You will design, build, and scale services that power our lending and credit platform - working closely with product, data science, and risk teams to ship features that directly impact millions of users. Our preferred stack is Node.js / TypeScript; prior hands-on experience with Python is a plus, but we care more about strong fundamentals and the ability to learn than a specific language.\n\nKey Responsibilities:\n\n- Design, develop, test, and maintain backend services and APIs that power Stashfin's lending and credit products.\n\n- Write clean, well-tested, maintainable code and participate actively in code reviews.\n\n- Work with relational and NoSQL databases to design efficient schemas and queries.\n\n- Build and consume RESTful APIs; contribute to API design decisions.\n\n- Collaborate with product managers, data scientists, and other engineers to translate requirements into technical solutions.\n\n- Debug and resolve production issues, and contribute to improving system reliability, performance, and observability.\n\n- Participate in architecture and design discussions, and contribute to technical documentation.\n\n- Write unit and integration tests, and contribute to CI/CD pipelines.\n\nRequired Skills & Qualifications:\n\n- 1-3 years of professional software engineering experience, ideally in backend development.\n\n- Strong fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, and object-oriented design.\n\n- Hands-on experience with Node.js and TypeScript (preferred); experience with any other modern backend language (Python, Java, Go, etc.) is also welcome.\n\n- Working knowledge of relational databases (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL) and exposure to NoSQL stores (e.g., MongoDB, Redis).\n\n- Understanding of RESTful API design and microservices concepts.\n\n- Familiarity with Git and collaborative development workflows.\n\n- Good understanding of software testing practices (unit/integration testing).\n\n- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work in a fast-paced, ownership-driven environment.\n\n- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).\n\nGood to Have:\n\n- Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).\n\n- Experience with message queues/event streaming (Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS).\n\n- Familiarity with fintech, lending, or payments domains.\n\n- Experience with CI/CD tools and observability stacks (logging, monitoring, alerting).\n\nWhat We Offer:\n\n- The opportunity to build systems that directly impact financial access for millions of users.\n\n- A collaborative, engineering-driven culture with fast decision-making and real ownership.\n\n- Competitive compensation and benefits.\n\n- Continuous learning and growth opportunities in a high-growth fintech environment.\nSkills\nBackend Architecture, Data Structure, Algorithm, OOAD, RDBMS, Node.js, Javascript","description_format":"text","description_chars":3572,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":1,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Continuous learning","Growth opportunities"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-25T22:00:00Z"}],"liveness":{"score":22,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":0.85,"p_active":0.565,"p_room":0.45,"age_days":23,"expected_fill_days":15,"reasons":["seen:23","win:tail","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-01T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/stashfin-software-engineer-backend-architecture","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/stashfin-software-engineer-backend-architecture.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-02T01:38:42Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2059,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":2941,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-03T00:00:00Z"}}}
