Backend Engineer (Junior to Mid-Level)
What You'll Do
-
Build and ship backend services: Design, develop, test, and maintain Java-based microservices that run our payment platform. Contribute to features across the payment lifecycle, including acquiring, clearing, settlement, and ledger accounting.
-
Protect user funds: Help build and improve reconciliation jobs, exception-handling flows, and monitoring that keep every transaction accurate and every peso accounted for.
-
Integrate with partners: Work on integrations with banks, local payment methods, card networks, and international payment partners. Along the way you'll learn how multi-currency and FX flows work.
-
Use AI in your daily work: Use AI-assisted development tools (e.g., code assistants, AI-driven testing, and debugging) to work more productively. Help explore and prototype AI-powered features and internal tools.
-
Improve reliability and performance: Troubleshoot production issues, write clean and well-tested code, and help make our systems more available, scalable, and efficient.
-
Collaborate across teams and regions: Work closely with product, risk, finance, and compliance, as well as Mandarin-speaking engineering and business teams, to deliver secure and compliant solutions.
What We're Looking For
-
1–5 years of professional backend development experience. Strong fresh graduates with solid internship or project experience are welcome to apply.
-
Hands-on experience with Java (Spring Boot preferred). Experience in other backend languages is a plus if you're willing to work mainly in Java.
-
Familiarity with microservices architecture, RESTful APIs, and relational databases (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL).
-
A strong interest in AI, such as regularly using AI coding tools, experimenting with LLMs or AI APIs, or building AI-powered side projects.
-
Proficiency in Mandarin Chinese (spoken and written) is required. You'll work regularly with Mandarin-speaking teams and stakeholders. Business-level English is also required.
-
A good grasp of computer science fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, and basic distributed systems concepts.
-
Strong problem-solving skills, ownership, and eagerness to learn.
Nice To Have
-
Exposure to fintech, payments, banking, e-wallets, or crypto.
-
Experience with message queues (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ), caching (e.g., Redis), or containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
-
Understanding of transaction consistency, idempotency, or reconciliation concepts.
-
Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Alibaba Cloud).
