Job Title: Software Development Engineer (SDE 2)

We are looking for a proactive and hands-on Software Development Engineer (SDE-2)

to join our team. You’ll be responsible for building, maintaining, and scaling robust data

pipelines, enabling analytics and decision-making across the organization. You will also be

the go-to person for enabling Metabase dashboards and visualizations across teams, while

owning the tech roadmap for our data infrastructure.

This is a high-ownership, IC role — ideal for someone with a strong technical

foundation in data engineering and a bias for action in startup environments.

Key Responsibilities

- Design, build, and maintain scalable backend services using Java (Spring Boot), with

a strong focus on reliability, performance, and clean APIs.

- Own end-to-end development of features—from technical design and implementation

to testing, deployment, and production support.

- Contribute to system design discussions, design reviews, and incremental

architecture improvements.

- Integrate backend services with databases, external APIs, payment systems, and

third-party platforms in a secure and resilient manner.

- Apply automation and tooling to improve developer productivity, operational

efficiency, and system observability.

- Ensure services meet fintech-grade standards for security, data protection, and

regulatory compliance.

- Debug and resolve production issues, perform root-cause analysis, and implement





long-term fixes.

- Work closely with product managers, frontend engineers, and QA to deliver high

quality features in a fast-paced startup setting.

Requirements:

- 3–6 years of strong hands-on experience building backend systems using Java

(Spring Boot) in production environments.

- Solid understanding of RESTful APIs, database design (SQL/NoSQL), and backend

integration patterns.

- Experience working in cloud-native environments (AWS or GCP), with hands-on

exposure to Docker;

- Working knowledge of security best practices (authentication, authorization, data

protection) in production systems.

- Exposure to fintech, payments, lending, or other transaction-heavy systems is a

strong plus.

- Ability to take ownership of modules/features and deliver them independently with

high quality.

- Comfortable working in an ambiguous startup environment with evolving

requirements and tight timelines.

- Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and a collaborative working style.

You’ll Fit Right in If You

- Love taking ownership of messy data problems and turning them into scalable

solutions.

- Are excited about enabling AI/ML projects through clean, structured data.
- Enjoy working in a fast-paced startup environment with lots of cross-functional

collaboration.

- Are self-driven, detail-oriented, and curious about data beyond the ETL layer.
