Role: Senior Software Engineer

Location: Remote / Hybrid
ABOUT SHIPFINEX:
Shipfinex is building the future of maritime finance through blockchain-powered tokenization. We
are a fast-paced, innovation-driven startup where engineers take ownership of meaningful
problems and ship real impact. Our technology stack powers a platform that connects global
investors with maritime assets—and we’re looking for talented engineers to help us scale.
THE ROLE:
As a Senior Software Engineer at Shipfinex, you will take independent ownership of features and
subsystems, design and build scalable solutions, and play a key role in shaping the technical
direction of our platform. You will work across the full stack—React on the frontend, NestJS on the
backend, and MongoDB as the primary data store—while collaborating closely with product,
design, and infrastructure teams. We’re looking for someone who thrives in ambiguity, makes
sound architectural decisions, and raises the bar for everyone around them.
WHAT YOU’LL DO:
• Design, develop, and maintain scalable web applications using React (frontend), NestJS
(backend), and MongoDB.
• Own features end-to-end—from requirements clarification through architecture,
implementation, testing, and deployment.
• Write production-grade, well-tested, and maintainable code that meets high standards of
quality and reliability.
• Participate in system design discussions, evaluate architectural trade-offs, and propose
solutions for complex technical challenges.
• Proactively clarify ambiguous requirements and identify technical risks early in the
development cycle.
• Mentor junior engineers through code reviews, pair programming, and knowledge sharing.
• Collaborate with QA and DevOps teams to ensure reliable releases, robust test coverage, and
smooth CI/CD pipeline operations.
• Contribute to improving engineering processes, development workflows, and coding standards
across the team.
• Partner with Product and Business stakeholders to translate requirements into well-architected
technical solutions.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:
• 3–5 years of professional software engineering experience in a product-driven environment.
• Strong proficiency in React.js, including hooks, component architecture, state management
(Redux, Zustand, or Context API), and performance optimization.
• Solid backend experience with NestJS or similar Node.js frameworks, including RESTful API
design, middleware, authentication, and authorization patterns.
• Hands-on experience with MongoDB, including schema design, aggregation pipelines,
indexing strategies, and data modelling for production workloads.
• Proficiency in TypeScript across both frontend and backend codebases.
• Experience writing and maintaining unit, integration, and end-to-end tests.
• Strong understanding of Git-based workflows, code review practices, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Ability to independently design components, modules, and APIs given a set of product
requirements.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to articulate technical concepts to both technical
and non-technical audiences.
NICE TO HAVE:
• Experience with blockchain technologies, Web3, smart contracts, or tokenization platforms.
• Familiarity with message queues (RabbitMQ, Kafka) and event-driven architectures.
• Experience with containerization and orchestration tools such as Docker and Kubernetes.
• Understanding of cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and infrastructure-as-code practices.
• Exposure to GraphQL, WebSockets, or real-time communication protocols.
• Experience with monitoring and observability tools such as Datadog, Prometheus, or Grafana.
WHY SHIPFINEX:
• Work at the intersection of fintech, maritime, and blockchain—a unique and high-growth
domain.
• High-ownership engineering culture where your work has direct, visible impact on the product.
• Competitive compensation with equity participation (stock options / token grants).
• Flexible working arrangements with a remote-friendly culture.
• Learning and development support for conferences, courses, and certifications.
• A collaborative, low-ego team that values technical excellence and continuous improvement.
