A stealth-mode financial infrastructure company is building the core systems powering next-generation digital transactions - helping users move assets easily across traditional and decentralized financial systems.

We're scaling a platform that connects banks, payment providers, crypto networks, and identity services into one seamless transaction layer. This means handling high-volume payment routing, settlement, and security across multiple networks in real time.

What You'll Do:

  • Design and scale backend systems that move value securely across financial networks

  • Build APIs that manage wallets, payments, and identity workflows

  • Integrate with external providers like banks, exchanges, and verification platforms

  • Own transaction lifecycle logic, including reconciliation and compliance

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver secure, scalable infrastructure

  • Ensure performance and reliability at global scale

What We're Looking For:

  • 4+ years experience building distributed backend systems (Node.js / TypeScript preferred)

  • Experience in high-throughput, low-latency environments

  • Strong database experience (PostgreSQL, MySQL, DynamoDB)

  • Familiarity with cloud infrastructure and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CDK, etc.)

  • Knowledge of system networking, observability, and fault-tolerant architecture

  • Bonus: Experience in payments, fintech, or blockchain technologies

Why Join:

  • Help build core financial infrastructure for digital asset ecosystems

  • Work on real-world transaction challenges at scale

  • Collaborate with a high-impact, fast-moving team

  • Enjoy hybrid working with in-person collaboration and remote flexibility
