Role Overview 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.
Key Responsibilities Full-Stack Delivery - Design, build, and maintain end-to-end features across frontend, backend services, APIs, and databases.
API, Backend & Integrations - Design and implement REST APIs with proper domain modelling, validation, versioning, and error handling.

- 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.
Data & Persistence - 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.
Cloud & DevOps - Build and deploy cloud-native services on AWS (e.g. S3, ECS, SQS).
- Work with containerised workflows and CI/CD tooling (Docker, Jenkins, Git/Bitbucket).
Gen-AI & Engineering Productivity - 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.
- Exposure to spec driven development is a bonus
Quality & Collaboration - 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.
Required Skills - Strong backend experience in PHP/Laravel and/or Node.js.
- Solid frontend experience with a modern JavaScript framework (Next.js React.js preferred).
- Strong REST API and RDBMS fundamentals (MySQL/PostgreSQL).
- Experience integrating third-party systems and building secure, scalable services.
- Hands-on experience with cloud (AWS) and CI/CD tooling.
- Awareness of fintech security, reliability, and compliance expectations.
Preferred / Bonus - Experience with automated testing frameworks.
