Clera
Role Description
This is a senior backend engineering role at a bootstrapped fintech startup building credit-access products for underserved Americans. You'll own critical infrastructure end-to-end — from design through deployment — and play a meaningful part in shaping the technical direction of a small, high-ownership engineering team.
What You'll Do
- Own backend systems and infrastructure end-to-end, designing, deploying, and scaling them on AWS.
- Build performant, reliable APIs and services that power consumer financial products.
- Design and implement scalable architectures using Node.js and TypeScript.
- Make pragmatic tradeoffs between speed, reliability, scalability, and maintainability.
- Ship production code frequently while maintaining high quality standards.
- Establish technical patterns and best practices for the engineering team.
- Collaborate with product engineers and stakeholders to drive meaningful outcomes.
- Leverage AI-assisted development tools to accelerate delivery without compromising quality.
Qualifications
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience with a significant backend focus.
- Proven track record building and scaling production systems with Node.js and AWS.
- Proficiency with TypeScript for backend development.
- Experience designing and implementing scalable backend architectures and APIs.
- Strong sense of ownership and accountability; comfortable working end-to-end from design through deployment and monitoring.
- Ability to think critically about architectural decisions and their long-term implications.
- Comfort thriving in ambiguity and making sound technical decisions with incomplete information.
- High standards for code quality and system reliability.
- Enthusiasm for AI-assisted development as a force multiplier — and the judgment to use it well.
Requirements
- Nice to have: Experience in fintech, financial services, or credit systems.
- Familiarity with React/Next.js.
- Experience establishing engineering best practices within a team.
Benefits
- Salary range: $150,000 – $250,000 USD annually.
- Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
- Fully remote, United States only.
