Backend Software Engineer building scalable fintech systems with Go, Kubernetes, Kafka, and AWS.
ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Backend Software Engineer with 8 years of experience building scalable distributed systems across fintech platforms, specializing in Go and Java (Spring Boot), with Kubernetes, Kafka, and AWS. I focus on high-performance payment and real-time systems that stay reliable under production load.
At Coinbase, I’ve led end-to-end backend development for Samsung Pay integrations, powering trading, payments, and fund transfers with high availability and strong observability using Docker and Datadog. I also spearheaded Coinbase One credit card backend services with Worldpay integration, improving transaction success rates and reducing latency through better monitoring and logging.
I’m energized by ownership and measurable impact—like driving an MCC migration that reduced transaction fees by 30% and increased subscription revenue by 15%, plus a large-scale migration of 250K Coinbase One users with minimal downtime. Across PayPal, American Express, and Ticketmaster, I’ve built secure tokenization services, streaming data pipelines with Kafka, and security-critical backend workflows, pairing engineering rigor with proactive incident response.
