Role
Who you are
- Opinionated on software engineering best practices, at a code and developer productivity level
- Product-minded and passionate about delivering delightful experiences to customers
- Experienced building backend systems that grow in complexity over time
- A critical thinker capable of making tradeoffs in a fast paced environment
- A great communicator and collaborator, capable of creating and running cross-functional processes
- 4+ years of experience in software engineering
- 2+ years of experience using Python and Postgres
- Bonus: Experience with GraphQL, DevOps (Terraform, AWS, Kubernetes), and pub/sub models (Kafka)
What the job involves
- As a backend engineer, you’ll be responsible for extending our systems to support additional banking features, increases in usage volume, and the needs of our non-technical company functions
- You’ll maintain our core offering — a deposit account and debit card powered through our Banking as a Service partner, while designing our architecture to bundle additional financial services into a personalized product experience
- We’ve adopted a lightweight microservice infrastructure that allows us to move quickly, but that can flex on robustness to ensure scalability as our engineering team grows
- Collaborate with our product, design, and front end functions to build new financial offerings that advance the company mission
- Work with back end peers to establish new processes, software patterns, and tools that expedite our development process
- Maintain a testing and observability stack that keeps our system stable and proactively alerts us of internal or third party users
- Work with leadership to plan our engineering execution across different time horizons
Our take
In the US, it is difficult for immigrants to access financial services or build financial stability for themselves and their families. Barriers such as language, lack of documentation and the cost of services contribute to a structural opportunity gap. This is what Comun hopes to combat.
Acting as a financial ally for its users, Comun enables Latino immigrants in the US to open a checking account using any valid ID from their home country. Having this account enables people to deposit cash, send money home securely, access their paycheck early and talk to support in their own language.
All these features combine to make Comun the perfect place for people to gain control and peace of mind over their finances. This valuable idea has gained the interest of investors, who supplied funds that the company will use to build a financial hub with expanded solutions and resources.
