Software Engineer, Backend

Tensec is seeking an experienced Software Engineer to join their team in developing their innovative banking core platform. This role presents a unique opportunity to be at the forefront of financial technology, working with cutting-edge technologies including Real Time Payments, Bank-as-a-service, OCR, and Machine Learning.

As a backend software engineer at Tensec, you'll be more than just an employee – you'll be a cornerstone of the company, directly influencing the startup's trajectory and technical direction. The position offers a perfect blend of technical challenges and creative freedom, allowing you to build products from the ground up while setting architectural standards for the future.

The role is based in Palo Alto, CA, with a hybrid work arrangement requiring office presence on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. This setup reflects Tensec's commitment to maintaining personal connections while offering flexibility. Your responsibilities will span from designing and developing the core banking platform to implementing best practices for application development, testing, and deployment.

The role requires both technical excellence and strong interpersonal skills, as you'll be working closely with cross-functional teams across different time zones.

Tensec offers a comprehensive benefits package including equity options, competitive salary, medical/dental/vision coverage, mental health benefits, and professional development opportunities. The company strongly emphasizes personal growth, weaving development opportunities into daily operations through mentorship and technical training.
