Our client needs a backend engineer who can own outcomes, not just ship tickets. You will work on the core infrastructure powering onboarding and investment flows for a product serving a globally distributed, financially complex user base.

• Design and build backend systems supporting onboarding and investment flows at scale
• Own API development and ensure reliable integrations with third-party financial services
• Treat compliance and regulatory requirements as first-class concerns in system design
• Contribute to infrastructure decisions affecting performance, reliability, and security
• Collaborate with product and frontend to ship end-to-end features The Role Holder:
• You have 4 to 9 years of backend engineering experience, primarily in Python and Django
• You have worked in a start-up and know how to move fast without cutting corners
• You understand API-driven architecture and have built integration-heavy systems
• You are comfortable in compliance-heavy or regulated product contexts, with fintech experience as a strong plus
• You take ownership of outcomes and work well with limited hand-holding
