Backend Software Engineer

As a Backend Software Engineer, you'll build and own reliable backend services for one of the world's most established digital asset platforms, serving tens of millions of users. Your work sits alongside Mandarin-speaking product and engineering teams, translating their requirements into clear technical designs and high-quality code that handles high-volume, latency-sensitive traffic across global markets. In 18 months, you'll own a meaningful part of the backend, run it under real production load, and become the person other teams bring their hardest design questions to.

What you'll do

• Design, build and ship backend services that handle high-volume, latency-sensitive traffic
• Own your services in production, from monitoring and incident response to the fixes that stop repeats
• Turn requirements from Mandarin-speaking product and engineering teams into clear technical designs, and document them in English for the wider team
• Raise the bar on code review, testing and documentation across the team
• Improve the performance and reliability of existing services, with results you can measure

What you bring

• Have built and run backend services in production at scale, from design through on-call
• Write clean, tested code and hold others' code to the same standard
• Are fluent in both spoken and written Mandarin and English, since you'll work daily in both
• Turn an ambiguous requirement into a working design without waiting to be told how

Nice to have

• Experience working on payments, trading or other financial systems
• Experience working in remote-first teams across time zones
