Backend Software Engineer - Bankruptcy & Hardship (BAH)

Helprise is an organization that combines global reach with local talent. We work for companies that value quality, partnership, and responsibility, creating teams that really work. By precisely matching skills and business needs, we connect specialists with projects where their knowledge has a real impact.

• 5+ years of backend engineering experience, ideally in Kotlin, Java, or Python (in order of preference).
• Strong familiarity with distributed systems concepts: queues, async processing, retries, and event-driven architectures or message queues (e.g., Kafka, SQS).
• Strong fundamentals: clean, well-tested, readable code, and the ability to communicate clearly about trade-offs and risk.

Nice to have:

• Experience in regulated or compliance-sensitive environments (fintech, lending, debt management, financial servicing).
• Experience with AWS or another major cloud provider.

• Design, build, and maintain backend services and event-driven pipelines that orchestrate bankruptcy workflows and hardship support, with a high bar for correctness, auditability, and reliability.
• Take independent, end-to-end ownership of backend services or pipelines of meaningful scope — from design through production.
• Collaborate closely with product, compliance, and platform teams to ship compliant, well-tested features that serve customers in critical financial moments.
• Help shape foundational systems and engineering standards for a newly formed team: participate in design and code reviews and proactively flag compliance or correctness risks.
