Position Overview

This role is for a hands‑on Senior Engineer who will help build and scale backend systems for a growing banking platform. You will play a key role in designing and implementing secure, scalable data and API solutions, ensuring proper data separation and access controls across business entities. This role operates in a highly ambiguous, evolving environment, requiring someone who can take high‑level direction, translate it into technical solutions, and execute with minimal oversight.

Key Responsibilities

• Backend & API Development
  • Design and develop backend services using Node.js (TypeScript) and Java
  • Build and maintain GraphQL APIs (including subgraphs) to support frontend and cross‑system integrations
• Data Architecture & Security
  • Design data models and access patterns in DynamoDB
  • Ensure strict data separation and access controls between business entities (e.g., bank vs. financial advisory systems)
  • Implement solutions that ensure the right users see the right data based on roles and permissions
• System Design in an Ambiguous Environment
  • Translate high‑level business vision into practical engineering solutions
  • Make architectural decisions with limited information and evolving requirements
  • Identify what is in your control vs. what is not, and move forward effectively
• DevOps & Engineering Practices
  • Contribute to CI/CD pipelines and automation
  • Build systems with a focus on scalability, resilience, and observability
  • Continuously improve engineering practices and deployment processes
  • Collaboration & Leadership
    • Work closely with product, frontend engineers, and stakeholders to deliver solutions
    • Provide technical guidance and mentorship to team members
    • Influence technical direction through collaboration, not authority

  • Strong backend development experience with:
    • Node.js / TypeScript
    • Java & Spring Boot (API development)
  • Experience working with AWS Cloud

  • Hands‑on experience with NoSQL databases (DynamoDB preferred)
  • Strong understanding of:
    • Data modeling and access patterns
    • API design and system integration
    • Secure data access and role-based visibility controls
    • Kafka and event‑driven architecture
    • Experience working in fast‑changing, ambiguous environments
    • Solid understanding of DevOps practices (CI/CD, monitoring, reliability)
    • Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills across application and data layers
