Material Bank is on the hunt for a Senior Backend Software Engineer (remote role) who’s passionate about solving real business problems with elegant code and smart systems.

This isn’t just another engineering role. You’ll join a nimble, high-impact team that works alongside — but independently from — our core engineering group. That means more autonomy, more creativity, and more opportunities to shape how we operate from the inside out.

We’re looking for someone with serious skills in Go, Python, or Java, with experience across AWS, API development, PostgreSQL, Kafka, and GraphQL. Your mission: build internal applications and integrations that streamline and supercharge the day-to-day work of teams across the company.

What You’ll Do

• Develop new internal applications and integrations, using Go and other relevant technologies.
• Design and implement scalable and modular application architecture.
• Utilize AWS services for hosting, deployment, and management of applications.
• Develop and maintain APIs (REST and GraphQL) for seamless communication between different systems and services.
• Design and manage databases using Postgres SQL for efficient data storage and retrieval.
• Implement message queueing systems using Kafka for asynchronous communication between services.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to gather requirements and implement solutions that meet business needs.
• Troubleshoot and debug issues in existing applications as needed.
• Stay updated on emerging technologies and industry trends to continuously improve development processes and practices.
  
  
  

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in software development, with a focus on backend and systems engineering.
• Proficiency in either Go, Python or Java.
• Experience with scalable architecture patterns (monolith or service-oriented).
• Hands-on experience with AWS services such as EC2, S3, Lambda, etc.
• Strong knowledge of API development (REST and GraphQL).
• Proficiency in Postgres SQL for database design and management.
• Familiarity with Kafka or similar message queueing systems.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced environment.
  
  
  

What you’ll get from us:

• Our people: If you thrive in an inclusive, innovative, and fast-paced organization, look no further! You will get to work alongside some of the brightest minds - Join a genuinely fun and supportive workplace where we keep our employees consistently engaged through internal communication and corporate events
• Relaxation and Celebrations: Flexible PTO, Sick Days, Paid National Holidays, and even more (ask us about this when we connect).
• Health Benefits: We contribute to your medical, dental, vision and short-term/long-term disability plans and have a strong employee assistance program.

• Giving Back: We sponsor multiple events throughout the year to help out our communities. You will receive time off to give back as well.
• Growth: We’ll help you take your career to the next level. We want you to be creative and take initiative which will allow you to grow and create within the company. Most importantly, be the best at what matters!
