Their ambition is to disrupt a bloated, legacy-dominated industry through a genuinely exceptional user experience. This is a business that owns its entire tech stack end-to-end. No white-label shortcuts. That means the engineering team has the freedom to build in a customer and product driven environment and to build it right. This role sits within a team that drives their core revenue. This hire will be the technical anchor on the backend side of the squad. You'll own the APIs that power the customer-facing product, be involved from problem statement through to release, and play a direct role in shaping how the domain evolves as they migrate from a Python monolith into isolated, resilient services. There's an exciting launch on the horizon in a brand new region. The systems challenge is real: high-throughput event-driven architecture on AWS, Kafka, PostgreSQL, Redis, averaging 6+ backend releases per week with a future target of 20+ - fast but safe is their culture. They're also experimenting with Rust for performance-critical workloads and are early-but-genuine adopters of AI tooling across the engineering org. Small squads, high trust, high ownership. This isn't a place for engineers who want to be handed a ticket and told what to build.
