AI Summary

The role involves designing, building, and scaling backend services crucial for powering payments and real-time transaction processing within the company's financial infrastructure. Responsibilities include owning features end-to-end, integrating with external partners, and mentoring other engineers.

What You'll Do

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help build the financial infrastructure behind Fold. You'll design, build, and scale backend services that power payments and real-time transaction processing. This is a chance to have an outsized impact at a company where your technical decisions shape the trajectory of the product.

Day to day, that means:

  • Designing and implementing scalable, reliable backend services that handle real-time transaction processing
  • Building and evolving event-driven systems for processing financial events
  • Integrating with external partners — card processors, banking APIs, payment networks
  • Owning features end-to-end, from technical design through deployment and monitoring
  • Collaborating closely with product, design, and fellow engineers to ship quickly and iteratively
  • Mentoring other engineers through code reviews, pairing, and architectural guidance
  • Improving engineering practices, tooling, and infrastructure as the team grows

What We're Looking For

  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience with strong proficiency in Java or a similar statically-typed language (Kotlin, Scala, C#)
  • Experience building and operating production microservices and distributed systems
  • Experience with messaging or event streaming systems (Kafka, Pulsar, or similar)
  • Solid understanding of relational databases with an intuition for data modeling and transactional consistency
  • Comfort working with cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and containerization
  • Experience scaling systems in a fast-paced, growth-stage environment
  • Strong communication skills and a collaborative, low-ego mindset

What Will Make You Stand Out

  • Experience with financial systems, payment processing, or ledger/accounting domains
  • Familiarity with event-driven architectures, CQRS, and event sourcing patterns
  • Experience with Micronaut, Quarkus, or similar modern Java frameworks
  • Passion for Bitcoin
  • You're already a Fold user

Candidates must have permanent legal authorization to work in the United States. Visa sponsorship is not available for this position.
