About DreamFi

DreamFi is building the future of accessible digital banking—fast, intuitive, and secure. We’re leveraging cutting-edge technology and Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) platforms to launch financial products that help people take control of their money without the complexity of traditional banks.

We’re a small, high-impact team looking for versatile engineers who are passionate about building elegant, user-friendly, and secure fintech products from the ground up.
Role Overview:

This role will begin as a six-month contract engagement through MojoTech, working closely alongside the DreamFi team in a fully integrated capacity. Following the initial contract period, the expectation is for the individual to transition into a full-time employee role directly with DreamFi, contingent upon performance and business needs.

As a Lead Engineer at DreamFi, you’ll be a hands-on technical leader responsible for building and scaling our platform from early stages. You’ll work closely with the VP of Engineering to define the technical vision, establish best practices, and guide the growth of our engineering function.

Responsibilities:

  • Partner with the VP of Engineering to set the technical direction, team processes, and development roadmap

  • Own integrations with BaaS providers (e.g., Synapse, Unit, Galileo) and other fintech APIs
  • Collaborate closely with product, design, and leadership to translate business needs into technical execution
  • Mentor and support engineers through code reviews, guidance, and career growth
  • Scale and maintain infrastructure using modern DevOps practices (IaC, CI/CD, monitoring)
  • Help define and support hiring efforts to grow a world-class engineering team

Desired Skills & Experience:

  • 5+ years of professional experience in software engineering, with 1–2+ years in a leadership role
  • Deep backend experience with Golang in production environments
  • Solid experience building mobile apps with React Native
  • Strong understanding of AWS services (Lambda, ECS, RDS, S3, IAM, etc.)
  • Experience integrating BaaS or third-party fintech APIs
  • Proficiency in PostgreSQL, including schema design, query optimization, and migrations
  • Working experience with TypeScript in production environments
  • Familiarity with secure API design, authentication (OAuth2, JWT), and data protection
  • Strong understanding of engineering best practices around testing, version control, CI/CD, and code maintainability
  • A collaborative mindset, strong communication skills, and the ability to work across disciplines
  • A passion for mentoring, shipping high-quality code, and working in a fast-paced startup environment
  • Experience with early-stage fintech startups or regulated environments
  • Familiarity with compliance frameworks (e.g., PCI, SOC 2)
  • Familiarity with accessibility standards, including WCAG guidelines
  • Experience with observability tools
  • Background in setting up engineering documentation and onboarding processes

Why Join Us

  • Take a leadership role with real influence on product, architecture, and culture.
  • Work side-by-side with the VP of Technology and founding team.
  • Equity and growth opportunities at a fast-growing fintech startup.
  • Remote-first culture, flexible hours, and strong autonomy.

Compensation Structure

Initial 6-month contract engagement at $58-72/hour, with intended transition to a full-time salaried position at $120,000 - $150,000 annual base salary following the contract period.
