Description For Senior Software Engineer - Backend

Swadesh is pioneering the development of India's first digital bank specifically designed for Indian expats worldwide, addressing a market equivalent to 70% of India's GDP. The company is revolutionizing the banking infrastructure and experience for the world's largest expat population to facilitate increased capital flow back to India.

As a Senior Backend Software Engineer at Swadesh, you'll be at the forefront of building critical financial infrastructure. The role involves significant responsibility in shaping product direction, making key architecture decisions, and developing backend infrastructure including internal ledger systems. You'll work directly with founders to scope and build optimal solutions while establishing and maintaining engineering processes as the company grows.

The company is backed by prestigious investors including Khosla Ventures, 8VC, Section32, and notable entrepreneurs. With offices across the United States, India, and Canada, Swadesh has already launched its first product - enabling Indians moving to the US to open FDIC Insured checking accounts from India, complete with Visa Debit cards and AT&T SIM cards.

The team culture is unique, comprising musicians, former professional cricketers, and fintech enthusiasts who understand firsthand the challenges of building lives abroad. They're driven by the mission to improve financial systems for Indians both at home and abroad.

This role offers an opportunity to make a significant impact on a rapidly growing fintech platform while working with a passionate team that values innovation and user experience. The position combines technical leadership with the excitement of building a product that solves real problems for millions of Indian expats.
