ABOUT THE ROLE
We’re building a next-generation financial technology platform from the ground up.
As our Founding Engineer, you will own core product architecture across backend, frontend, and DevOps.
This is not “just another developer” role — you will shape the technical direction, build for scale, and help define the product vision alongside the founders.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Build, deploy, and maintain an end-to-end MERN application (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.Js).
- Architect scalable APIs, authentication/authorization flows, and data pipelines for financial analytics.
- Stand up CI/CD, staging environments, and containerized deployments (Docker/Kubernetes).
- Collaborate with founders on product design, technical roadmap, and customer requirements.
- Integrate securely with banking APIs, payment processors, and financial data sources.
- Implement observability, monitoring, and error tracking (Grafana, Prometheus, or similar).
- Establish coding standards, best practices, and documentation as the team grows.
- Contribute to long-term technical vision (frameworks, cloud providers, architecture patterns).
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR — REQUIRED
- 4+ years of full-stack development with strong MERN proficiency.
- Deep knowledge of Node.Js, Express.Js, and REST/GraphQL API design.
- Frontend experience with React Native (Hooks, Context API, or Redux).
- Strong JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML5, and modern CSS frameworks.
- Experience managing and optimizing MongoDB or similar NoSQL databases.
- Familiarity with DevOps workflows — CI/CD, Docker, and a major cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure).
- Knowledge of authentication and authorization (JWT, OAuth2, SSO).
- Product-minded builder who ships usable, reliable software quickly.
PREFERRED
- FinTech/payments experience or financial data integrations.
- Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi) and container orchestration experience.
- Knowledge of security/compliance (SOC 2, PCI DSS).
- Hands-on production monitoring/analytics setup.
- Early-stage startup experience and comfort wearing multiple hats.
WHY JOIN
- High ownership and autonomy from day one.
- Direct impact on product, architecture, and engineering culture.
- Opportunity to grow into a technical leadership role.
