Remote Backend SWE

Employer.com
San Francisco, CA

Company Description

This is a contract position for one of our fintech clients. This person will be working within either the brokerage or crypto teams!

Job Description

We’re looking for a backend engineer who gets excited about building things that don’t exist yet.

This is not a role for someone who only maintains or “tunes” existing systems — we need someone who can take a blank slate and turn it into a production‑ready service.

You’ll be working on greenfield projects with a team that values speed, technical excellence, and ownership. This is a 6‑month contract role with potential for extension and/or conversion, but in those six months, you’ll make a tangible impact.

Important:

  • You must be based in the United States .

  • We can’t provide visa sponsorship for this role.

  • This is a contract position , fully remote within the US.

  • This contract would be a W-2 position, we cannot do a 1099 or C2C at this time

Qualifications

What you’ll do

  • Build backend services from scratch — from architecture to deployment.

  • Design RESTful APIs and highly concurrent systems that handle real‑world scale.

  • Solve complex engineering problems and make sound decisions about priorities.

  • Collaborate closely with other engineers to deliver fast, maintainable code.

  • Contribute to a culture of ownership: review code, share knowledge, and mentor where you can.

What makes someone a great fit

  • 3+ years of experience in backend development.

  • Proven track record of building greenfield systems (not just maintaining legacy code).

  • Proficiency in Golang or Python (both are great).

  • Experience with cloud‑native architectures (AWS, Kubernetes, Docker).

  • Strong grasp of REST API design , distributed systems, and concurrency.

Additional Information

All your information will be kept confidential according to EEO guidelines.
