Original job description

MatchBox Consulting Group is currently seeking a Senior Software Engineer for permanent role with a client of ours located in Vancouver.

Responsibilities:

Contribute to architectural direction, establish the foundation for the next generation of the platform, and plan the transition from the existing system.
Work across the full product ecosystem, including checkout, merchant portal, risk and underwriting engine, loan management, and public APIs.
Design modular, composable systems with clear contracts and well-defined boundaries, balancing shared abstractions with independent components.
Ensure correctness across financial transactions, payments, disbursements, and ledger entries, with robust reconciliation, failure handling, retries, and recovery mechanisms.
Build and maintain third-party integrations across payment processors, banking infrastructure, credit bureaus, and KYC providers, accounting for external API failures and limitations.
Take ownership of production operations, including troubleshooting, incident response, and ongoing system reliability.
Develop compliance capabilities as core product functionality, including audit trails, access controls, and reporting to support regulatory requirements.
Own delivery from architecture through deployment within six-week product cycles, following Shape Up principles and maintaining accountability for outcomes.
Participate in six-week rotations on, the bug-hunting and continuous improvement team, addressing technical debt, improving system quality, and building knowledge across the platform.

Requirements:

4+ years of full-stack software development experience, with a back-end focus and a product-oriented mindset; capable of building focused, functional interfaces without unnecessary complexity.
Strong TypeScript fundamentals, with experience in other languages such as Go, Python, Java, or C# also valued.
Deep PostgreSQL experience, including schema evolution, transaction isolation, lock contention, query optimization, and working directly with SQL rather than relying on ORMs.
Experience building asynchronous and long-running workflows, with a strong understanding of idempotency, retries, partial failures, and out-of-order events. Temporal experience is beneficial but not required.
Experience developing systems where financial accuracy is critical, such as ledgers, reconciliation, billing, or payments, with a strong focus on correctness and failure scenarios.
Proven ownership of significant product and technical decisions, including accountability for business outcomes and long-term consequences.
Practical, daily use of LLMs in software development, with the ability to articulate their benefits, limitations, and appropriate applications.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders across risk, finance, and customer care.
Clear technical opinions, sound engineering judgment, and the ability to challenge ideas constructively while balancing technical quality with business needs.
Ability to work autonomously in a small, collaborative team within a regulated environment, balancing engineering priorities with necessary compliance and operational processes.
Experience in a consequence-aware industry such as fintech, health tech, insurance, or payments is a strong asset, particularly where software errors have direct implications for customers.
