About the role
We're looking for a backend engineer to build the services and infrastructure behind Figure's consumer mobile application, including auth, payments, and tooling. You'll own systems end to end, from identity and billing to delivery pipelines, internal dashboards, and the cloud platform they run on.
What you'll bring
- 5+ years building production backend systems at scale.
- Strong distributed systems fundamentals: APIs, queues, storage, and event-driven architecture.
- Hands-on experience with payments, billing, or fintech infrastructure.
- Hands-on infrastructure experience: AWS or GCP, Terraform or similar, containers, and CI/CD.
- Proficiency in Go, Python, or similar.
- Experience shipping systems that move real money for real users, with the reliability bar that implies.
- Marketplace or gig platform experience (Uber, TaskRabbit, DoorDash, or similar).
- Fintech background (Square, Stripe, DailyPay, or similar).
- Experience with media storage and processing pipelines at scale.
- Experience as the first or only infrastructure owner on a small team.
- The pay offered for this position may vary based on several individual factors, including job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
- This information will be shared if an employment offer is extended.
