About the role
About the Role
This is a full-stack product engineering role at a Series A fintech startup building consumer financial tools — think cash advances, paycheck boosting, and credit building. You'll work closely with product, engineering, and business leaders to ship high-impact features that directly improve users' financial wellbeing.
What You'll Do
-
Build product features end-to-end, including domain models, business logic, and API integrations.
-
Drive incremental, data-driven releases toward ambitious product milestones.
-
Use SQL and analytics tools to evaluate product and system performance against robust data pipelines.
-
Test and debug complex state machines in an event-driven, pub/sub backend to ensure a seamless user experience.
-
Ship to production daily via a rapid CI/CD process, owning implementations end-to-end and responding to production incidents as needed.
What We're Looking For
-
3+ years building backend features end-to-end for production systems.
-
Proficiency designing and consuming RESTful APIs, including authentication/authorization patterns and rate limiting.
-
Experience with event-driven architectures and message queues (e.g., Kafka, Pub/Sub, or similar).
-
Experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL/MySQL), including data modeling and query optimization.
-
Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, version control, automated testing, and code review processes.
-
Experience debugging complex state machines in event-driven systems.
-
Prior experience building consumer-facing products (not B2B only).
-
Strong computer science fundamentals — algorithms, data structures, and system design.
-
Excellent cross-functional communication skills, including the ability to translate technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders.
-
Nice to have: Experience with Go (Golang) deployed on GCP; background at early-stage or high-growth startups.

On-site in San Francisco, CA. This role is not remote.
