Job description

About the Role

Join a fintech engineering team building and scaling financial products and backend platform capabilities. You will help deliver reliable accounting and financial workflows that support how businesses manage money.

What You'll Do

  • Own accounting integration projects from problem definition and technical design through launch, iteration, and ongoing operation.

  • Build reliable, scalable backend services for accounting and financial workflows, and support expansion into adjacent product areas.

  • Translate ambiguous product and business problems into simple, durable technical solutions.

  • Learn customers' accounting and financial operations needs and apply that context to product and engineering decisions.

  • Partner with Product, Design, Operations, Compliance, and external providers on complex initiatives.

  • Balance fast delivery with the reliability required for financial workflows and money movement.

  • Raise engineering quality through clear communication, system design, code quality, and mentorship.

What We're Looking For

  • 5 to 10 or more years of experience building production backend systems, APIs, services, or distributed systems.

  • Strong product judgment, customer curiosity, and comfort working through ambiguity in fast-paced, high-growth environments.

  • Experience collaborating across technical and non-technical teams, including external partners.

  • Background in fintech, accounting, payroll, payments, banking, compliance-heavy products, or complex third-party integrations is valuable.

  • Experience with Python, Go, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kubernetes, or GCP is helpful, but an exact match is not required.

  • End-to-end project ownership is valuable, as is deep expertise in complex systems.
