Backend Developer (Node.js, AI, Crypto, Blockchain)

We’re looking for an AI-forward Backend Developer to help build a platform focused on international payments, crypto infrastructure, and blockchain integrations.
The platform integrates external payment and financial service providers such as Bridge, works with crypto and stablecoin-related services, and supports on-chain interactions. The backend is primarily API-driven, connecting external systems, processing transactions and events, and storing application data in MongoDB.
We value engineers who are passionate about developer platforms, enjoy solving integration challenges, and use Claude and other AI-powered tools to accelerate development.

Responsibilities
Develop and maintain backend services using Node.js, TypeScript, and Express.js.
Design and implement REST APIs and integrations with third-party services.
Integrate payment infrastructure providers such as Bridge and similar fintech or crypto platforms.
Build backend workflows for international payments, stablecoins, and crypto-related operations.
Work with blockchain APIs, on-chain transactions, and transaction status monitoring.
Design and maintain MongoDB schemas, data models, and persistence logic.
Implement webhooks, background jobs, asynchronous workflows, and reliable error handling.
Ensure data consistency and reliability when processing payment and blockchain events.
Deploy, maintain, and monitor backend applications and services on AWS.
Apply security best practices when handling sensitive financial data and transaction workflows.
Use Claude and other AI-powered development tools in daily engineering tasks.
Collaborate with the team on architecture, implementation, and technical improvements.

Requirements
Strong experience with Node.js and TypeScript.
Practical experience building backend services with Express.js.
Experience with MongoDB and database design.
Proven experience integrating third-party APIs into production applications.
Good understanding of REST APIs, webhooks, authentication, and asynchronous processing.
Experience deploying and maintaining applications on AWS.
Understanding of crypto, blockchain fundamentals, and on-chain transactions.
Familiarity with financial transaction workflows, error handling, and data consistency.
Hands-on experience with Claude or similar AI coding tools.
Ability to work independently, troubleshoot complex integrations, and take ownership of backend features.

Nice to Have
Experience with fintech, international payments, or cross-border payment systems.
Previous experience integrating Bridge or similar payment and crypto infrastructure providers.
Knowledge of stablecoins, crypto wallets, blockchain APIs, and transaction signing.
Familiarity with Ethereum and EVM-compatible networks.
Experience with smart contracts, blockchain event indexing, or transaction monitoring.
Familiarity with AWS services, queues, background workers, and distributed systems.
Experience building developer platforms, public APIs, or SDKs.
Basic familiarity with React or Next.js to support full-stack collaboration when needed.

Who We’re Looking For
We’re looking for a practical, AI-first backend engineer who uses Claude to accelerate implementation, explore solutions, debug issues, and improve code quality without blindly relying on generated code.
You enjoy building backend systems that connect external APIs, process financial data, and interact with blockchain infrastructure. You understand the importance of security, reliability, and proper error handling when working with payment systems and on-chain transactions.

You’re comfortable working in a lean team, making technical decisions, and delivering straightforward solutions without unnecessary complexity. A passion for developer platforms and making API integrations easier for other developers is a strong advantage.

What We Offer
The opportunity to build a product at the intersection of international payments, crypto, and blockchain.
An AI-first development environment with tools such as Claude.
A lean team, direct communication, and technical ownership.
The opportunity to work on real-world payment integrations and crypto infrastructure.

If you enjoy backend engineering, API integrations, blockchain technology, and AI-assisted development, we’d love to hear from you.
