Are you a passionate backend engineer ready to shape the future of Web3 finance? Join a pioneering team building public-facing APIs at enterprise scale, powering the next generation of digital asset and fintech innovations.


We're spearheading a new business division that empowers enterprises to leverage a battle-tested, high-performance platform with deep liquidity, seamless 'Anything-to-Anything' capabilities, and integrations across dozens of blockchain networks. If you thrive on designing scalable, secure APIs for millions of users in a fast-moving industry, this is your chance to own mission-critical work from day one.


What You'll Be Doing (Your Day-to-Day Impact)

  • Design and build robust, public-facing REST APIs engineered for massive scale and multiple enterprise partners
  • Make key architectural decisions while migrating from monolith to microservices
  • Develop high-quality, performant code (primarily Node.js/TypeScript, with some Go exposure)
  • Own the full lifecycle of API features — from design and implementation to deployment, monitoring, and on-call support
  • Create top-tier API documentation and interfaces that external developers love to use
  • Collaborate closely with product, architects, and stakeholders across planning, design, and delivery
  • Tackle real-world challenges: payment widget integrations, high-volume onboarding, SOC compliance, idempotency, versioning, and security at scale


Must-Have Skills & Experience

  • 5+ years building SaaS or API-driven applications (public APIs in fintech/banking a strong plus)
  • Expert-level Node.js (JavaScript/TypeScript) + hands-on PostgreSQL
  • Proven experience designing & delivering highly scalable REST APIs (GraphQL bonus)
  • Solid understanding of core API principles: security, versioning, idempotency, traffic monitoring, gateways & tools (Postman, etc.)
  • Hands-on with microservices, Docker, and Kubernetes
  • Strong relational database skills (PostgreSQL preferred) + familiarity with non-relational (Redis/Valkey)
  • Excellent English communication — you'll collaborate across teams and document for external audiences


Nice-to-Haves That Will Make You Stand Out

  • Experience with financial services APIs, payments, Web3/crypto/digital assets
  • Go language exposure
  • Familiarity with AWS, DataDog, Sentry, Cloudflare, PagerDuty
  • Open-source contributions, blog posts, talks, or certifications
