Green is building a global consumer neobank. We're merging international banking and payments into a single product. Our mission is to enable all of our customers around the world to spend, save and earn in USD. We'll be starting the US and select international markets with ambitions to scale far beyond.

Green is built by a small group of highly experienced operators and engineers. We're a small, senior-only team, with no layers, politics, or slow decisions. We've built, founded, and owned services used by hundreds of millions of people and generating billions in revenue. Green is the next step and mass distribution is readily available via our day-one partners. Every person on the team ships product and shapes the direction of the company.

The Role

We're seeking a Senior Backend Engineer to lead our core product development. Our backend serves a REST API that powers our iOS, Android, and Web frontends. You will integrate with cryptocurrency wallet and banking service providers, among other services for auth, ledger, payment rails, etc.

This is a financial services application with significant complexity handling real money at scale, internationally.

Our backend is a Python (FastAPI) monolith supported by Postgres and Redis on AWS. We are open to Rust and/or Go for any services that need to be broken out for performance.

This is a critically important role on our team. You’ll be working directly with the technical founders to set standards and build a highly performant, reliable, and secure app from the ground up. This role may evolve into a backend or general engineering lead as we scale.

Requirements

• 5+ years building and shipping web applications in Python, Go, or Rust
  
• Experience generally across the backend: working with Postgres, Redis, AWS, etc.

Bonuses

You might be an especially good fit if you have:

• Experience in financial technology
  
• Full-stack engineering skillset and ability to flex across other parts of the stack

What We Offer

• $200K-$400K cash compensation
• Day 1 impact on partner products used by millions globally
  
• Shape technical vision and architecture as we scale
  
• Own major parts of the product and infrastructure
• Ship fast and avoid corporate overhead
