Senior Backend Engineer- Golang | Trading Platform

We’re looking for a hands-on Lead Backend Engineer to build the technical foundation of a trading platform as it moves from MVP to full-scale launch.

This is a high-ownership, zero-to-one role for someone who enjoys designing systems from scratch, leading a small engineering team, and shipping production code. You’ll help shape the architecture, engineering practices, and backend required to support real-time market data—and, eventually, live trade execution.

What You’ll Own

- Design and build the backend architecture powering our trading platform.
- Architect scalable microservices, APIs, and database models for real-time market data and future trade execution.
- Develop integrations that support seamless experiences across web and mobile applications.
- Own projects end to end—from understanding the problem and defining the approach to deployment, monitoring, and iteration.
- Establish technical standards, conduct code reviews, and guide a small engineering team while remaining hands-on.
- Introduce tools, patterns, and engineering practices that improve scalability, reliability, and development velocity.
- Build toward execution readiness so the platform can securely and reliably support live trading once regulatory approvals are in place.





What We’re Looking For

- Experience designing and launching backend systems from the ground up, ideally in an early-stage or high-growth startup.
- Previous responsibility as a technical lead or engineering team lead.
- Robust hands-on experience across backend engineering, including APIs, data pipelines, integrations, infrastructure, and databases.
- Production experience with Golang, or strong backend fundamentals and a demonstrated ability to learn new languages quickly.
- Experience building scalable, reliable, and secure distributed systems.
- A track record of owning systems after launch, including observability, performance, reliability, and incident response.
- Experience in a product-led engineering environment where teams own business and user outcomes.
- A proactive, adaptable mindset suited to rapidly changing priorities and zero-to-one execution.

Nice to Have

- Experience in trading, broking, fintech, or capital-markets products.
- Familiarity with market-data systems, order-management workflows, low-latency architecture, or financial data models.
- Understanding of the security, compliance, and regulatory requirements involved in building financial platforms.
- Experience preparing systems for high-volume, business-critical transaction processing.
