The backend handles complex allocation logic, real-time data flows, and strict regulatory requirements at a scale where every millisecond matters. As a staff engineer, you'll shape core architecture decisions and mentor others while staying close to the code.

  • 6+ years shipping production backend systems in Java and Spring Boot
  • Deep experience with PostgreSQL, data modeling, and performance tuning at scale
  • Proven ability to design cloud-native architectures on AWS using infrastructure-as-code with Terraform

  • Comfort navigating ambiguity in early-stage environments with high engineering standards
