Golang & Java/Python Engineer | 4+ yrs | Bangalore

About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join our core engineering team and help build high-

throughput, low-latency services that power real-time trading at scale. What We’re Looking For

You are someone who has built backend systems in a regulated, high-stakes environment — ideally fintech, brokerage, payments, or banking. You think in terms of system reliability, data correctness, and operational

excellence. You take ownership of services end-to-end: from design and implementation through deployment, monitoring, and incident response. You communicate clearly, make pragmatic trade-offs, and hold yourself and

your peers to a high engineering bar. What You’ll Do

• Design, build, and own backend microservices for a real-time trading platform — from API contracts

through to production observability.

• Work with databases, caches, and event-driven architectures to ensure high availability and data

consistency across distributed systems.

• Build integrations with third-party financial services — clearing, settlement, identity verification, and

payment rails.

• Define and enforce engineering standards — code reviews, testing strategies, API design conventions, and incident response processes.
• Collaborate with product, design, and cross-functional teams to translate business requirements into

well-scoped technical deliverables.

• Participate in on-call rotations and own production reliability for the services you build.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a culture of technical excellence and continuous improvement. Must-Have
• 5+ years backend engineering experience with Golang and Java in production.
• Strong experience with PostgreSQL, Redis, and event-driven messaging (Kafka, NATS, or RabbitMQ).
• Experience building and maintaining REST/gRPC APIs at scale with proper error handling, rate limiting, and versioning.
• Understanding of financial systems — ledgers, reconciliation, order lifecycle, or payment processing.
• Experience with microservices architecture, API gateways, and service-to-service communication

patterns.

• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and cloud infrastructure (AWS or

GCP).

• Strong debugging and incident-response skills in distributed systems. Nice-to-Have
• Prior experience at a brokerage, wealth-tech, neo-bank, or payments company.
• Experience with clearing broker integrations or introducing broker models.
• Knowledge of compliance and regulatory requirements for cross-border financial products.
• Experience with search infrastructure (Typesense, Elasticsearch).
• Background in performance engineering — profiling, load testing, and latency optimization. Tech Stack
