The Opportunity: Senior Backend Engineer, Cashalo

We're looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join the the team building Cashalo. You'll play a key role in building and scaling the core technology that powers financial access for millions of Filipinos - working on product-facing features, platform reliability, and technical initiatives across our .NET and Azure stack.

This is a high-ownership IC role on a lean, globally connected team. You'll work closely with product, credit, and engineering colleagues across APAC, with a global team to leverage when needed.

  • Help uplift the team through code reviews, knowledge sharing, and a high bar for quality

Why You're a Great Fit

  • Strong experience with SQL Server — relational data modelling, query optimisation, and schema management

  • Experience building on a public cloud platform (Azure, AWS, GCP)

  • Strong fundamentals in designing and consuming REST APIs

  • A product engineer mindset - you care about solving real user and business problems, not just writing clean code

  • Comfortable operating with autonomy in a fast-moving, lean team where ownership and initiative are valued

  • Experience in fintech or lending is a plus
