About the Role

At Synctera, a Most Loved Workplace® certified employer in the Financial Services space, Powering the future of FinTech with embedded banking infrastructure for all.

At Synctera, engineers play a hands-on role in building and evolving our core platform. You’ll work on systems that must be reliable, secure, and scalable, while helping shape how the platform continues to grow and mature. Our platform is built in Go (for backend services) and React with Typescript (for the Synctera Console, our frontend). We’re built on top of Google Cloud Platform and typically use Postgres (Cloud SQL), Redis (Cloud Memorystore), and Pub/Sub as our core application stack, with OpenAPI specifications being used to both document our API and be the foundation for inter-service communication. The Risk and Compliance Engineering team is a cornerstone of Synctera’s platform, safeguarding our network of fintechs, banks, and end customers. Our mission is to build scalable, high-impact risk and compliance systems that enable financial innovation to grow safely–from initial onboarding through ongoing oversight and regulatory reporting.
