Job Description

Join a fast-growing Singapore-based fintech redefining how businesses embed financial services — from accounts and cards to remittance and payments — directly into their ecosystems. Their engineering team builds the invisible rails that make modern embedded finance possible across APAC.

The stack is cloud-native. The culture is engineering-driven. And the impact is real.

What's on offer

  • Fully remote
  • Full SHUI coverage
  • Salary open for the right candidate — this role isn't capped
  • International, collaborative engineering culture with real architecture ownership
  • Cross-regional impact across APAC markets

What you'll do

  • Architect and scale distributed backend systems in Golang — microservices, event-driven pipelines, and transaction processing at high throughput
  • Own core fintech infrastructure: payment orchestration, ledger engines, remittance, and reconciliation services
  • Drive backend architecture decisions across teams and define standards that raise the engineering bar
  • Lead initiatives in scalability, fault tolerance, observability, and reliability
  • Mentor senior engineers and contribute meaningfully to technical direction and roadmap
  • Translate compliance, risk, and product requirements into resilient, production-grade systems
  • Participate in architecture reviews, incident retrospectives, and long-term platform evolution

What we're looking for

Must-have:

  • 8-12 years of backend engineering experience, with at least 5 years in Golang experience in high-scale or distributed systems environments
  • Proven background designing microservices and event-driven architectures
  • Deep domain knowledge in fintech — payments, ledger, wallets, banking, or transaction systems
  • Solid command of scalability, concurrency, system design, and performance optimization
  • Hands-on experience with PostgreSQL/MySQL and cloud-native infrastructure
  • Familiarity with Kubernetes, observability tooling, and modern backend engineering practices
  • Clear communicator who works well across engineering, product, risk, and compliance

Nice-to-have:

  • Experience with payment orchestration or financial reconciliation systems
  • Exposure to PCI-DSS, regulatory compliance, or security-sensitive fintech environments
  • Track record of mentoring engineers or leading technical direction
  • Proficiency with Prometheus, Grafana, or OpenTelemetry / SRE practices
  • Familiarity with AI-assisted engineering or platform engineering initiatives
