  • Support production operations, incident investigation, and root-cause analysis.
  • Maintain architecture documentation, ADRs, API contracts, and operational runbooks.

  • Experience building high-throughput, fault-tolerant backend services.
  • Hands-on experience with AWS or equivalent cloud platforms.
  • Experience producing technical documentation, including system design documents, ADRs, API specifications, and operational guides.
  • Strong ownership and execution mindset.
  • Strong problem-solving skills in complex integration and distributed system environments.
  • Ability to communicate technical decisions to both engineering and business stakeholders.
  • Strong written and verbal English communication skills.
  • Practical experience using AI-assisted engineering tools.

Nice-to-have

  • Experience in fintech, digital banking, lending, payments, or merchant platforms.
  • Experience with Merchant Cash Advance, working-capital lending, or embedded finance products.
  • Experience building multi-country or configurable platform products.
  • Familiarity with frontend technologies and API-driven product delivery.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
