Backend Engineer for Cloud-Native FinTech SaaS

What are we looking for?

We are looking to add you to our Engineering team at Valstro. We aim to create a manageable, scalable, and cost-efficient service that fully embraces modern software development tools and methods.

The ideal candidate for this role has experience building enterprise-level software using a major programming language, hands-on experience with microservices and containerized solutions, and a genuine passion for software development. We have several seats to fill and are recruiting both junior and senior engineers.

What will you be doing?

• Building applications/services from scratch
• Participating in architecture, technology selection and design
• Building, testing, deploying, and supporting the software
• Collaborating with other Valstro teams, including Product Management, and participating in definition and improvement of processes and tools
  
• Learning and Teaching – Mentoring and Coaching new hires, keeping up with the latest technologies and sharing your experiences

What you need to bring

A good portion of the following:

• A bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related engineering discipline
  
• Real world experience developing productions systems using a major language (C++, Java, .NET. TypeScript etc.) including use of popular frameworks/libraries
• Experience building multi-threaded/concurrent applications
• Experience working in a Linux environment (CentOS, RHEL, Ubuntu etc. - any flavor is ok)
  
• Hands on experience of a containerized environment using Docker, Kubernetes or similar.
  
• Practical use of NoSQL databases (Redis, Couchbase, Dynamo, Cassandra etc.)
• Experience working with messaging queues (Kafka, JMS, RabbitMQ, EventHub etc.)
• Some exposure to React, Angular and other UI technologies

What is the Environment like at Valstro?

Valstro was founded during the COVID-19 Pandemic and has been operating on a “remote-first” basis ever since. That said, as the world starts to return to normal, another of our core values is that there is just no substitute for in-person collaboration when it comes to certain kinds of knowledge work. We recently moved into a physical office in Midtown NYC that is a key part of our goal of moving from fully remote work to a hybrid arrangement.

Valstro offers an excellent benefits package with top-tier health insurance, 401k plans and highly competitive overall compensation.

Regardless of where you are sitting, Valstro is a wonderful place to work. Leadership brings a genuine wealth of experience and industry knowledge, and for a young company, we humbly believe that we have our product/market fit very carefully dialed in. As we move to execute and deliver the vision to clients, the Engineering team will need client-obsessed, delivery-focused high performers (with a healthy dose of humility, of course) that we can help grow into the FinTech leaders of the future. If this excites you, we would love to chat.
