Lead Backend Engineer

RL Wealth Management is an independent wealth management firm advising families, business owners and retirees. RL Wealth Management has an opening for a Lead Backend Engineer. This hire will help us split a large monolith into a handful of well-defined services without breaking anything customers rely on. Our headquarters is in Cardiff, and about a third of the team works remotely from other countries. We engage team members in Bangladesh as full-time contractors. Most of our contractors have been with us for more than two years. Working hours overlap with UK business hours. You get a company laptop and a headset before you start.

The job includes: instrument services with metrics, structured logs and OpenTelemetry traces; implement background jobs and event consumers using Kafka, SQS or RabbitMQ; add caching with Redis where it actually helps, and remove it where it doesn't.

Skills and experience

• 8-10 years of backend development experience in a production environment
• Hands-on experience with AWS, GCP or Azure services

We offer long-term engagement, monthly internet allowance, paid time off and monthly payments via wire transfer or Wise.
