About the team

The Engineering team is responsible for building the features that propel the financial ecosystem into the future. We are a group of developers with diverse skills from backend services, front end, data and automation. Once you are part of the team, you will leverage cutting edge technology, collaborate with product and other technical groups to deliver on Flinks’ vision.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Drive development of scalable, high-performance backend services and APIs using .NET Core and C#.
  • Collaborate with the engineering team and leadership to align technical direction with product roadmaps and business goals.
  • Facilitate daily standups, sprint planning, and ensure team members are unblocked and aligned.
  • Contribute to system architecture and design discussions, with a focus on performance, maintainability, and scalability.
  • Write clean, efficient, and well-documented code, adhering to best practices and standards.
  • Partner with front-end developers to integrate user-facing elements with server-side logic (basic front-end experience is helpful, but deep expertise isn’t required).
  • Oversee code reviews, mentoring, and technical upskilling of team members.
  • Work within a modern DevOps setup, deploying services to GCP and supporting infrastructure as needed.
  • Troubleshoot and refactor legacy back-end codebases to improve performance, reliability and scalability.

Who You Are

  • 7+ years of experience in back-end development, with deep expertise in .NET Core and C#.
  • Prior experience leading or mentoring developers in a team setting.
  • Strong understanding of API development, systems design, and microservices architecture.
  • Comfortable deploying and maintaining services in cloud environments (GCP preferred, others acceptable).
  • Solid knowledge of relational and non-relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, Firestore, Cloud SQL).
  • Familiar with CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and modern DevOps practices.
  • Practical understanding of security and authentication (OAuth, JWT, etc.).
  • You write clean, maintainable code and take ownership from concept through delivery.
  • You communicate clearly in a remote environment, giving and receiving feedback well.
  • Passionate about building great software and helping your team do the same.

Nice to haves

  • Experience with Golang or a willingness to work with it in our grid-related systems.
