The Role
As a Senior Backend and Data Engineer at Kunai, you'll work on a SCRUM team to develop and support backend services and features for a payments platform.

Summary Generated by Built In

Kunai is a fast-growing digital consultancy focused on banking, payments, and fintech powered by a global network that attracts the best and brightest people from all backgrounds and cultures, driven by innovation and experimentation, spread across almost every single continent. Over the past decade, we've shipped over 150 products for clients that include Visa, American Express, Capital One, WEX, Wells Fargo, Ernst & Young, and TOMS Shoes. Our founders built a previous agency (Monsoon) that was acquired by Capital One in 2015.

On the forefront of Kunai’s recent efforts is building a payments platform that will be instrumental in enabling repeatability, stability and quality for multiple development teams across a partner bank. In this role, you’ll work on a SCRUM team that will own products and services end to end, from intent refinement to development to production support. You will build new features and support tooling and ML efforts for the larger transformation within the card technology organization, involving a migration from a microservices-based architecture in Java to a bespoke data-centric solution that can scale like never before. This is part of a 2+ year investment in the platform. 

Basic Requirements: 

  • 6+ yrs working in a production environment in any language, with 3+ yrs writing backend services in Java
  • hands-on experience with Spark or other Big Data technologies
  • production-ready experience in a serverless environment
  • 3+ yrs hands-on with any NoSQL database
  • 1+ yr hands-on with Cassandra. You'll be working primarily in Cassandra.  
  • experience with orchestrating pipelines in either AWS, GCP, or Azure

Nice to haves: 

  • Golang or Python
  • experience in automated testing, end to end testing, or integration testing
  • DynamoDB
  • AWS Glue
  • Devops mindset 


This role is remote but core working hours align to EST. The salary range for this position is $155,000 - $175,000 per annum. A slightly higher range is available to residents of NYC. 

At Kunai, we have built deep relationships with our clients. Our bar is high, and our mission is to always exceed our client’s expectations. If you are fanatical about customer success and driven to work on and solve tough technical challenges, we would love to chat with you!
