Senior Software Engineer - Paasa

Paasa is building the first-of-its-kind global equities trading platform from India, for Indians across the globe. We’re backed by YC and top Silicon Valley angels.

Our founders previously led engineering at SoFi and INDmoney, and saw how broken global investing was for Indians - from opaque FX spreads to fragmented tax, remittance, and trading infrastructure. We’re building the system to fix that.

What you’ll build

  • You’ll own core product and infra end-to-end across:

  • Trading systems and order flows

  • Real-time market data and order-book visualizations

  • Portfolio, reporting, and tax tools

  • Ledger, reconciliation, and money movement systems

  • Scalable APIs across brokerage, banking, and clearing partners

  • First 90 days

  • In your first month, you’ll own a live integration with our US clearing partner and ship production features like real-time order-book visualization.

  • By 90 days, you should be owning critical parts of our trading engine, helping us scale toward $10M+ in daily transaction volume with low-latency, reliable infrastructure.

  • Stack

  • TypeScript, React Native, Node.js, Postgres, cloud infra.

  • You

  • 3-6 years of engineering experience

  • Strong product sense and ability to ship fast

  • Comfortable owning systems from architecture to production

  • Experience with fintech, trading, ledgers, payments, or real-time systems is a strong plus

  • Bonus: idempotent APIs, reconciliation systems, sub-second data streaming, broker integrations

  • Why Paasa

  • Small core team. High ownership. Real financial infrastructure. YC-backed. Huge market.

  • You’ll be building the rails for how Indians invest globally.
