• Work with APIs and third-party integrations within the payments or financial ecosystem
• Ensure code quality, performance, and scalability across services
• Support deployment and monitoring of services in a cloud-based environment

Product & Feature Delivery

• Collaborate with Product Managers and Designers to translate requirements into working features
• Build and improve customer-facing functionalities related to transactions, balances, and financial data
• Continuously refine system flows to improve performance, reliability, and user experience
• Participate in planning, code reviews, and team discussions
• Contribute ideas to improve system design, development workflows, and team efficiency
• Take ownership of tasks and adapt to shifting priorities in a fast-paced environment

Other Responsibilities

• Support additional engineering or product initiatives as needed
• Identify opportunities to improve processes, systems, and performance
• Contribute to a collaborative and high-performing team environment

About You

• 2–4 years of experience in software engineering, with a strong focus on backend development
• Proven experience as a full-stack developer, with deeper specialization in backend systems and architecture
• Solid foundation in programming, system design, and problem-solving
• Hands-on experience building and integrating APIs, backend services, and cloud-based systems
• Familiarity with modern development tools, frameworks, and environments (any major language or stack)
• Experience with mobile development frameworks such as React Native is a plus
• Ability to quickly learn new technologies and adapt to different tools, frameworks, or environments
• Comfortable working in fast-paced, agile, or evolving environments
