Senior Backend Engineer

Required

• 5+ years of backend engineering experience, preferably in a fast-moving environment.
• Strong production backend experience with Node.js/TypeScript.
• Strong SQL skills and comfort working with relational databases, data warehouses, ETL/data pipelines, and messy real-world data.
• Experience designing APIs, services, jobs, data models, and contracts that other teams depend on.
• Experience in payments infrastructure.
• A track record of shipping systems where correctness, reliability, and operational clarity matter.
• High agency and proactive: you do not need fully specified tickets, and you know how to create clarity when the problem is vague.
• Strong written and verbal communication. You can explain tradeoffs, and failure modes.
• Product judgment for internal users. You care whether the system actually improves underwriting decisions and workflows, not just whether the code shipped.
• Experience with AWS, Postgres, Snowflake, queues, async jobs, observability tooling, and third-party financial APIs.
• Excitement around building AI-native infrastructure and agentic workflows, both within the engineering team as well as broader credit and data science teams.
• Excited to experiment with AI tools.
