Read Before You Apply 🚨
This role is not for everyone. We are looking for outlier engineers who:
Have owned products end-to-end, from idea to production monitoring.
Have managed live incidents, written post-mortems, and implemented long-term fixes.
Passionate about delivering exceptional product experiences and maximizing user impact, beyond just writing code.
Years of experience don’t matter — what matters is the depth of ownership, incident handling, and product impact you’ve delivered.
If this doesn’t sound like you, no worries — Midas has other opportunities that may be a better fit.
What You’ll Do
- Design and build scalable, low-latency systems powering real-time trading and financial data.
- Take full ownership: from ideation, architecture, development, release & monitoring in production.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with product, design, and infrastructure teams to deliver impactful features.
What We’re Looking For
- Strong fundamentals in computer science and system design.
- Hands-on backend development experience.
- Deep knowledge of relational databases, caching systems, and distributed systems.
- Proficient in containerized environments and modern cloud infrastructure, ensuring resilient and efficient deployments
- Familiarity with event-driven architectures, microservices, reactive programming models.
- Proven incident response experience in large-scale production environments is a strong plus.
- Prior exposure to financial or mission-critical systems is a strong plus.
How We Work
- Full ownership — you don’t wait, you solve.
- First principles mindset — you question assumptions and rebuild where needed.
- Balance speed & quality — you ship fast, but always clean.
- Product mindset — you care about the user impact, not just the code.
- Calm under pressure — incidents happen; you lead with clarity and composure.
We don’t measure success by how many features you ship — but by the impact your work has on millions of users. If you thrive in high-stakes environments, love solving real problems, and own your work end-to-end, we want to meet you.
