We are a high-performing team looking for an equally ambitious and driven teammate. The right candidate for this position is detail-oriented, deeply technical, and driven by the challenges of complex financial systems. You are eager to build secure, resilient, and highly scalable banking infrastructure. If you are looking to have a massive impact in a high-growth startup bridging the gap between traditional finance and digital assets, you will find this role uniquely challenging and rewarding., * 7+ years of software engineering experience, specifically focused on Payments, FinTech, or Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) infrastructure. * Deep proficiency with Golang in a production environment. * Extensive understanding of traditional fiat networks and clearing systems (e.g., ACH, RTP, FedNow, SEPA, Swift). * Strong expertise in SQL and complex database schema design for high-throughput, ACID-compliant financial ledgers. * Hands-on experience developing, integrating, and maintaining resilient connections with bank APIs and third-party payment processors. * A humble and scrappy get-it-done mindset; you're resourceful and in your element going from 0 to 1. * Excellent problem-solving skills; you can systematically troubleshoot complex distributed systems. * Comfort with ambiguity; the ability to independently lay out and test clear hypotheses, and solve architectural problems without well-defined direction. * Excellent verbal and written communication skills. Preferred Qualifications * Bachelors in Computer Science or equivalent experience. * Experience at a banking-as-a-service, brokerage-as-a-service, or payment-as-a-service business. * Proven track record of building treasury management or automated ledgering systems from scratch. * Experience with digital assets and crypto infrastructure. * Experience with distributed systems design and messaging frameworks (e.g., Kafka, ZeroMQ, or NATS) for data distribution and persistence., * Independence/Ownership - An ability to work autonomously. Join zerohash, pitch ideas, and shape the work you do. * Passion - We are innovating quickly and challenging the status quo. We want you to think big, be creative and make a difference every day. * Collaborative - A good attitude and respect for others. We're teammates, not co-workers. Everything we do is a shared success and equally a shared failure - we talk in terms of "we" not "me". * Initiative - An ability and passion for learning and asking questions. We will champion you, challenge you and push you to achieve your best - and we expect you to do the same. * Empathy - An ability to listen, respect, and understand your co-workers, customers, and everyone you interact with no matter how different they are to you. * Adaptability - An ability to respond quickly. We are in a fast-paced industry and so we expect you to be creative when solving a new problem and comfortable under pressure. * Transparency - We believe that transparency is critical to empowering everyone to make the best decisions, both the company to its people and vice versa. * Integrity - Integrity creates trust. As both an organization collectively and as individuals, it is our most valuable asset. ## Description * Fiat Payments: Building and maintaining robust fiat rails such as ACH, RTP, FedNow, RFP in the US, and SEPA in Europe. * Banking Infrastructure: Direct API integrations with top-tier banking partners. * Treasury Management: Developing sophisticated software to autonomously manage and reconcile balances across banking networks. * Operational Tooling: Creating internal tooling to streamline financial operations and scale our capacity to handle millions of transactions securely.
