Open role
[Remote] Senior Software Engineer - Settlement
Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Cari Network is building a blockchain-based payment system for real-time movement of digital money across traditional finance and digital assets. The Senior Software Engineer - Settlement will own platform components end to end, including bank-facing dashboards, TypeScript services, interbank settlement workflows, and integrations, while improving production reliability and partner adoption.
Responsibilities
- Build and evolve our bank-facing management dashboard: bank onboarding, user and role management (RBAC), transaction monitoring, settlement operations, interbank book transfer tracking, and developer tooling such as API keys and webhooks
- Design and ship the TypeScript backend services that power those experiences — orchestration, bank, transaction, bilateral netting, and settlement APIs
- Build and maintain integrations with bank partners and third-party platforms, including provider adapters, webhook-driven flows, and real-time event updates
- Model and evolve the PostgreSQL schemas behind core banking entities, with the correctness and auditability of financial data demands
- Raise the engineering bar: automated testing, CI/CD, observability, release engineering, and deployment practices in collaboration with DevOps that let a small team ship safely and often
- Work with product and design to turn tokenization complexity into familiar banking primitives rather than crypto concepts
- Write the documentation, integration guides, and reference implementations that let bank partners adopt Cari without hand-holding
- Comply with all Cari information security policies, including the Acceptable Use Policy, and complete required security awareness training
- Protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of Cari systems and data, including bank-partner and customer information, consistent with least-privilege access principles
