About the Role
We are hiring a Software Engineer to build and evolve core fintech applications across frontend, backend, APIs, and data layers. This role suits an engineer who can independently deliver complex features end-to-end, integrate third-party systems, apply sound engineering judgement, and begin influencing technical direction in a regulated environment.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain end-to-end features across frontend, backend services, APIs, and databases.
- Develop backend services primarily using PHP/Laravel and Node.js.
- Build maintainable, responsive UIs using a modern JavaScript framework such as Vue.js.
- Own features through design, development, testing, deployment, and iteration.
- Design and implement REST APIs with proper domain modelling, validation, versioning, and error handling.
- Apply best practices for authentication and authorization (e.g. JWT), idempotency, and backward compatibility.
- Integrate complex third-party systems — payment gateways, KYC/e-Sign, banking rails (e.g. NACH), and platform APIs.
- Identify and address performance, scalability, and reliability concerns early.
- Design and work with relational data models using MySQL and PostgreSQL.
- Write efficient queries and manage schema evolution safely.
- Ensure data accuracy, integrity, and traceability appropriate for financial systems.
- Build and deploy cloud-native services on AWS (e.g. S3, ECS, Cognito).
- Work with containerised workflows and CI/CD tooling (Docker, Jenkins, Git/Bitbucket).
- Use AI-assisted tools and agents for coding, code review, commits, and full git-flow automation.
- Validate AI outputs for correctness, security, and production readiness, with no sensitive data leakage.
- Participate in code reviews and contribute to testing and production stability.
- Diagnose and resolve production issues with a focus on root-cause prevention.
- Collaborate closely with product, design, QA, and platform teams.
Requirements
- 4–7 years of professional software engineering experience with strong ownership of production features and full-stack delivery, ideally within fintech or other regulated environments.
- Exposure to Python/FastAPI is a plus.
- Awareness of fintech security, reliability, and compliance expectations.
- Experience with automated testing frameworks.
- Experience mentoring junior engineers.
