Senior Backend Engineer – Internal Platforms (Compliance & Risk)

Job title: Senior Backend Engineer – Internal Platforms (Compliance & Risk)

About the Role We're looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to build internal platforms that power how our business manages risk, compliance, and critical operational workflows. This is a high-impact role where you’ll design and build systems that help the company make safe, compliant, and auditable decisions at scale — from vendor risk and trade compliance to approvals, reporting, and integrations. If you enjoy building internal tools, workflow systems, and data-driven platforms, and want to work on problems that sit at the intersection of engineering, security, and business operations, this role is for you.

What You'll Do

• Build Internal Platforms
• Design and develop backend services and APIs for internal business applications
• Build workflow systems for approvals, risk decisions, and operational processes
• Create dashboards and reporting tools for business and technical teams
• Own projects end-to-end: from design to deployment and support
• Compliance & Risk Systems (GRC)
• Build systems to track vendor risk, controls, and compliance evidence
• Develop risk scoring, exception handling, and remediation workflows
• Support audit readiness through structured data and reporting
• Trade Compliance & Decision Systems
• Develop services to evaluate transaction risk (e.g., sanctions, country restrictions)
• Build configurable rules engines for compliance logic and approvals
• Ensure full traceability of decisions, rules, and system activity
• Integrations & Data
• Integrate with platforms like Salesforce, identity systems (SSO), and third-party APIs
• Build data pipelines and services that support reporting and operational insights
• Security & Reliability
• Implement secure authentication and authorization (RBAC, SSO, MFA)
• Ensure systems are auditable, reliable, and designed with privacy in mind
• Follow best practices for secure software development

How You’ll Work

• Partner with Legal/Compliance teams to translate requirements into systems
• Collaborate with IT and Security teams on architecture and best practices
• Work cross-functionally with business teams to improve internal processes

Why This Role Matters

• You’ll be building systems that directly impact how the company:
• Manages risk and compliance
• Reduces manual work through automation
• Improves visibility and decision-making
• This is an opportunity to own critical internal platforms and solve meaningful problems beyond typical product engineering.
