Backend and Cloud Engineer

About Us

We are a fast-growing startup focused on building cutting-edge platforms in fintech and beyond. As a lean, agile team with a strong engineering culture, we’re driven by innovation, ownership, and constant learning. Our current projects span backend APIs, infrastructure automation, and AI-driven platforms. If you’re excited by elegant architecture, modern tooling, and being part of a team that values craft and experimentation — we’d love to talk.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Backend & Cloud Engineer who lives and breathes APIs, understands that infrastructure is code, and enjoys working across the stack where backend, DevOps, and cloud converge. You’ll help us design, build, and scale backend services, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure using modern tools and open-source technologies.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and build robust backend systems with an API-first mindset.
• Develop scalable and modular microservices, primarily in Go (Golang).
• Build and maintain infrastructure using Terraform and infrastructure-as-code principles.
• Implement and optimize CI/CD pipelines using tools like GitLab CI.
• Collaborate with the team to design architecture and improve performance and reliability.
• Deploy, monitor, and manage services on public cloud platforms (preferably AWS, but experience with GCP or Azure is also valued).
• Stay up to date with modern backend trends, cloud-native tools, and best practices.
• Contribute to discussions on systems architecture and software design.
• Participate in code reviews, write clean and well-documented code, and help maintain high code quality.
• Experiment with AI tools and integrations for both internal use and product features.

Skills & Experience

Must-Have:

• 1+ years of backend development experience with Go (Golang). Another backend language (e.g. Node.js, Python) exp will be ideal.
• Solid experience working with APIs and designing clean, scalable interfaces.
• Exposure to AWS (or other cloud platforms like GCP / Azure).
• Basic knowledge of CI/CD concepts and tooling (e.g., GitLab CI).
• Hands-on experience or strong interest in Terraform and infrastructure automation.
• Familiarity with Git workflows and version control (ideally GitLab).
• Some experience and usage of relational and NoSQL (e.g. Postgresql, MongoDB, ElasticDB, Cassandra)
• Strong fundamentals in clean code, modularity, naming conventions, and best practices.
• Self-motivated, curious, and comfortable working independently in a startup environment.
• Good communication skills and ability to manage your own tasks and priorities.

Bonus Points For:

• Contributions to open-source projects or personal GitHub portfolio.
• Exposure to AI technologies or integrations (e.g., OpenAI APIs, vector databases, etc.).
• Interest in systems design and scalable architecture patterns.
• Experience in containerization (Docker/podman) and container orchestration (Kubernetes).
• Familiarity with observability tooling (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK).

Why Join Us?

• Work on real, high-impact products from day one.
• Flexible working with a balance of structure and independence.
• Collaborative, ego-free environment that encourages experimentation.
• Dog-friendly home-office workspace with plans to scale to a dedicated office.
• Direct exposure to modern tech stacks and startup life.
• Opportunity to grow into a lead or architecture-focused role.
