Software Engineer

As a Software Engineer at Numeral, you will be responsible for designing, building, and maintaining our payments platform at a high scale. Your work will focus on resolving real-life payments and fintech challenges while collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver cutting-edge features that enhance the customer experience. You will also be tasked with leading end-to-end feature delivery from design through to deployment and proposing improvements to architecture.

To be a successful Software Engineer at Numeral, you should have experience with Golang or similar programming languages, familiarity with relational databases and SQL, and an understanding of managing high-concurrency environments. Essential skills also include solid API design for security and documentation, and a passion for producing high-quality, maintainable code.

Software Engineers at Numeral primarily work with Golang or similar general-purpose, compiled, and statically typed languages. These core languages allow our engineers to build scalable backend systems that ensure the security and performance of our services.

At Numeral, Software Engineers benefit from competitive salaries, equity shares, and opportunities for personal development. We promote a hybrid or remote working setup, offer a 30-day working abroad policy, and provide a paid three-week sabbatical after five years of service. Your health and professional growth are our priorities.

Numeral is deeply committed to the professional growth of our Software Engineers. We offer plenty of learning and development opportunities and foster a culture that values curiosity and autonomy. Our environment encourages knowledge sharing and teamwork, allowing you to continuously improve your skills and advance in your career.

When debugging, I methodically review the code, isolating variables and replicating the issue to understand it better. I leverage logging and testing frameworks to pinpoint the problem, always keeping in mind best practices to ensure the final solution is robust and maintainable.

I have extensive experience with Golang, particularly in developing scalable applications. I appreciate its concurrency model, which is invaluable for high-volume SaaS platforms. I also have experience with similar statically typed languages that support my backend development skills.

To ensure code quality, I follow best practices, including writing unit tests and conducting peer reviews. I also emphasize the importance of code readability and documentation, which helps maintain code quality over time.

I actively follow industry leaders on platforms like LinkedIn, read relevant blogs, and participate in fintech forums. Continuous learning through courses and webinars is also part of my routine to stay ahead in this fast-evolving field.

One of the biggest challenges I’ve faced is managing the complexities of high concurrency and transaction integrity. I’ve implemented design patterns that help me navigate these challenges while ensuring performance and security in the application.

Absolutely! In a previous role, I led the delivery of a payments processing feature that required extensive collaboration across teams. From initial brainstorming to implementation, I drove the project by defining requirements, coding, and ensuring successful deployment.

I admire Numeral's innovative approach to fintech and its commitment to transforming the banking landscape. The focus on collaboration and development resonates with my career goals, and I’m excited about the opportunity to contribute to projects that have real-world impact.

I prioritize tasks based on urgency and impact, using agile methodologies. Regular check-ins with my team help reassess priorities and ensure that we remain aligned on project goals while staying adaptable to changes.

I believe in the importance of open communication when facing disagreements. I’d discuss our perspectives, share data or research backing up my reasoning, and work collaboratively toward a solution that benefits the project. If needed, I’d be open to seeking input from a third party.

When learning a new technology, I start with hands-on practice, followed by studying documentation and resources. I also engage with communities for advice and lessons learned to deepen my understanding quickly and effectively.
