$3,000/wk - $3,000/wkZom Technologies is building next-generation intelligence for financial advisors and wealth teams.

Financial Services
Responsibilities
Own backend engineering end-to-end: design, implement, test, ship, and maintain backend services that power the platform
Build and harden APIs that support product functionality and AI-driven workflows (clear contracts, consistent errors, versioning where needed)
Design and maintain data models and persistence layers (schemas, migrations, performance, integrity, and access patterns)
Implement and stabilize integrations (including auth flows, webhooks, retries, idempotency, and monitoring)
Drive production readiness and reliability:
Improve observability (logging, metrics, tracing, where applicable)
Set up alerting and error reporting
Strengthen failure handling and resilience patterns
Own performance and security basics: authentication/authorization, rate limiting as needed, secrets management practices, input validation, and secure integration handling
Debug and resolve incidents quickly with root-cause fixes (not just patches), and improve system stability over time
Collaborate with leadership and engineering for execution visibility:
Partner with the COO on priorities, timelines, and delivery expectations
Work closely with the Senior AI Engineer to support AI workflows with dependable backend endpoints
Provide clear progress updates, surface blockers early, and flag technical risks proactively
Write maintainable, well-documented code and continuously improve backend architecture as the product matures
Build with compliance in mind. All code and infrastructure built will need to remain compliant. We use automated software to check that we remain compliant
Qualification
Required
Proven experience building and owning production backend systems (APIs, services, databases, integrations)
Strong backend fundamentals: API design, data modeling, service architecture, and debugging
Experience delivering reliable third-party integrations (webhooks, external APIs, auth, retries, idempotency)
Comfort operating in a fast-moving startup environment with high autonomy and accountability
Practical experience with production hardening: monitoring/logging, error handling, incident response, and reliability improvements
Strong communication skills, able to provide visibility, align with stakeholders, and proactively flag risks
Preferred
Experience supporting AI-enabled product workflows (async jobs, queues, event-driven systems, model-facing endpoints)
Familiarity with scaling patterns (caching, background processing, rate limiting, load/perf testing)
Experience working in environments with stronger compliance/security expectations (e.g., SOC 2-minded practices)
