Description

Software Engineer (Full Stack) Experience 4–7 years of professional software engineering experience with strong ownership of production features and full-stack delivery, ideally within fintech or other regulated environments.

Role Overview We are hiring a Software Engineer to build and evolve core fintech applications across frontend, backend, APIs, and data layers. This role suits an engineer who can independently deliver complex features end-to-end, integrate third-party systems, apply sound engineering judgement, and begin influencing technical direction in a regulated environment.

Key Responsibilities Full-Stack Delivery

  • Design, build, and maintain end-to-end features across frontend, backend services, APIs, and databases.
  • Develop backend services primarily using PHP/Laravel and Node.js (exposure to Python/FastAPI is a plus).
  • Build maintainable, responsive UIs using a modern JavaScript framework such as Vue.js.
  • Own features through design, development, testing, deployment, and iteration.

API, Backend & Integrations

  • Design and implement REST APIs with proper domain modelling, validation, versioning, and error handling.
  • Apply best practices for authentication and authorization (e.g. JWT), idempotency, and backward compatibility.
  • Integrate complex third-party systems — payment gateways, KYC/e-Sign, banking rails (e.g. NACH), and platform APIs.
  • Identify and address performance, scalability, and reliability concerns early.

Data & Persistence

  • Design and work with relational data models using MySQL and PostgreSQL.
  • Write efficient queries and manage schema evolution safely.
  • Ensure data accuracy, integrity, and traceability appropriate for financial systems.

Cloud & DevOps

  • Build and deploy cloud-native services on AWS (e.g. S3, ECS, Cognito).
  • Work with containerised workflows and CI/CD tooling (Docker, Jenkins, Git/Bitbucket).

Gen-AI & Engineering Productivity

  • Use AI-assisted tools and agents for coding, code review, commits, and full git-flow automation.
  • Validate AI outputs for correctness, security, and production readiness, with no sensitive data leakage.

Quality & Collaboration

  • Participate in code reviews and contribute to testing and production stability.
  • Diagnose and resolve production issues with a focus on root-cause prevention.
  • Collaborate closely with product, design, QA, and platform teams.

Required Skills

  • Strong backend experience in PHP/Laravel and/or Node.js.
  • Solid frontend experience with a modern JavaScript framework (Vue.js preferred).
  • Strong REST API and RDBMS fundamentals (MySQL/PostgreSQL).
  • Experience integrating third-party systems and building secure, scalable services.
  • Hands-on experience with cloud (AWS) and CI/CD tooling.
  • Awareness of fintech security, reliability, and compliance expectations.

Preferred / Bonus

  • Python/FastAPI exposure.
  • Experience with automated testing frameworks.
  • Experience mentoring junior engineers.
