Job description

At Midas, we tackle real-world engineering challenges to reshape the future of finance. Our mission is to build the fastest and most reliable products, delivering a seamless experience that empowers everyone to manage their money effortlessly.

More than 3.5 million users use our product.

Backed by an $80M Series B, the largest fintech investment ever in Turkey, we are scaling faster than ever.

Read Before You Apply 🚨

This role is not for everyone. We are looking for outlier engineers who:

• Have owned products end-to-end, from idea to production monitoring.
• Have managed live incidents, written post-mortems, and implemented long-term fixes.
• Passionate about delivering exceptional product experiences and maximizing user impact, beyond just writing code.
• Years of experience don’t matter — what matters is the depth of ownership, incident handling, and product impact you’ve delivered.
• If this doesn’t sound like you, no worries — Midas has other opportunities that may be a better fit.

What You’ll Do

• Design and build scalable, low-latency systems powering real-time trading and financial data.
• Take full ownership: from ideation, architecture, development, release & monitoring in production.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product, design, and infrastructure teams to deliver impactful features.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong fundamentals in computer science and system design.
• Hands-on backend development experience.
• Deep knowledge of relational databases, caching systems, and distributed systems.
• Proficient in containerized environments and modern cloud infrastructure, ensuring resilient and efficient deployments
• Familiarity with event-driven architectures, microservices, reactive programming models.
• Proven incident response experience in large-scale production environments is a strong plus.
• Prior exposure to financial or mission-critical systems is a strong plus.

How We Work

• Full ownership — you don’t wait, you solve.
• First principles mindset — you question assumptions and rebuild where needed.
• Balance speed & quality — you ship fast, but always clean.
• Product mindset — you care about the user impact, not just the code.
• Calm under pressure — incidents happen; you lead with clarity and composure.

We don’t measure success by how many features you ship — but by the impact your work has on millions of users. If you thrive in high-stakes environments, love solving real problems, and own your work end-to-end, we want to meet you.
