We are looking for Staff Engineers who think deeply about systems, algorithms, scalability, and architecture,  engineers who enjoy solving complex problems and building platforms that operate at scale.

If you enjoy designing systems, understanding how things work under the hood, and building software that must perform reliably under heavy load, we would love to speak with you.

We are looking for Leaders/Engineers who can:

Frontend Engineering

You will design and develop full-stack systems powering financial platforms, working across frontend, backend, and distributed architecture.

  • Frontend Engineering
  • Build scalable frontend platforms using NestJS and ReactJS.
  • Design modern UI architectures with: Server-side rendering (SSR), Component-driven architecture, Performance optimization, & State management patterns
  • Develop reusable component systems and scalable frontend frameworks.

Backend Engineering

  • Build backend services using Node.js and NestJS.
  • Design and implement:
  • REST APIs
  • Microservices
  • Asynchronous workflows
  • High-performance data processing systems

Design infrastructure that supports resilient distributed systems.

Signals of Excellence

  • We are particularly interested in engineers who demonstrate one or more of the following:
  • Experience designing and operating event-driven distributed systems that process high-volume real-time data.
  • Deep understanding of algorithms, data structures, and time complexity, and the ability to apply these principles to build scalable systems.
  • Experience building full-stack platforms using NextJS/React and Node.js/NestJS that operate reliably in production environments.
  • Hands-on experience designing systems using message queues, streaming platforms, and asynchronous workflows such as Kafka, Azure Service Bus, or similar event-driven technologies.
  • Strong ability to reason about system trade-offs, including latency, throughput, reliability, and scalability.
  • Experience operating systems in cloud environments such as Microsoft Azure, including debugging production issues and improving system performance.
  • Demonstrated ability to design systems end-to-end rather than only implementing tickets, with strong ownership of architecture and production outcomes.
  • Experience mentoring engineers and contributing to engineering standards, architecture reviews, and technical decision-making.

    Technology Stack

  • React, TypeScript, JavaScript
  • TailwindCSS, HTML5, CSS3
  • Node.js, NestJS
  • REST APIs, Microservices
  • BullMQ
  • Microsoft Azure
