Full stack: React (web) + Node.js/PostgreSQL + AWS CDK + payments/crypto integrations

5+ years engineering experience with fintech or financial systems

We're looking for someone who can start within the next 1 month.

About Us
We are a Hong Kong-based fintech company building mission-critical financial infrastructure across payments, trading, custody, and digital assets. This is an opportunity to work on core platform systems that handle real-time transactions and serve institutional clients. We value engineers who take ownership, ship with urgency, and care deeply about building secure, reliable financial systems.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain full stack features across web and backend services (Node.js, PostgreSQL) powering the company's fintech platform
  • Integrate fiat banking rails and payment infrastructure including ACH, card issuing, ledger systems, and real-time payment networks (e.g., FPS, SWIFT)
  • Build and integrate crypto wallet infrastructure, including non-custodial wallet solutions, key management, and on-chain transaction handling
  • Implement authentication and security solutions including passkeys, device biometrics, OAuth, WebAuthn, and session management to protect client assets and data
  • Design and consume REST APIs; build robust, well-documented service interfaces for internal and external consumption
  • Participate in architecture decisions shaping system scalability, security, fault tolerance, and user trust across the platform
  • Define and deploy cloud infrastructure using AWS CDK, applying infrastructure-as-code practices for reproducible, auditable, and version-controlled deployments
  • Champion engineering best practices including code reviews, automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, observability, and comprehensive documentation
  • Mentor junior and mid-level engineers; contribute to technical hiring and building the engineering team culture

Requirements

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent professional work experience
  • Minimum 5 years of professional full stack engineering experience, with demonstrated work on financial or fintech systems
  • Strong proficiency in TypeScript, Node.js, and React; experience with PostgreSQL or equivalent relational databases
  • Experience designing and consuming REST APIs in production environments
  • Hands‑on experience with AWS and infrastructure-as-code tooling
  • Solid understanding of authentication models (OAuth, WebAuthn, session security) and security best practices for financial applications
  • Proven ability to work effectively with AI coding agents and to critically review the code and changes they produce
  • Self‑starter with strong ownership mentality who thrives in ambiguous, fast‑paced environments; comfortable proposing solutions and driving them to completion

Preferences
The following are not required, but candidates with any of these will stand out:

  • Familiarity with AWS CDK specifically
  • Experience with fintech or payments APIs (e.g., Stripe, Plaid, Marqeta, Column, Lithic, Unit) or banking integration (ACH, card networks, ledger systems)
  • Familiarity with crypto wallets, key management, smart contracts (Solana or EVM chains), or DEX aggregators
  • Fluency in native iOS (Swift) and/or native Android (Kotlin) development
  • Proficiency in Cantonese and/or Mandarin

Hiring Process
Candidates progress through the following stages and must pass each one to advance to the next:

Programming screening — an unproctored multiple-choice test covering core programming fundamentals

Technical interviews — two live interviews (no coding) of similar content, each conducted by a different interviewer, building on the candidate's screening answers and covering software engineering fundamentals and problem-solving
