Remote (US) | $180-250K base + equity
We're working with a profitable, fast-growing fintech startup transforming access to credit for consumers traditionally underserved by the financial system. This is a high-impact opportunity to join a lean engineering team where you'll own backend systems end-to-end and ship production code quickly.
This is an ideal role for engineers who enjoy startup environments, high ownership, and solving real product problems rather than working in large, specialized teams.
About the Role
You'll work on backend systems that power financial products used by thousands of customers. Engineers here operate with high autonomy, contribute to architecture decisions, and help scale systems as the company continues to grow.
The team values pragmatic engineers who can balance speed, scalability, and reliability while working in a fast-moving product environment.
