[Remote] Staff Engineer – Platform Engineering

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Intellibus designs and engineers platforms trusted by established FinTech and financial trading firms. They are seeking a Staff Engineer to design, build, and own full-stack systems powering financial platforms, requiring a comprehensive understanding of both frontend and backend engineering.ResponsibilitiesBuild scalable frontend platforms using React, Next.js, and TypeScriptDesign modern UI architectures: server-side rendering, component-driven design, performance optimization, and state management patternsDevelop reusable component systems and scalable frontend frameworksBuild backend services using Node.js and NestJSDesign and implement REST APIs, microservices, asynchronous workflows, and high-performance data processing systemsWork with SQL and NoSQL databases using TypeORM, and optimize for throughput and reliabilityDesign distributed systems built on event-driven architecture using Kafka, Azure Service Bus, Azure Event Grid, and messaging/queue systemsBuild services that process high-volume financial events and real-time trading dataDeploy and operate systems on Microsoft Azure, including Azure App Services, Azure Data Fabric, messaging platforms, Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and Linux environmentsDesign infrastructure that supports resilient, scalable distributed systemsSkillsYou have designed and operated event-driven distributed systems that process high-volume real-time dataYou have a deep understanding of algorithms, data structures, and time complexity — and you apply that understanding to build systems, not just pass interviewsYou have built full-stack platforms using React/Next.js and Node.js/NestJS that run reliably in productionYou have hands-on experience with message queues, streaming platforms, and asynchronous workflows — Kafka, Azure Service Bus, BullMQ, or similarYou reason clearly about system trade-offs: latency vs. throughput, consistency vs. availability, speed vs. reliabilityYou have operated systems in cloud environments like Microsoft Azure, including debugging production incidents and improving performance under pressureYou design systems end-to-end and take ownership of architecture and production outcomes — not just the code you wroteYou have mentored other engineers and contributed to architecture reviews, engineering standards, and technical decision-makingYou communicate well under pressure. You can hold your ground in a room full of stakeholders, explain a technical decision to a non-technical audience, and navigate situations where the right path forward is not obviousBuild scalable frontend platforms using React, Next.js, and TypeScriptDesign modern UI architectures: server-side rendering, component-driven design, performance optimization, and state management patternsDevelop reusable component systems and scalable frontend frameworksBuild backend services using Node.js and NestJSDesign and implement REST APIs, microservices, asynchronous workflows, and high-performance data processing systemsWork with SQL and NoSQL databases using TypeORM, and optimize for throughput and reliabilityDesign distributed systems built on event-driven architecture using Kafka, Azure Service Bus, Azure Event Grid, and messaging/queue systemsBuild services that process high-volume financial events and real-time trading dataDeploy and operate systems on Microsoft Azure, including Azure App Services, Azure Data Fabric, messaging platforms, Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and Linux environmentsDesign infrastructure that supports resilient, scalable distributed systemsCompany OverviewWe are a team of passionate software engineers and entrepreneurs.
