Description
We’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to play a key role in designing and building the next generation of Advance’s banking platform.
You’ll work on mission-critical systems that move money, manage accounts, and power intelligent workflows - with AI as a first-class citizen, not an afterthought. This role is highly
hands-on and involves close collaboration with product, frontend, and AI engineering.
What You’ll Do
Design and build core backend services for a vertical banking platform
Own end-to-end development of scalable, secure, and reliable financial systems
Develop and integrate AI-driven workflows (e.g. intelligent automation, decisioning,
reconciliation, agent-based flows)
Work extensively with modern AI tools and frameworks to accelerate development and
improve system capabilities
Architect APIs and data models that support complex financial and insurance use cases
Collaborate closely with frontend engineers on React / Next.js-based applications
Take part in technical decision-making and help shape the engineering culture and
architecture
Ensure high standards for code quality, observability, security, and performance
Tech Stack (and What You Should Be Comfortable With)
Backend: Python (FastAPI or similar)
Infrastructure & Cloud: AWS (serverless, managed services, IAM, networking)
Databases: PostgreSQL (schema design, performance, migrations)
Frontend familiarity: React + TypeScript, Next.js (you won’t be a frontend engineer, but
you’ll work closely with it)
AI & Automation:
Experience building or integrating AI workflows
Working with LLMs, agents, or orchestration frameworks
Strong intuition for where AI adds real value (not just demos)
Bonus: Event-driven systems, payments, banking APIs, or fintech/insurtech experience
What We’re Looking For
8+ years of experience as a backend or platform engineer
Strong system design skills and experience owning complex services in production
Proven ability to work independently and take ownership
Curiosity and enthusiasm for AI-native development
Pragmatic mindset - you know when to move fast and when to be precise
Experience in fintech, banking, payments, or insurance is a strong plus (but not required)
