Junior Backend Engineer

Most clients live within an hour's drive and come in for reviews twice a year. Everyone here is salaried. Nobody is paid on product sales. Licensing exams (SIE, Series 7, Series 66) are paid for, with study time during work hours.

We're looking for a Junior Backend Engineer to join our team. This is a remote role. We want someone who writes boring, reliable code and leaves good logs behind. Backend role focused on API design, data modelling and making slow things fast. Our headquarters is in Sacramento, and about a third of the team works remotely from other countries. This is a long-term contractor role, paid monthly in USD. You will need at least 3 hours of overlap with US Pacific time.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• Review code for correctness, performance and failure handling
• Design and build REST and gRPC APIs in Go, Java or Python
• Handle on-call for services the team owns and lead incident follow-ups
• Coordinate with frontend and mobile engineers on API contracts and versioning

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 1-2 years of backend development experience in a production environment
• Proficiency in at least one of Go, Java, Kotlin, Python, C# or Node.js
• Hands-on experience with AWS, GCP or Azure services

WHY WORK WITH US

• Flexible hours
• Annual rate review
• Long-term engagement

We may close this posting early once we have enough applications.
