Along with back-end creation skills, we are looking for an engineer that can take on complex architectural and technical problems, ensuring the highest level of security, scalability, and fault tolerance. We pride ourselves on team members with a strong sense of ownership and continual delivery.

The Role

  • Previously worked with trading, banking, or payment processing APIs

What You'll Do

  • Take a leading role in building and maintaining our backend
  • Provide detailed documentation on services to other developers
  • Shape our technical culture and the future of the team
  • Learn new things, work hard, and grow as an engineer
Echofi Values

  2. We don't tolerate dishonesty or politics from any team member. You'll find a team that communicates openly and values efficiency above all else.
  3. At Echofi, you'll work with some of the most brilliant minds of our generation, people that will inspire you from first conversation and will motivate you to succeed long term.
Joining Echofi Means:
  • Making an impact: from day 1 you'll contribute to creating the first version of Echofi users see
  • Getting competitive salaries, benefits, and stock options
  • Joining a family: our team is super tight knit - our frequent lunch excursions, offsites, office furniture, and slack banter speak for themselves.
