The Senior Software Engineer will develop and manage backend systems for digital payments, focusing on microservices, API design, and integration with banking systems.
JD 1 — Senior Software Engineer (Backend/Java)
Senior Software Engineer — Fintech/Blockchain Infrastructure Remote (US) | Must have significant Pacific Time (PT) overlap
We're partnering with a publicly traded global fintech company that sits at the center of digital payments infrastructure. Their technology powers billions in transaction volume across 180+ countries, and they're scaling aggressively across multiple engineering teams. This is a backend-heavy role for engineers who want to build systems that genuinely move money at scale.
What you'll be doing
You'll own and extend microservices responsible for secure, reliable value transfer across blockchain and traditional banking protocols. You'll design APIs used by developers worldwide, integrate with major banks and financial platforms, and collaborate closely with product and engineering on architecture and system design. Multiple teams are hiring — liquidity, payments, developer tooling, stablecoin operations, and more.
What they're looking for
- 6+ years of professional software development in object-oriented languages; deep Java expertise is the primary requirement. Go is used but secondary. C#/.NET-centric backgrounds are not a fit.
- Experience leading small technical teams (2–4 engineers) on architecture and design decisions
- Solid background in payment systems — credit cards, bank transfers, payment rails
- Strong RESTful API design and development fundamentals
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and SQL schema design
- CS degree or equivalent
- Web3/blockchain exposure is a plus, not a requirement
- Must be US-based with meaningful Pacific Time availability — this team operates on PT and overlap is a real requirement, not a preference
Compensation $150.000 – $200,000 base + equity. Comp is flexible for the right person.
The base pay range for this role is $150,000 – $200,000 per year.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
