Job description

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.
