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
