• Redis

• AWS

• REST APIs powering iOS, Android, and Web

• Open to Go and/or Rust for performance-critical services

• 5+ years building and shipping fintech software

• Deep expertise in at least one of:

  • Ledger systems

  • Payments processing

  • Stablecoin infrastructure

  • Risk / fraud systems

• Strong backend engineering experience (Postgres, Redis, AWS)

• Experience building B2C financial applications

• Ability to operate in a high-ownership, senior-level environment

• Full-stack capabilities are a strong plus

Whats in It for You

• $300K–$390K cash compensation (no equity risk required)

• Visa sponsorship available

• Relocation support provided

• Direct influence on technical vision and architecture

• Day 1 impact on products used by millions globally
