About
At Synctera, we’re powering the future of FinTech. We help companies create new revenue streams and enhance their value proposition with FinTech apps and embedded banking products. With APIs, compliance support, and bank partners in one end-to-end Banking‑as‑a‑Service platform, Synctera is the fastest and easiest way to build, launch, and scale bank accounts, debit cards, charge cards, lending, and more. We help banks increase deposits and non‑interest income by expanding their footprint through FinTech and embedded finance partnerships. The Synctera Platform enables banks to manage their program through a fully compliant, scalable solution.
How We Build
Engineers play a hands‑on role in building and evolving our core platform. With smaller teams and fewer layers, engineers have real ownership over their work, move quickly from idea to execution, and contribute directly to technical decisions that matter.
You’ll work on systems that must be reliable, secure, and scalable, while helping shape how the platform continues to grow and mature. It’s an environment designed for engineers who enjoy meaningful impact, autonomy, and solving complex problems in a regulated, real‑world context.
Our Stack
The platform is built in Go (backend services) and React with TypeScript (Synctera Console). We’re built on top of Google Cloud Platform, using Postgres (Cloud SQL), Redis (Cloud Memorystore), and Pub/Sub as our core stack, with OpenAPI specs for API documentation and inter‑service communication. Infrastructure is predominantly Kubernetes (Google Kubernetes Engine), with Terraform orchestrating infrastructure and Argo for deployments.
What We’re Looking For
Senior Software Engineer to join our Risk & Compliance Engineering team, building scalable, high‑impact risk and compliance systems that support financial innovation safely. The role spans prevention (KYC/KYB/ account verification), detection (real‑time transaction monitoring for fraud/AML), and compliance (case management, SAR, CTR). The engineer collaborates extensively with cross‑functional teams and external partners to deliver payment solutions.
What You’ll Do
Build and maintain scalable, reliable backend services in Go (Golang) Ensure high availability and fault tolerance of critical financial services Build integrations with third‑party vendors Find cleaner, simpler ways to solve technical problems and improve existing systems Collaborate closely with cross‑functional teams to solve engineering problems Partner with Product, Engineering, and operational teams to understand complex financial services challenges and design solutions Identify and implement process improvements and development best practices that raise the bar for quality and efficiency Advocate for and mentor software engineers in development best practices, fostering skill and knowledge sharing across the team

5+ years of professional experience as a Software Engineer Experience with Go or a comparable structured and opinionated language Experience with PostgreSQL or other relational databases Experience with at least one major cloud provider, preferably Google Cloud Experience in using and creating RESTful APIs Nice to have: experience being part of early‑stage, fast‑moving engineering teams; experience in FinTech, embedded finance, or payment systems
