Job Title: Software Development Engineer (SDE 2)
We are looking for a proactive and hands-on Software Development Engineer (SDE-2)
to join our team. You’ll be responsible for building, maintaining, and scaling robust data
pipelines, enabling analytics and decision-making across the organization. You will also be
the go-to person for enabling Metabase dashboards and visualizations across teams, while
owning the tech roadmap for our data infrastructure.
This is a high-ownership, IC role — ideal for someone with a strong technical
foundation in data engineering and a bias for action in startup environments.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain scalable backend services using Java (Spring Boot), with
a strong focus on reliability, performance, and clean APIs.
- Own end-to-end development of features—from technical design and implementation
to testing, deployment, and production support.
- Contribute to system design discussions, design reviews, and incremental
architecture improvements.
- Integrate backend services with databases, external APIs, payment systems, and
third-party platforms in a secure and resilient manner.
- Apply automation and tooling to improve developer productivity, operational
efficiency, and system observability.
- Ensure services meet fintech-grade standards for security, data protection, and
regulatory compliance.
- Debug and resolve production issues, perform root-cause analysis, and implement
long-term fixes.
- Work closely with product managers, frontend engineers, and QA to deliver high
quality features in a fast-paced startup environment.
Requirements:
- 3–6 years of strong hands-on experience building backend systems using Java
(Spring Boot) in production environments.
- Solid understanding of RESTful APIs, database design (SQL/NoSQL), and backend
integration patterns.
- Experience working in cloud-native environments (AWS or GCP), with hands-on
exposure to Docker;
- Working knowledge of security best practices (authentication, authorization, data
protection) in production systems.
- Exposure to fintech, payments, lending, or other transaction-heavy systems is a
strong plus.
- Ability to take ownership of modules/features and deliver them independently with
high quality.
- Comfortable working in an ambiguous startup environment with evolving
requirements and tight timelines.
- Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and a collaborative working style.
You’ll Fit Right in If You
- Love taking ownership of messy data problems and turning them into scalable
solutions.
- Are excited about enabling AI/ML projects through clean, structured data.
- Enjoy working in a fast-paced startup environment with lots of cross-functional
collaboration.
- Are self-driven, detail-oriented, and curious about data beyond the ETL layer.
