● 4–7 years of backend development experience with Python or Golang.
● Strong expertise in designing, developing, and scaling microservices and distributed
systems.
● Solid understanding of concurrency, multi-threading, and performance optimization.
● Proficiency with databases (SQL/NoSQL), caching systems (Redis, Memcached),
and messaging systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ, etc.).
● Hands-on experience with Linux development, Docker, and Kubernetes.
● Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure) and related services.
● Strong debugging, profiling, and optimization skills for production-grade systems.
● Experience with AI-powered development tools is a strong plus; familiarity with
concepts like 'agentic coding' for workflow automation or 'context engineering' for
leveraging LLMs in system design is highly desirable.
● Ability to lead technical initiatives and mentor junior engineers.
What you will do:
● Design and build features for our web applications — front end and back end, using Ruby on Rails, Python, JavaScript, and React
● Work across the stack: databases, APIs, and the plumbing that connects them
● Take a feature from first line to shipped — you'll touch every phase of the build, not just one slice of it
● Test for performance, security, and the edge cases that actually break things in production
● Work directly with the rest of the team on shared infrastructure, not off in a corner
● Push for better tools and approaches as the codebase grows, instead of settling for "it's always been done this way
What you need
● 0-1 years of professional experience building with Ruby on Rails, Java, Python, JavaScript/React, or Node
● Comfortable with JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and jQuery on the front end
● A real grip on data structures and algorithms — not just the interview-prep version
● Solid object-oriented design instincts
● You'd rather write simple, clean code than clever code
● Comfortable with relational databases day-to-day
● Working knowledge of NoSQL is a plus, not a requirement
● Some interest in the math and stats side of finance helps — you don't need to be an expert.
Also running in production here — OPTIONAL / NICE TO KNOW You won't be hired against this list. Prior exposure is a genuine plus, and you'll bump into these once you're in — but not knowing them isn't a blocker.
● Rust — pricing & risk engines
● Go — auth & billing services
● AWS Lambda
● API Gateway
● Redis
● DynamoDB
● CI/CD pipelines
