Senior Backend Engineer – Event-Driven & Greenfield Development

Goods & Services is looking for a Senior Backend Engineer – Event-Driven & Greenfield Development to help build the platform’s event-driven architecture and develop new, scalable backend capabilities. The role will focus on designing reliable event-based solutions, establishing new services from the ground up, and delivering robust functionality across key business domains.

What you’ll do:

• Design, build, and maintain event-driven infrastructure, including event buses, schema management, messaging integrations, error handling, and reliable event processing.
• Develop and enhance backend integrations with internal and third-party services, implementing resilient patterns such as circuit breakers, retries, and backoff strategies.
• Design and develop new backend capabilities for credit management, including event models, system integrations, and automated workflows to support key business processes.
• Build event-driven reporting solutions that leverage data from multiple business domains to support report generation, approval workflows, and business insights.
• Support production readiness and traffic migration activities, including validating new services under real-world traffic and ensuring reliable adoption as capabilities are introduced.

What you’ll need:

• Hands-on experience with AWS EventBridge and event-driven architecture, including event schema design, Schema Registry, dead-letter queues (DLQs), replay, and reliable event processing.
• Experience integrating third-party APIs and external services, with knowledge of resilience patterns such as circuit breakers, retries, timeouts, and backoff strategies.
• Solid domain and event modeling experience, ideally in a lending or credit-risk domain, with the ability to design scalable event schemas and data models for business-critical workflows.
• Experience building data and reporting integrations, including reporting databases, data pipelines, business intelligence tools such as Tableau, and event-driven reporting workflows.
• Experience designing and developing greenfield backend services, with the ability to establish new domains, services, and architectures without relying on existing legacy implementations.
• Strong backend engineering experience, including developing RESTful APIs, backend services, and integrations using scalable and maintainable design practices.
• Experience with AWS messaging and integration services, such as SQS, and implementing reliable asynchronous communication between distributed services.
• Experience with production readiness and system validation, including performance testing, monitoring, troubleshooting, and supporting controlled traffic rollout of new services.

Nice to have:

• Experience in lending, financial services, or risk management is a plus.
