Backend Engineer

About the Position

On behalf of FinTech Client #3, SD Solutions is looking for a talented Backend Engineer.

This position offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of technology, compliance, and data. As a Senior Backend Engineer, you will take ownership of ensuring the integrity of critical processes - such as Compliance Control, Due Diligence, Legal Automation, and more. You will be responsible for the full lifecycle of these systems, driving both architectural modernization and day-to-day stability. Your work will range from designing new automated capabilities to rigorously refactoring existing flows, deep-diving into complex logic to optimize alerts, and ensuring our production environment remains robust at scale. We are looking for someone who enjoys diversity, wants to understand the "business behind the code," and is eager to replace manual operations with sophisticated, event-driven automation.

SD Solutions is a staffing company operating globally. Contact us to get more details about the benefits we offer.
