As a Senior Full-Stack Engineer at The Vault, you will own product features end-to-end, from clean domain modeling in Go or Node.js to a polished React UI. You join a Swiss and EU-regulated fintech group delivering institutional-grade digital asset infrastructure and services, combining a software vendor and a licensed Crypto Asset Service Provider (CASP) with deep domain expertise in transparency, security, and regulatory compliance.
What you'll do
- Build end-to-end product features across Go and Node.js/Express backends and React frontends
- Use AI-assisted development tools such as Cursor, Copilot, or ClaudeCode daily to accelerate delivery, refactoring, and test generation while verifying outputs and keeping code clean
- Design backend services using DDD patterns: bounded contexts, aggregates, domain events, clean layering, and pragmatic architecture
- Implement data models and migrations across PostgreSQL and MongoDB using GORM, Mongoose, or raw queries as 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: 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: RBAC, least-privilege access, safe secrets handling, and audit trails
- Own quality through unit tests, 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), plus solid React experience
- Strong backend fundamentals: concurrency, APIs, reliability, and debugging
- Hands-on experience with DDD: you can model domains and keep boundaries clean
- Strong database skills across PostgreSQL and MongoDB: schema and 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: Go testing, Jest/Vitest, integration tests, and 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: outbox pattern, retries, idempotency, and background jobs
- Experience with RBAC and policy engines, audit logs, and fintech or compliance workflows
- Docker and Kubernetes familiarity
- CI/CD ownership with GitHub Actions or GitLab CI, including release workflows
- Experience with high-security systems such as custody, payments, or identity
What we offer
- Competitive salary
- Annual performance bonus
- Fully remote position: work from anywhere in the world, with the team operating on CET
- Paid time off including vacation, sick leave, and public holidays
- Multiple projects within the company: you can discuss different projects during the interview and choose the one that is the best fit for you
