We’re looking for a Backend Engineer to join us early, own critical systems, and help shape both the product and the engineering culture from day one.
Responsibilities will include but are not limited to:
- Our stack is Go on AWS with Postgres at the core, and we’re integrating AI (Gemini today, expanding further) to automate and optimize complex financial workflows.
- Own core backend systems end-to-end, including APIs, data models, and services powering FX, payments, and financial workflows
- Design and build scalable services in Go, with a strong focus on correctness, performance, and reliability
- Work deeply with AWS infrastructure, including deployment, observability, security, and cost optimization
- Design and operate Postgres schemas for financial-grade systems (idempotency, consistency, auditability)
- Build and integrate AI-powered features using Gemini (and future LLMs) to automate workflows like reconciliation, invoice processing, and decision support
- Collaborate directly with founders on product decisions, system architecture, and technical tradeoffs
- Set engineering foundations: coding standards, system design patterns, CI/CD, and best practices
- Move fast while maintaining quality, balancing startup speed with long-term maintainability
- Strong experience with Go in production systems
- Solid backend fundamentals: APIs, distributed systems, concurrency, and data modeling
- Hands-on experience with AWS, including deploying and operating production services
- Deep familiarity with Postgres, including schema design, indexing, and performance considerations
- Comfort working in early-stage environments with ambiguity, ownership, and rapid iteration

- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to make pragmatic tradeoffs
- Experience building fintech, payments, or financial systems
- Exposure to LLMs / AI systems (Gemini, OpenAI, etc.) in real products
- Experience with compliance-heavy systems (audit logs, permissions, approvals)
