We are looking for a highly hands-on **Founding Engineer** to help build a fintech and neobank platform from the ground up. This role is suited for an engineer who combines strong backend architecture expertise with the ability to write production-grade code and take complete ownership of critical technology initiatives.

You will work closely with the founders to design and build core financial infrastructure covering **KYC/KYB, accounts, payments, cards, FX, and multi-currency money movement**. The role requires deep ownership, strong engineering judgment, and experience building reliable financial systems where correctness, security, resilience, and operational visibility are critical.

## Requirements

Key Responsibilities

-   Develop production-grade backend services for accounts, payments, cards, KYC/KYB, FX, and multi-currency transactions.
-   Design **provider-independent integrations** with banks, payment providers, card networks, and financial infrastructure partners.
-   Build reliable financial **ledger, reconciliation, and transaction-processing systems**.
-   Design transaction state machines covering successful, pending, failed, reversed, and recovery scenarios.
-   Implement robust **idempotency, retries, webhook processing, failure recovery, and event-driven workflows**.
-   Design secure and scalable APIs, databases, queues, and supporting infrastructure.
-   Implement access controls, transaction limits, risk controls, and operational safeguards.
-   Build monitoring, logging, alerting, and operational tooling required to support production financial systems.
-   Own database architecture, data models, performance, reliability, and data integrity.
-   Design and manage deployment infrastructure and production environments.
-   Write clean, maintainable, well-tested production code and establish strong engineering standards.
-   Investigate complex production issues and drive root-cause analysis and sustainable fixes.
-   Work directly with founders to translate business requirements into scalable technical solutions.
-   Make pragmatic architecture and technology decisions in a fast-moving startup environment.
-   Contribute across the full technology stack when required, while maintaining strong backend ownership.
-   Continuously improve system reliability, security, scalability, observability, and engineering efficiency.

What Makes You a Great Fit

-   **4+ years of strong software engineering experience**, with ability and impact valued alongside years of experience.
-   Proven experience personally **shipping live fintech, payments, banking, or financial technology systems** to production.
-   Strong hands-on experience with backend architecture, distributed systems, APIs, databases, queues, and production infrastructure.
-   Experience designing systems involving **payments, ledgers, reconciliation, transactions, money movement, or financial integrations**.
-   Strong understanding of idempotency, retries, webhooks, state machines, failure handling, and transaction consistency.
-   Experience integrating with external banking, payment, card, or financial service providers.
-   Strong ownership of architecture as well as hands-on implementation and production delivery.
-   Experience working in a **startup, neobank, fintech, or high-growth technology environment** is preferred.
-   Strong proficiency in **Node.js/TypeScript** is preferred; equivalent backend expertise in another modern technology stack is welcome.
-   Experience with **PostgreSQL, Redis, AWS, Docker, and cloud-native deployment** is desirable.
-   Familiarity with **React/Next.js** or full-stack development is an advantage.
-   Strong understanding of security, access control, data integrity, and reliability requirements for financial systems.

-   Strong communication and collaboration skills with the ability to work directly with founders and business stakeholders.
-   Comfortable taking broad ownership in an early-stage environment and contributing wherever engineering priorities require.
-   Passion for building foundational systems from zero and taking products from architecture through production.
