About the Role:
Our client needs a backend engineer who can own outcomes, not just ship tickets. You will work on the core infrastructure powering onboarding and investment flows for a product serving a globally distributed, financially complex user base. This means building compliance-aware, API-driven systems where reliability and thoughtful architecture both matter.
Based in Bangalore, you will work full-time within a small, high-ownership engineering team.
The stack is Python and Django.
What the Role Entails:
- Design and build backend systems supporting onboarding and investment flows at scale
- Own API development and ensure reliable integrations with third-party financial services
- Treat compliance and regulatory requirements as first-class concerns in system design
- Contribute to infrastructure decisions affecting performance, reliability, and security
- Collaborate with product and frontend to ship end-to-end features
The Role Holder:
- You have 4 to 9 years of backend engineering experience, primarily in Python and Django
- You have worked in a start-up and know how to move fast without cutting corners
- You understand API-driven architecture and have built integration-heavy systems
- You are comfortable in compliance-heavy or regulated product contexts, with fintech experience as a strong plus
- You take ownership of outcomes and work well with limited hand-holding
