We offer the industry’s only platform that fuses customer identity and anti-fraud solutions – customer identity management, identity verification, and fraud prevention.
We sell to industries with large, consumer-facing businesses such as: banking, financial services, insurance, fintech, gaming, ecommerce/retail, telco / media, utilities, etc.
About the Role:
Transmit Security is a top player in its game and is heading for an exciting year. In this role, you will take an integral part in the creation of a new and innovative SaaS product.
We are building a brand-new team, from the ground up, around a core part of our identity platform. You will be one of the first engineers on it — which means you will shape the architecture, the standards and the way the team works, rather than inherit them.
If you are a talented Senior Backend Engineer that likes to solve complex problems and looking for your next challenge we want you to join our team!
What you’ll do:
- Join a brand-new team, built from the ground up, that owns its product end-to-end — you will have a direct and visible influence on architecture, technology choices, engineering standards and the way we work.
- Work both on delivering infrastructure and customer-facing features.
- Own features end-to-end: from design, through backend and UI, to production and the customers using them.
- Write modular, extendable, testable, efficient and secure code for the platform and microservices — in a functional, strongly-typed Scala codebase where correctness genuinely matters.
- Contribute also to the front-end side of the product (in React / TypeScript**)**.
- Design and build scalable systems: latency-sensitive, highly-available backend services that run in the critical path of some of the world’s largest banks and retailers — “slow” and “flaky” are not options.
- Grow with the team as its scope expands into data pipelines and large-scale data processing.
- Develop a platform that will affect hundreds of customers worldwide, and billions of end-users worldwide.
What you’ll need:
- At least 5+ years of proven experience developing production backend services at scale.
- Strong, proven architecture and design skills. Experience in building scalable architectures and passionate about finding simple solutions to complex problems.
- Deep, hands-on expertise in at least one modern statically-typed, high-level language — Scala, Kotlin, Java, C#, C++ or Go. Scala is a significant advantage.
