You'll join a Swiss and EU-regulated fintech group building security-first, API-driven digital asset infrastructure for institutions. Your work spans custodial and non-custodial crypto operations, underpinned by proprietary technology and strong regulatory compliance.
What you'll do
- Build end-to-end product features across Go and Node.js/Express backends and React frontend

- Implement data models and migrations across PostgreSQL and MongoDB, using GORM, Mongoose, or raw queries where appropriate
- Build and maintain REST APIs, webhooks, and event-driven workflows in both Go and Node.js/Express
- Implement frontend flows in React with TypeScript, including dashboards, admin workflows, status lifecycles, and audit views
- Ensure correctness and observability through structured logging, metrics, tracing, and production-ready error handling
- Contribute to security fundamentals including RBAC, least-privilege access, safe secrets handling, and audit trails
- Own quality through unit and integration tests, contract tests, and CI pipelines
What you bring
- 7+ years building production systems with Go and/or the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js), with solid React experience
- Strong backend fundamentals in concurrency, APIs, reliability, and debugging
- Hands-on experience with DDD, able to model domains and keep boundaries clean
- Strong database skills across PostgreSQL and MongoDB: schema/collection design, indexing, query tuning, and migrations
- Experience with GORM and/or Mongoose or similar ORMs/ODMs, plus comfort dropping to raw SQL or aggregation pipelines when needed
- Frontend proficiency in React with TypeScript preferred, including state management and form-heavy admin UIs
- Good testing discipline with Go testing, Jest/Vitest, and integration tests, plus frontend testing basics
- Confident daily use of AI coding tools such as Cursor, Copilot, or similar, with disciplined verification and secure practices
Nice to have
- Event-driven patterns such as outbox, retries, idempotency, and background jobs
- Experience with RBAC/policy engines, audit logs, and fintech/compliance workflows
- Docker/Kubernetes familiarity
- CI/CD ownership with GitHub Actions or GitLab CI, plus release workflow experience
- Experience with high-security systems such as custody, payments, or identity
What we offer
- Competitive salary
