The product:

The client is building a core workflow platform used by specialized financial service providers to manage account lifecycles. The product functions similarly to a CRM, but instead of tracking sales leads, it’s designed to handle complex workflows around financial accounts. It also includes deep integrations with multiple payment platforms, making it a mix of operational tooling and fintech infrastructure.

About the Client:

We're looking for someone to help lay the groundwork for reliability and scalability efforts while also contributing directly to backend development. This role involves a healthy mix—roughly 70% backend engineering and 30% infrastructure and reliability work. The ideal candidate will be hands-on with backend features and integrations, but also comfortable working with cloud infrastructure, observability, and tooling that support engineering efficiency. Experience with technologies like container orchestration, relational databases, and cloud environments is a big plus. Given the lean nature of the team, versatility and initiative will be key.
