Senior Software Engineer (C#, .NET, AWS)

Senior Software Engineer (C# .NET)Payments & Financial Infrastructure (Remote)A fast-scaling global payments infrastructure company is building thefinancial rails that move real money across bordersat speed, at scale, and with zero tolerance for failure.

The platform powers cross-border transactions for SMEs and enterprises using a blend oftraditional banking networks and stablecoin-backed blockchain rails. Transaction sizes are meaningful. The systems are live. The consequences are real.

The engineering team isdistributed, lean, and fast-moving. Decisions are made quickly. Priorities shift. External partners change things without warning. The expectation is simple:build systems that hold up in the real world.

This is not a feature factory role.

This isfinancial infrastructure.

They are now hiring aSenior Software Engineer (C# .NET)to play a key role in shaping and stabilising their backend payments platform.

The Role

(What You're Really Signing Up For)As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll own and evolve critical backend services that sit directly in the path of money movement.

You'll:

• Design and build API-driven services that process real payments
• Integrate with banks, payment providers, identity platforms, and blockchain rails
• Balancespeed vs safety, often with incomplete information
• Take responsibility when things go wrong not just when they go right
• This role suits someone who hasalready worked in regulated, high-risk systemsand understands that elegance matters less than reliability.

What You'll Be Doing

• Backend & API Engineering
• Design and build secure, scalable APIs in.NET 8 / C#,powering payment and stablecoin transactions
• Own backend services end-to-end from design through production support
• Build background processing, scheduled jobs, and webhook-driven workflows
• Integrate with third-party payment, banking, KYC and identity providers
• Payments, Crypto & Real-World Complexity
• Implement logic that touchesreal money, not test data
• Build and maintain integrations across traditional rails and blockchain-backed stablecoin flows
• Create mock services and defensive layers for partners without stable test environments
• Design systems that expect breaking changes outside your control
• Security, Risk & Compliance (By Design)
• Implement secure API patterns: authentication, encryption, auditing and monitoring
• Treat financial data with the caution it deserves
• Build systems that work within regulatory and compliance constraints rather than fighting them
• Cloud, Infrastructure & Reliability
• Deploy and operate services on
• AWS(Lambda, EC2, DynamoDB, S3)
• Collaborate closely with DevOps on CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions)
• Build containerised services (Docker) designed for scalability and resilience
• Monitor production systems using tools likeDataDog, catching issues early
• Team & Ways of Working
• Work closely with product and engineering to convert evolving requirements into stable systems
• Review code, raise the bar, and challenge risky assumptions
• Be comfortable with context-switching between BAU stabilisation and new feature work
• Communicate clearly in a fully remote, distributed team
• The Technical Stack
• Backend:.NET 8, C#, EF Core, Hangfire, Rest
• Ease, NUnit
• Data:

Payments, identity verification, banking partners, stablecoin railsWho This Role IsReallyForYou'll Likely Thrive If You:

• Have5 yearsof building production backend systems in
• C# .NETHave worked infintech, banking, payments, or regulated environments
• Understand that money isrisk, not just data
• Are calm under pressure and methodical when things break
• Can operate without perfect specs or stable third parties
• Take ownership instead of waiting for instructions
• Prefer reliability and clarity over shiny greenfield builds
• This Role Is Probably
• Notfor You If You:
• Need everything fully specified before you start
• Prefer slow, linear delivery cycles
• Avoid BAU, optimisation, or legacy improvement work
• Get frustrated by external dependencies you don't control
• Are uncomfortable dealing with production responsibility(Both kinds of engineers are good just not for this role.)
• Nice-to-Haves (Not Deal Breakers)
• Experience with blockchain or stablecoin-based payment flows
• Hands-on use of DataDog for logs, metrics, and alerting
• Familiarity with Auth0 or similar auth providers
• Experience building integration-heavy systems with multiple external APIsExposure to financial compliance or regulated domains
• What Makes This Worthwhile
• Real ownership:

You'll work on systems that matter, not internal tooling nobody usesHigh impact:

Your decisions directly affect real-world payments and customersFast growth:

Early-stage scale means fast learning and expanding responsibilityDistributed team:

Remote-first, pragmatic, outcome-focusedMeaningful work:

You're enabling faster, more accessible financial infrastructure globallyFinal NoteThis environment rewards engineers who are:

ThoughtfulCautiousAccountableComfortable with ambiguityIt is not about being the loudest or fastest,It's aboutbuilding systems that don't break when it matters most.
