## About Attain

As part of this team, you’ll help design, build, and scale the systems that underpin Klover’s core products and platform.

The work you do will directly shape how users interact with Klover’s products, access their money, and experience transparent, low-fee financial services.

Klover engineers collaborate closely with colleagues across backend, frontend, data science, and product teams to deliver scalable, high-quality solutions for a rapidly growing user base. You’ll have the opportunity to work with modern technologies and architectures while helping define and evolve the next generation of inclusive, data-powered financial products—building systems and interfaces that emphasize reliability, privacy, and performance at scale.

- You have a willingness to learn and teach in a collaborative environment
- You’re eager to leverage and develop using AI tools
- You’ve been complimented on how well you participate in an open feedback environment

What your day to day will look like

- Build and evolve microservices that handle high-volume financial and transactional data
- Design and implement APIs that securely connect to third-party payment processors, banks, and fintech partners
- Write thoughtful & quality code that is readable, testable, and easily maintainable
- Develop data-driven services that power account management, transaction history, and financial insights
- Strive for excellent development practices and careful code architecture that is built around rapid releases
- Work cross-functionally with backend, mobile, and product teams to consistently release high-quality, customer-focused financial features
- Adhere to, and improve upon, our agile process through requirement documents, sprint retrospectives, and other regular cadence meetings

## Preferred Qualifications

- 5+ years of experience building backend services in production environments

- Experience using gRPC, protobuf, or GraphQL
- Expert knowledge of SQL and experience designing data models for financial data integrity
