Role
Who you are
- 4+ years of professional experience working as a Software Engineer
- Prior experience with Go
- Experience with PostgreSQL or other relational databases
- Experience in using and creating RESTful APIs, which will be consumed by our frontend engineers and our customers
What the job involves
- As a backend software engineer, you’ll join our Customer Identity, Risk, and Compliance team, continuing to reduce risk for our customers and ensure regulatory compliance. Your work will span critical areas of the platform, including transaction monitoring (fraud and anti-money laundering), Know Your Customer (KYC), Know Your Business (KYB), suspicious activity reporting (SAR), account verification, as well as continuing to expand the scope of customer data within the platform
- Our ideal candidate is curious and enthusiastic about those areas as well as the broader FinTech ecosystem (but may not have worked in it before!) and takes a product and customer-minded approach to solving engineering challenges, particularly when working with those outside of product and engineering
- Develop application services in Go (Golang)
- Work with the product team and other engineers to understand financial services challenges and develop solutions to address them
- Be a leader on the ground and in the code
- Keep learning, keep growing and help your team do the same
- Determine process improvements, best practices, and develop new processes
- Envision cleaner, simpler ways to solve problems
- Work in close partnership with cross-functional teams
- Mentor Software Engineers to allow for skill/knowledge development through advice, coaching, and training opportunities
Our take
Synctera is a Banking-as-a-Service platform that supplies users with the capabilities to build and launch successful FinTech apps or embedded banking products. By fast-tracking the work involved in finding a banking partner, and in discovering the right best-in-class tech, the platform frees businesses up to instead focus on their core operations.
Through the Synctera platform, businesses can build bank account and card programs, as well as incorporate services such as money movement and lending. Alongside this, the company also provides support and resources surrounding compliance and post-launch management, making it as simple as possible for clients to tap into the growing and fertile fintech market, and do it smartly.
The company faces extensive competition in a global market worth billions, but in helping to oil the wheels of collaboration and Fintech market access, it creates value for businesses across the board and stands well to reap the rewards. Recent funding is cited to fuel geographical expansion as well as grow its operations in Canada as it moves to add support for new credit, lending, and other banking use cases.
