About the Team:

As a Software Engineer III, you will play a pivotal role in modernizing and scaling our infrastructure. This is a backend-heavy role where you can focus deeply on building robust, high-performance services.

  • Work closely with a collaborative engineering team, actively participating in code reviews, design discussions, and stepping up to support teammates when challenges arise.
  • Bring a meticulous eye to backend logic where accuracy is paramount, ensuring services are resilient, secure, and highly available.

Minimum Qualifications:

  • 2+ years of experience in backend software development, with strong proficiency in Java and Spring Boot or similar technologies (Note: This role does not require full-stack or frontend technologies).
  • Comprehensive computer science fundamentals in coding, object-oriented programming, data structures, and algorithms.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • 3+ years of experience in backend software development
  • Experience working within fintech, monetization, payment systems, or big data/syncing pipelines.
  • BS/MS/PhD in Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, related technical field or equivalent practical experience
  • Proven experience working on legacy code migration, refactoring, or modernizing distributed systems.

As part of our team you'll enjoy:

  • Competitive compensation
  • Exceptional benefits package
  • Flexible Vacation & Paid Time Off
  • Employer-matched 401(k) plan
