Intellibus designs and engineers platforms trusted by some of the most established FinTech and financial trading firms in the world. Our engineering teams build systems that power high-volume trading, real-time financial data, and mission-critical infrastructure. We expect our engineers to operate at a level where technical depth, sound judgment, and clear communication all carry weight — the problems are complex, the systems are production-critical, and the people you work with will hold you to a high standard. The Staff Engineer Role We are hiring a Staff Engineer to design, build, and own full-stack systems powering financial platforms — from frontend architecture to backend services to distributed event-driven infrastructure. This is not a role where you pick up tickets and ship features. You will be expected to think end-to-end: to understand the business problem, design the system, make the trade-offs, and deliver production-grade software that performs reliably under heavy load. You will work directly with senior stakeholders across technical and non-technical functions, often navigating competing priorities, ambiguity, and high-pressure timelines. The ability to communicate clearly, manage complexity across people and systems, and maintain a high quality bar when things get difficult is essential. If you have built and shipped systems that mattered — at a startup, at a large company, or somewhere in between — and you are looking for a role where you will be challenged technically while also growing your ability to operate in complex, high-stakes environments, we want to hear from you. What You Will Do Frontend Architecture • Build scalable frontend platforms using React, Next.js, and TypeScript., • Design modern UI architectures: server-side rendering, component-driven design, performance optimization, and state management patterns., • Develop reusable component systems and scalable frontend frameworks. Backend Engineering • Build backend services using Node.js and NestJS., • Design and implement REST APIs, microservices, asynchronous workflows, and high-performance data processing systems., • Work with SQL and NoSQL databases using TypeORM, and optimize for throughput and reliability. Event-Driven & Distributed Systems • Design distributed systems built on event-driven architecture using Kafka, Azure Service Bus, Azure Event Grid, and messaging/queue systems., • Build services that process high-volume financial events and real-time trading data. Cloud & Infrastructure • Deploy and operate systems on Microsoft Azure, including Azure App Services, Azure Data Fabric, messaging platforms, Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and Linux environments., • Design infrastructure that supports resilient, scalable distributed systems. What Sets You Apart We are looking for engineers who demonstrate several of the following: • You have designed and operated event-driven distributed systems that process high-volume real-time data., • You have a deep understanding of algorithms, data structures, and time complexity — and you apply that understanding to build systems, not just pass interviews., • You have built full-stack platforms using React/Next.js and Node.js/NestJS that run reliably in production., • You have hands-on experience with message queues, streaming platforms, and asynchronous workflows — Kafka, Azure Service Bus, BullMQ, or similar., • You reason clearly about system trade-offs: latency vs. throughput, consistency vs. availability, speed vs. reliability., • You have operated systems in cloud environments like Microsoft Azure, including debugging production incidents and improving performance under pressure., • You design systems end-to-end and take ownership of architecture and production outcomes — not just the code you wrote., • You have mentored other engineers and contributed to architecture reviews, engineering standards, and technical decision-making., • You communicate well under pressure. You can hold your ground in a room full of stakeholders, explain a technical decision to a non-technical audience, and navigate situations where the right path forward is not obvious. Technology Ecosystem Frontend: React, Next.js, TypeScript, JavaScript, TailwindCSS, HTML5, CSS3. Backend: Node.js, NestJS, REST APIs, Microservices, BullMQ, TypeORM. Event-Driven: Kafka, Azure Service Bus, Azure Event Grid. Infrastructure: Microsoft Azure, Azure Data Fabric, Docker, CI/CD, Infrastructure-as-Code, Linux. Data: SQL, NoSQL, Azure Data Fabric. Our Process • 15-minute video call with someone from our team., • 4 Proctored GQ Tests (under 2 hours)., • 30–45 minute final video interview., • Job offer. If this sounds like the kind of work you want to be doing, apply now. Our team will be in touch within the hour.
