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 environment. 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.
