Experience

Role Overview

Key Responsibilities

• *Full-Stack Delivery*
• Design, build, and maintain end-to-end features across frontend, backend services, APIs, and databases.
• Develop backend services primarily using PHP/Laravel and Node.js (exposure to Python/FastAPI is a plus).
• Build maintainable, responsive UIs using a modern JavaScript framework such as Vue.js.
• Own features through design, development, testing, deployment, and iteration.

*API, Backend & Integrations*

• Design and implement REST APIs with proper domain modelling, validation, versioning, and error handling.
• Apply best practices for authentication and authorization (e.g. JWT), idempotency, and backward compatibility.
• Integrate complex third-party systems — payment gateways, KYC/e-Sign, banking rails (e.g. NACH), and platform APIs.
• Identify and address performance, scalability, and reliability concerns early.
• *Data & Persistence*
• Design and work with relational data models using MySQL and PostgreSQL.
• Write efficient queries and manage schema evolution safely.
• Ensure data accuracy, integrity, and traceability appropriate for financial systems.
• *Cloud & DevOps*
• Build and deploy cloud-native services on AWS (e.g. S3, ECS, Cognito).
• Work with containerised workflows and CI/CD tooling (Docker, Jenkins, Git/Bitbucket).

*Gen-AI & Engineering Productivity*

• Use AI-assisted tools and agents for coding, code review, commits, and full git-flow automation.
• Validate AI outputs for correctness, security, and production readiness, with no sensitive data leakage.
• *Quality & Collaboration*
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to testing and production stability.
• Diagnose and resolve production issues with a focus on root-cause prevention.
• Collaborate closely with product, design, QA, and platform teams.

Required Skills

• Strong backend experience in PHP/Laravel and/or Node.js.
• Solid frontend experience with a modern JavaScript framework (Vue.js preferred).

• Experience integrating third-party systems and building secure, scalable services.
• Hands-on experience with cloud (AWS) and CI/CD tooling.
• Awareness of fintech security, reliability, and compliance expectations.

Preferred / Bonus

• Python/FastAPI exposure.
• Experience with automated testing frameworks.
• Experience mentoring junior engineers.
