• Maintain and optimize AWS infrastructure, managing permissions, costs, and security.
• Lead performance optimization efforts, ensuring scalability and reliability.
• Drive data and AI/ML initiatives, ensuring robust data models and analytics infrastructure.
• Write and review code in Python, Node.js, or TypeScript, ensuring high-quality and maintainable solutions.
• Conduct code reviews and pair programming for engineers to uphold best practices.
• Participate in critical debugging and troubleshooting sessions.
• Implement and enforce SDLC best practices, including branch management, and automation.
• Manage and optimize API integrations with third-party vendor services.
• Oversee daily stand-ups, sprint planning, and backlog grooming using Jira or similar tools.
• Allocate work efficiently, remove blockers, and ensure projects stay on track.
• Ensure compliance with fintech regulations (SOC 2, PCI DSS, PIPEDA) and implement security best practices.
• Work closely with product and business teams to translate business needs into technical solutions.
• Collaborate with external partners, including financial institutions and compliance teams.
• Monitor system health, lead incident response, and conduct post-mortems to drive reliability.

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years of experience in software engineering, with a strong background in backend development.
• Proficiency in writing, reviewing, and optimizing code in Python, Node.js, or TypeScript.
• Experience in cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred) and DevOps best practices.
• Hands-on experience with system architecture, database design, and API integrations.
• Proven track record of managing software development projects from concept to launch.
• Deep understanding of fintech security, compliance, and fraud prevention (a strong asset).
• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to balance technical debt, speed, and scalability.
• Knowledge of AI/ML concepts, data engineering, and analytics is a plus.
• Experience designing and optimizing high-performance, scalable applications.
• Familiarity with incident response, monitoring tools, and reliability engineering.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work collaboratively across teams.
• Passion for building impactful fintech solutions that improve financial access for newcomers.
