About the company

Our client is a fast-growing financial technology company.

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Own the server-side engineering of a software platform, from core business logic and data pipelines to the APIs and live data feeds that users rely on.

What you'll do

- Build and maintain core transaction logic, ledger data ingestion pipelines, and external APIs and streaming services.

- Design data schemas, state handling, failure recovery and consistency across off-chain and on-chain components.

- Manage cloud infrastructure, messaging and data stores, including deployment automation, monitoring and on-call support.

- Work directly with founders to shape product decisions and technical priorities.

Requirements

What we're looking for

- 5 or more years of experience as a senior or staff-level engineer.

- Hands-on experience running distributed systems in production, including diagnosing and resolving root causes under pressure.

- Strong systems design skills for distributed architectures.

- Solid computer science foundation in architecture, databases and scaling.

- Strong written and spoken communication in English.

- Senior-level title, or a clear path to promotion for candidates at the lower end of the experience range.

Bonus points

- Prior experience as a founder.

- Proficiency in a performance-focused compiled language, with Rust being especially welcome.

- Experience with Redis, Kafka, Postgres or AWS.

- Background at a large technology company followed by startup experience.

- Prior work on financial trading infrastructure, such as order routing or price feed systems.
