You’ll lead engineers, make critical architecture decisions, and ensure our platform can handle complexity, scale, and speed - all at once.\nThe Hats You Will Wear\nArchitect and build distributed, scalable systems from scratch\nLead complex projects across services, teams, and dependencies\nDrive design reviews, code reviews, and system discussions\nMentor engineers and raise the overall technical bar of the team\nWork closely with product to break down ambiguous problems into scalable solutions\nOptimize systems for performance, latency, and reliability\nOwn production systems - monitoring, debugging, and incident resolution\nInfluence long-term tech stack and architecture decisions\nBuild for scale: millions of transactions, real-time processing, zero downtime expectations\nThe Perfect Fit\n8 - 10 years of backend engineering experience in product companies\nStrong hands-on expertise in Java\nProven experience designing distributed systems & microservices architectures\nStrong understanding of APIs, system design, data modeling, and concurrency\nExperience leading engineers or owning large technical charters\nAbility to operate in ambiguity and high ownership environments\nStrong problem-solving mindset with a bias for action\nYour Edge Over The Rest\nPrior exposure of working in high-scale fintech / payments / card ecosystems, such as - issuer / credit / card stack players, payments infrastructure, payment platforms, lending tech, etc.\nThe Problem We’re Solving\nFinancial institutions today are held back by legacy systems that are slow, rigid, and expensive to scale. Launching or evolving credit, lending, and UPI products often takes months, requires heavy engineering effort, and limits the ability to create personalized customer experiences.\nAt the same time, customer expectations have changed - speed, flexibility, and tailored financial products are no longer optional. Banks and fintechs need infrastructure that allows them to innovate quickly, adapt continuously, and scale without friction.\nThis is where we come in.\nAt Vegapay, we are building modern, configurable fintech infrastructure that enables banks, NBFCs, and enterprises to design, launch, and manage credit and payment programs with ease. Our platform brings together flexibility, speed, and control - helping our partners unlock new growth opportunities and deliver personalized banking experiences at scale.\nThe Opportunity Ahead\nHigh ownership: You build it, you own it\nReal scale: Systems that handle real money, real users, real complexity\nStrong engineering culture: Clean code, solid architecture, fast execution\nZero fluff: Minimal bureaucracy, maximum impact\nGrowth: Shape systems, teams, and engineering direction","description_format":"text","description_chars":3008,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Growth opportunities"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Financial Services"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-30T23:52:04Z"}],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":14,"reasons":["conf:5","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-01T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/vegapay-lead-backend-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/vegapay-lead-backend-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-01T21:15:19Z","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":3874,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":1126,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-02T00:00:00Z"}}}
