Software Engineer, Backend

Tensec is seeking an experienced Software Engineer to join their team in developing a cutting-edge banking core platform. This role offers a unique opportunity to be a cornerstone of a fintech startup, working with technologies like Real Time Payments, Bank-as-a-service, OCR, and Machine Learning. As a hybrid position based in Palo Alto, you'll work alongside cross-functional teams to build secure, scalable solutions from the ground up.

The ideal candidate will bring professional experience in backend development, with expertise in API development and database design. Knowledge of Node.js is advantageous, but the company values a technology-agnostic mindset and the ability to adapt quickly. This role requires both technical excellence and strong interpersonal skills, as you'll be collaborating with diverse teams across different time zones.

What makes this opportunity special is the chance to shape the technical direction of a promising fintech startup. You'll be involved in every aspect of product development, from architecture decisions to implementation. The company offers competitive compensation, including equity, comprehensive benefits, and a strong commitment to professional development.

Tensec stands out for its developmental organization culture, weaving professional growth into daily operations through mentorship and technical training. They maintain a hybrid work model with core office days on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, believing in the power of face-to-face collaboration while offering flexibility. The company is deeply committed to diversity and inclusion, welcoming candidates from all backgrounds to help redefine the banking industry.
