About the role
You will be working on a fintech platform that includes card issuing infrastructure, transaction processing, webhook mechanisms, and integrations with external providers — payment gateways, banks, and KYC/AML services. The system operates under high load and requires high reliability and data consistency, including basic on-chain integrations.
Main tasks
- Development and scaling of backend services using Python and Django

- Experience integrating external APIs (REST, webhooks)
- Deep knowledge of PostgreSQL (indexes, transactions, locks, query optimization)
- Experience with Redis (caching, queues, rate limiting)
- Understanding of architectures (monolith vs microservices, event-driven systems)
- Experience designing systems, not just implementing them
- Ability to independently develop solutions
- Systems thinking that goes beyond individual features
- Responsibility for results, not just task completion
- Experience working with products involving real money and risks
- Ability to ask the right questions and critically evaluate requirements
- Skill in simplifying complex systems
Bonus points

- Experience integrating payment providers
- Basic understanding of Web3 (wallets, transactions, blockchain APIs)
- Experience with message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ)
- Experience with Docker / Kubernetes
- Experience with high-load systems
- Experience developing billing or ledger systems
- Understanding of anti-fraud systems and risk management
- Experience with event sourcing
- Participation in the development of platform solutions
Conditions
- Complex engineering challenges in fintech
- Influence on architectural decisions
- Minimum bureaucracy — maximum responsibility
- Working with real transactions and high loads
