We are partnering with a US startup building a modern financial platform for college athletes and sport faculties.

The product combines personalized financial guidance, automated tax and savings tools, and streamlined admin workflows — helping athletes manage their money while schools stay compliant.

At its core, the backend is powered by Go and runs entirely on AWS, ensuring performance and reliability at scale.

Collaborate with senior engineers and architects on system design and technical decisions.
Implement integrations with external APIs and third-party services (payments, compliance, tax systems).
Write clean, maintainable, and testable code following best practices.
Participate in code reviews, ensuring code quality and consistency across the team.
Work closely with frontend, mobile, and DevOps teams to deliver end-to-end solutions.
Contribute to improving observability, monitoring, and performance across services.
Support deployment and infrastructure improvements in partnership with DevOps (Terraform, GitHub Actions, AWS).
