At Synctera, engineers play a hands-on role in building and evolving our core platform. With smaller teams and fewer layers, engineers have real ownership over their work, move quickly from idea to execution, and contribute directly to technical decisions that matter.
You’ll work on internal systems that must be reliable, secure, and scalable, while helping shape how the platform continues to grow and mature. It’s an environment designed for engineers who enjoy meaningful impact, autonomy, and solving complex problems in a regulated, real-world context.
Our platform is built in Go (for backend services) and React with Typescript (for the Synctera Console, our frontend). We’re built on top of Google Cloud Platform and typically use Postgres (Cloud SQL, AlloyDB), Redis (Cloud Memorystore), and Pub/Sub as our core application stack, with OpenAPI specifications being used to both document our API and be the foundation for inter-service communication.
Our infrastructure is predominantly a mixture of Kubernetes (Google Kubernetes Engine) and Cloud Run (Google’s serverless compute platform), with Terraform orchestrating infrastructure, and tools like Argo facilitating deployments.
The Cards team is critical to Synctera's platform, ensuring the reliable and secure processing of card transactions and issuing spending cards. We are looking for an exceptional engineer to help build the future of our card offering.
The role is highly autonomous, requiring strong technical skills and an ownership mindset. The engineer will significantly influence product outcomes, moving beyond the ticket board to make product visions a reality. We are looking for an engineer ready to jump in and run with our fast-growing team, contributing directly to major technical decisions.
