  • Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code with clear documentation
  • Participate in code reviews, mentor other engineers, and contribute to technical standards

  • Strong experience designing and implementing API services and system integrations
  • Familiarity with fintech platforms like Mendel, including integration flows, data mapping, and security protocols
  • Deep understanding of ERP and CRM integration requirements
  • Hands-on experience with secure API development using TLS, OAuth2, and enterprise-grade encryption methods
  • Firm grasp of backend design principles, modularity, and maintainability
  • Passion for solving complex problems and building systems that scale

Nice to Have

  • Familiarity with AWS components (e.g., ECS, API Gateway, SQS, RDS, CloudWatch)
  • Exposure to containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
  • Understanding of enterprise data pipelines, messaging systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ)
  • CI/CD tooling and DevOps best practices
