Senior Backend Engineers (NCS/Job/ 3348)

Senior Backend Engineer
Full-time | On-site | Start: Immediate
About the Role
We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join our core engineering team and help build highthroughput,
low-latency services that power real-time trading at scale.
What We’re Looking For
You are someone who has built backend systems in a regulated, high-stakes environment — ideally fintech,
brokerage, payments, or banking. You think in terms of system reliability, data correctness, and operational
excellence. You take ownership of services end-to-end: from design and implementation through deployment,
monitoring, and incident response. You communicate clearly, make pragmatic trade-offs, and hold yourself and
your peers to a high engineering bar.
What You’ll Do
• Design, build, and own backend microservices for a real-time trading platform — from API contracts
through to production observability.
• Work with databases, caches, and event-driven architectures to ensure high availability and data
consistency across distributed systems.
• Build integrations with third-party financial services — clearing, settlement, identity verification, and
payment rails.
• Define and enforce engineering standards — code reviews, testing strategies, API design conventions,
and incident response processes.
• Collaborate with product, design, and cross-functional teams to translate business requirements into
well-scoped technical deliverables.
• Participate in on-call rotations and own production reliability for the services you build.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a culture of technical excellence and continuous improvement.
Must-Have
• 5+ years backend engineering experience with Golang and Java in production.
• Strong experience with PostgreSQL, Redis, and event-driven messaging (Kafka, NATS, or RabbitMQ).
• Experience building and maintaining REST/gRPC APIs at scale with proper error handling, rate limiting,
and versioning.
• Understanding of financial systems — ledgers, reconciliation, order lifecycle, or payment processing.
• Experience with microservices architecture, API gateways, and service-to-service communication
patterns.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and cloud infrastructure (AWS or
GCP).
• Strong debugging and incident-response skills in distributed systems.
Nice-to-Have
• Prior experience at a brokerage, wealth-tech, neo-bank, or payments company.
• Experience with clearing broker integrations or introducing broker models.
• Knowledge of compliance and regulatory requirements for cross-border financial products.
• Experience with search infrastructure (Typesense, Elasticsearch).
• Background in performance engineering — profiling, load testing, and latency optimization.
Tech Stack
Languages Golang (primary), Java; Python (analytics/scripting)
Databases PostgreSQL, Redis, Typesense
Messaging Kafka, NATS, SSE / WebSocket
Infrastructure Docker, Kubernetes, AWS/GCP, Terraform
Integrations Clearing broker APIs, KYC providers, payment gateways
Observability Datadog / Grafana, PagerDuty, structured logging (ELK)
What We Offer
• Greenfield build — architect core systems from scratch with modern tooling.
• Direct impact on a product serving real users trading in global markets.
• A small, focused team where your work ships fast and matters.
• Competitive compensation, equity participation, and flexible work culture.
• Exposure to fintech regulatory landscape across multiple jurisdictions.
