About the Role We’re looking for a Backend / Cloud Engineer who’s fluent in TypeScript, Node.js, and AWS, and thrives in fast‑moving, product‑focused engineering teams. You’ll be responsible for building and operating the backbone of a next‑generation B2B fintech infrastructure - powering seamless stablecoin‑backed payments, credit, and card services for global businesses. This role combines hands‑on backend development with cloud engineering and DevOps ownership: shaping our APIs, managing infrastructure as code, optimizing CI/CD, and ensuring scalable, serverless system reliability. If you’re someone who loves owning systems end‑to‑end - from API design to deployment - and enjoys both writing clean code and creating resilient cloud environments, this is for you. What You’ll Do • Design, build, and maintain backend services in Node.js / TypeScript (NestJS or Elysia) for high‑performance APIs and async jobs. • Contribute to the infrastructure and deployment on AWS using Terraform, ensuring observability, reliability, and scalability. • Implement and optimize CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, automating build, test, and release workflows. • Leverage AWS cloud‑native services (Lambda, SQS, EventBridge, Aurora, S3, CloudWatch) for cost‑efficient, resilient architectures. • Manage data storage and synchronization, working with Postgres and Aurora. • Collaborate closely with product, design, and engineering leads to turn complex business logic into simple, stable, production systems. • Align code and infrastructure with modern software security, compliance, and modular deployment best practices. What We’re Looking For • 5+ years of professional backend engineering experience. • Deep expertise with Node.js and TypeScript, including RESTful API design and async job patterns. • Proven hands‑on experience with AWS cloud services (Lambda, SQS, EventBridge, Aurora, CloudWatch, Secrets Manager, etc.). • Solid grasp of infrastructure‑as‑code using Terraform. • Experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions. • Familiarity with serverless and event‑driven architectures. • Strong SQL fundamentals and experience with relational databases. • A pragmatic builder mindset & ability to work autonomously in a fully remote, async team. Nice to Have • Curiosity about fintech, DeFi, or the Web2 ↔ Web3 intersection. • Interest in AI and how it can enhance financial or operational products. • Experience in startup or lean engineering environments. Tech Stack • Backend: Serverless Node.js (NestJS / Elysia), TypeScript • Async Jobs: AWS Lambda, SQS, EventBridge • Database: Postgres (Aurora) • Infrastructure: AWS fully managed via Terraform • CI/CD: GitHub Actions + automated testing and deployment workflows • Tooling: GitHub, Slack, Notion, Linear, Graphite Why Join Us • Full Ownership: You’ll define both infrastructure and product backend architecture from the ground up. • Cloud‑Native from Day One: Build a modern, serverless, event‑driven system rather than maintaining legacy tech. • Lean & Fast Team: No bureaucracy - direct alignment with founding engineers and product. • High‑Impact Engineering: Your work directly powers global B2B payments and credit infrastructure. • Fully Remote: Work flexibly from anywhere across Europe or Asia time zones. • Cross‑Domain Opportunity: Operate at the intersection of fintech, cloud engineering, and Web3 innovation.
