• Collaborate with frontend (Flutter) and product teams to define and deliver end-to-end solutions.

• Optimize backend performance and database queries for speed and reliability.

• Manage and integrate cloud-based services (primarily AWS) to support backend operations.

• Occasionally assist in Flutter-based development for mobile/web, contributing to full-stack solutions.

• Ensure code quality through code reviews, testing, and adherence to best practices.

Requirements:

• 3+ years of hands-on experience in Node.js development.

• Strong proficiency in JavaScript and Node.js frameworks like Express.js.

• Solid understanding of REST APIs, GraphQL, and integration with frontend applications.

• Experience with PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or other relational and NoSQL databases.

• Familiarity with AWS services (e.g., Lambda, RDS, S3) and deploying backend applications in cloud environments.

• Basic knowledge of Flutter and Dart to collaborate effectively with frontend teams.

• Familiarity with Git, CI/CD pipelines, and backend testing frameworks. • Ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment while contributing to a collaborative engineering team.

Nice to Have:

• Experience building serverless applications (e.g., AWS Lambda, DynamoDB).

• Knowledge of security best practices in backend and API development.

• Exposure to fintech applications, compliance, and data protection requirements.

• Previous experience with complex databases and real-time data streams.

Required Qualifications

1. 10+ years of professional systems programming experience in Rust, C, or C++ (5+ years production Rust)
2. Mandatory: hands-on experience with financial trading systems — exchanges, order books, matching engines, OMS/RMS, or market data systems (equities, F&O, FX, commodities, or crypto)
3. Strong understanding of exchange mechanics — order types, price-time priority matching, spot trading, derivatives (futures/perpetuals), options, margining and liquidation concepts
4. Strong experience building production-grade, low-latency, high-throughput backend applications
5. Solid understanding of distributed systems and concurrent programming — Raft/consensus, replication, snapshots, deterministic state machines, exactly-once semantics
6. Advanced concurrency: lock-free/wait-free structures, ring buffers, thread-per-core design, core pinning
7. Strong understanding of networking concepts — TCP/IP, UDP, multicast, real-time communication, asynchronous networking
8. Experience designing and implementing binary communication protocols for inter-service communication (SBE, Protocol Buffers, FlatBuffers, Cap'n Proto)
9. Experience with microservices architecture and event-driven systems - Experience with messaging systems such as Aeron, Kafka, NATS, or similar high-performance platforms
10. Strong understanding of in-memory data structures and efficient memory management — cache lines, memory ordering, NUMA, allocation-free design
11. Experience working with relational databases and caching systems
12. Experience working in Linux-based production environments
13. Familiarity with containerization and modern deployment practices
14. Strong debugging, profiling, and benchmarking skills (perf, flamegraphs, Criterion) - Excellent problem-solving and analytical abilities; ability to work independently and take ownership of technical deliverables

Preferred Technical Experience

1. Tokio, Tonic (gRPC), Serde, Tracing, Criterion, Cargo/Clippy/Rustfmt - Aeron, LMAX Disruptor, Chronicle, or FIX engines
2. Kernel-bypass networking concepts (io_uring, DPDK, AF_XDP); hardware timestamping
3. Lock-free or wait-free programming techniques
4. Options pricing / Greeks / volatility surface exposure

Preferred Qualifications

1. Experience designing highly available and fault-tolerant systems (active-active, consensus-based failover)
2. Deterministic simulation / property-based testing of stateful systems
3. Exposure to cloud infrastructure and production monitoring tools
4. Open-source contributions (openraft, TigerBeetle, tokio, etc.) or personal Rust systems projects

Selection Process

1. 3 Rounds of Technical Interview
2. 1 Round of Management Interview
3. Shortlisting based on work evidence (repo/PR/design doc/write-up of a hard problem solved)
4. Systems design deep-dive (order book / matching engine design), hands-on coding round, distributed systems round

Role & Responsibilities

Take end-to-end ownership of critical backend services — from architecture and development to deployment and scale.

Design systems for performance, reliability, and observability. Identify bottlenecks and eliminate them proactively.

Collaborate with product and design to deeply understand user pain points and build the right solutions.

Work independently and own complex modules with minimal oversight.

Champion clean, maintainable code and help set a high bar for engineering excellence across the team.

Stay up-to-date with new tools, technologies, and backend trends — and bring the best ideas into our stack.

Ideal Candidate

2+ years of backend development experience, ideally with Kotlin and Spring Boot (or willingness to ramp up quickly).

You’ve worked in fast-moving teams and thrive when given room to figure things out.

You take initiative and can drive complex modules to completion without needing constant guidance.

Strong with both low-level and high-level design; you know how to build scalable, reliable RESTful APIs.

Proficient with relational databases and aware of common performance pitfalls.

Confident with debugging and optimizing — memory leaks, latency issues, and other hard-to-find problems don’t scare you.

You write clean, testable code and know how to leave systems better than you found them.

You bring a product mindset — caring not just about what’s built, but why and how it delivers value to users.
