Role
Who you are
- We're looking for a backend expert who's ready to support frontend changes—someone who wants the autonomy to build complete features from UI to database
- You have deep backend expertise (Go, PostgreSQL, AWS) with a proven track record of building production systems that scale and perform under load
- You're excited about expanding your frontend skills—you understand HTML/CSS/JavaScript fundamentals, and you want to work with React and Angular
- You're comfortable with distributed systems concepts (event-driven architecture, caching, observability) and understand how to build resilient, monitored services
- You believe that understanding the full stack makes you a better developer—you want to see how users interact with your APIs, how your data flows, where performance bottlenecks occur, and how to optimize the complete user experience
- You're collaborative and growth-minded, actively seeking opportunities to work outside your comfort zone while helping others build their frontend skills
What the job involves
- We're looking for a Senior Software Developer to join our team for a role to work remotely based in Canada
- Reporting to the Engineering Manager, you're going to be a part of a team that's breaking down the barriers between frontend and backend development to ship features faster and with fewer handoffs
- You'll be designing and building scalable backend services in Go, working with PostgreSQL and DynamoDB, implementing event-driven architectures with RabbitMQ, and owning production systems end-to-end
- You'll be building exceptional user experiences across our mobile app (Angular/Ionic), web app (React), and admin tools
- You'll be owning the full implementation of features, from database schema design and API development to implementing the corresponding UI changes, eliminating handoffs and shipping complete solutions
- You'll be bringing new patterns and tools to your team across both frontend and backend, whether it's modern React patterns or Go service architecture
Our take
In the wake of the gradual shift from physical to virtual interactions, the global internet-only banking industry has also seen tremendous growth in recent years. KOHO Financial is part of this growing trend; they are a financial solution and payment platform built to help Canadians with managing their finances.
Apart from typical savings and budgeting common with money-management apps, KOHO customers enjoy a suite of financial services that help to build better credit, spending habits and insurance. As part of this, its product appeals especially to the majority of the paycheck-to-paycheck demographic.
KOHO's impressive growth and suite of products also appeal to investors who have backed it with one of the highest levels of funding in the Canadian fintech sector. However, this hasn't completely insulated it from the turbulence in the global economy, which led to KOHO restructuring in early 2023. With 2024 debt funding now secured, it is now focused on growth, aiming to further extend its lead in the Canadian market and achieve a Schedule 1 bank licence.
