Back-end Developer

Join our team of five to develop an API-based product that allows Fintechs and Neobanks to quickly add a remittance feature for their end-users. With our API, global Fintechs can enable their users to open US self-custody bank accounts and Solana wallets, perform cash-ins via card, wire/ACH, and cash, and execute payouts in over 15 countries including Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Chile, El Salvador, and Venezuela.

Job functions

Join our API squad as one of the two dedicated engineers on the project. You'll primarily work on integrating APIs within our AWS-based API gateway. Your role will involve deploying key features such as integrating payment APIs with our WhatsApp front-end, enabling card payments through payment links, and facilitating cash payments. You'll be integrating partner APIs into our ecosystem and making them accessible to external clients through our WhatsApp-based front-end and fintech platforms.

Qualifications and requirements

You should have at least 2 years of experience in API development, with proficiency in Python, Java, and JavaScript. We are looking for someone experienced in developing cloud-based services, especially on AWS, including Lambdas, PostgreSQL DB, and API Gateway. Some DevOps experience is also necessary to manage deployments to production environments.
