The Role 
We’re looking for a Backend Software Engineer to join our team to help build scalable, secure, and high-performing enterprise solutions for the financial industry.

As part of our process, we believe in taking the time for research and prototyping - this is critical in making the right decisions.
Given the experience of our team, we have naturally adopted best practices from local development, through code review and into production rollouts. Besides the standard pull requests, test automation, code coverage tracking, containerization, and one-click deployments we are constantly reviewing these foundational components to develop new best practices

  • Quick learner, self-motivated, and comfortable working with minimal supervision or dealing with ambiguity. 
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills (written and verbal).
  • Enjoys team collaboration, continuous learning, and building scalable solutions.
  • Data-driven mindset with a preference for experimentation and iterative improvement.
  • Fintech experience is a plus


  • Our Tech Stack
