal microservices and external fintech ecosystem partners.
• Database Management: Optimize queries, schemas, and indexing strategies for both relational databases (PostgreSQL) and caching systems (Redis).
• Code Quality & Best Practices: Participate in rigorous code reviews, write comprehensive unit/integration tests, and contribute to internal architectural standards.
  
  

Requirements

• Experience: 3+ years of professional software engineering experience with a strong focus on Python.
• Framework Proficiency: Deep hands-on experience with FastAPI, asynchronous programming in Python (asyncio), and related package ecosystems.
• Database Skills: Solid understanding of SQL (PostgreSQL) and NoSQL solutions, including query optimization, handling high-concurrency connections, and practical experience with vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Milvus, or Weaviate) for semantic search and AI retrieval architectures.
• Infrastructure & Tools: Comfortable working with Docker, CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions/GitLab CI), and cloud services (AWS or GCP).
• Fintech Mindset: Basic understanding of financial architectures, transaction flows, encryption standards, or crypto-fiat transactional systems.
• Team player: Exceptional problem-solving skills and a strong capacity to collaborate in a distributed, remote-first setup.
• Language Skills: Professional proficiency in English (B2+).
  
  

Bonus Points

• Multi-language stack: Experience with or exposure to Node.js / TypeScript.
• AI-Augmented Workflows: Regular use of tools like Cursor, Claude, or GitHub Copilot to accelerate development cycles.

• Rest & Recovery: 24 days of annual leave, dedicated paid sick leave, and observance of Public Holidays to keep you at your best.
• Recharge Week: After your first year with us, enjoy two consecutive 4-day work weeks annually — a built-in reset to help you sustain peak performance for the long run.
