  • Design scalable, secure, distributed systems that keep pace with rapid growth
  • Drive platform evolution through migration strategies and modernization initiatives
  • Lead backend API strategy and integrations with other fintech products and banking platforms
  • Mentor senior engineers, conduct architecture reviews, and champion best practices
  • Collaborate across product, design, business stakeholders, and technical counterparts
  • Research and evaluate emerging technologies, frameworks, and architectural patterns
  • Create and maintain architectural documentation, coding standards, and technical guidelines
  • Contribute to a fast, agile, engineering-driven culture that loves to experiment and move quickly

  • Deep expertise in distributed system design, microservices architecture, and cloud-native platforms
  • Advanced proficiency in C#, .NET Core, React.js, TypeScript, and modern web technologies
  • Extensive experience with Azure cloud services, containerization (Docker), and DevOps practices
  • Strong database background — both relational (SQL Server) and NoSQL (Cosmos DB)
  • Proven track record of making smart architectural decisions in high-scale, high-availability environments
  • Experience with API design, GraphQL, event-driven architectures, and integration patterns
  • Hands-on experience building SSO authorization and authentication systems (SAML, OAuth 2.0) (see more below)
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills in remote-first environments
  • A mentor’s mindset — you love helping senior engineers level up

  • Proven experience implementing SAML 2.0 SSO integrations, including signature verification and assertion processing
