What you'll do:

As a full-stack developer with a strong backend focus in the Wallet & Disbursements team, you will design and build scalable APIs and backend services critical to Rapyd's digital wallet infrastructure.

• Support frontend development for tools or dashboards using React (as needed).
• Integrate with external banking and payment systems to support global operations.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver secure, performant solutions.
• Participate in architectural discussions, design reviews, and agile development processes.
• Monitor and troubleshoot production systems, ensuring uptime and reliability.

Requirements

What we're looking for:

We're seeking developers who are primarily backend-focused but comfortable contributing to frontend codebases, especially in React.

Must-haves:

• 3-5 years of experience in software engineering, with a strong emphasis on backend systems.
• Proficiency in Node.js and MySQL, including schema design and performance tuning.
• Strong understanding of distributed systems and RESTful API design.
• Experience in microservices architecture within high-throughput environments.
• Familiarity with frontend development and frameworks (React preferred).
• Solid foundation in backend architecture, particularly in fintech or transactional domains.

Nice-to-haves:

• Hands-on experience working with digital wallets, gateways, and financial systems.
• Experience with event-driven architectures (Kafka/AWS EventBridge).
• Exposure to cloud-native services (AWS), Docker, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Awareness of security, compliance, and reconciliation in financial platforms.
• Proficiency with React and its ecosystem is a plus, especially for full-stack contributions.
