About the role
Self Financial, a venture-backed FinTech, is hiring a Backend Software Engineer to own backend services powering mobile and web experiences. You’ll work with Python, Flask, and FastAPI, delivering scalable APIs and robust data models in a fast-paced environment. You’ll collaborate with Product, Design, and QA to ship user-focused improvements, mentor junior engineers, and help raise the technical bar across the team, all while supporting a remote-friendly, inclusive culture.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
