Lead Backend Engineer (Core Banking)

About the Company and Role

We are looking for a Lead Backend Engineer (Core Banking) to lead the development of a new in-house core banking platform.

Our client is an international fintech company building a global neobanking platform. The company is moving away from an outsourced core banking solution to gain greater control over its architecture, product development, and integrations.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role requiring a strong understanding of banking infrastructure, from customer accounts and transaction ledgers to payments and third-party integrations.

You will work directly with the CTO on architectural decisions, take ownership of core backend development, and initially lead a small engineering team.

The initial focus will be on developing the platform's core banking infrastructure, including account management, transaction processing, and integrations with financial service
