What you’ll do
• Design and maintain backend services for behavioral event data
• Build and support feature pipelines for credit risk models
• Develop secure, well-documented APIs
• Ensure data quality, traceability, and system consistency
• Collaborate with data science teams on model deployment and iteration
• Improve system performance, reliability, and scalability
What we’re looking for
• Strong backend experience (Python preferred; Go or Java welcome)
• Solid understanding of PostgreSQL and relational databases
• Experience with event-driven or asynchronous systems
• RESTful API design best practices
• Experience with AWS or GCP
• Strong attention to data accuracy, security, and reliability
Why join
You’ll be building meaningful technology that directly impacts access to credit, financial inclusion, and economic opportunity — in a collaborative, learning-focused environment.
