About KYP
KYP builds real-time risk intelligence for financial institutions. Our platform delivers live risk scores and alerts using consortium data, enabling customers to proactively manage financial, regulatory, and reputational risk.
We’re an award-winning, VC-backed FinTech / RegTech startup, growing fast and trusted by regulated organisations. Engineering quality is at the core of everything we do - we value clean design, strong ownership, and systems that scale.
The Opportunity
We’re looking for a Go Backend Engineer who wants to level up into a senior engineer over the next 12–24 months.
You’ll work on mission-critical, data-intensive systems and be trusted with real ownership from day one. This is not a “ticket-factory” role, you’ll be involved in design decisions, architecture discussions, and performance optimisation, with direct exposure to the CTO and senior engineers.
If you enjoy solving complex backend problems, learning modern cloud-native architecture, and want a clear path toward senior responsibility, this role is for you.
Responsibilities
Tech Stack
Backend:
Golang (primary), Node.js, Python
Frontend:
React
Databases:
MongoDB, MS SQL (Neo4j is a plus)
Cloud:
Azure
Infrastructure:
Docker, Kubernetes, microservices architecture
Tools:
Git, Jira, Confluence, Slack
What We’re Looking For
You don’t need to tick every box. We care about strong fundamentals and a growth mindset.
