Full Job Description
## Description About Wahed: The global financial system wasn't built for everyone. For millions of people, its reliance on interest (riba) creates a barrier to managing money and building wealth without compromising their values. At Wahed, we're changing that.

From our offices across the globe, our team is building products that were once deemed impossible, from pioneering Shariah-compliant equity ETFs, creating true riba-free alternatives to high yield savings accounts, to creating no-leverage real estate investments for truly interest-free income producing assets.

We are looking for candidates that are self-motivated and eager to learn new technologies, work well both within a team and on their own, and have an attention to detail. ## Job Description Work closely with product managers and engineers to build backend solutions Swiftly tackle defects and solve them for good, reducing tech debt along the way Proactively make improvements to the backend and data systems architecture in terms of robustness, security and performance Leverage APIs for integrations with other platforms Contribute to automated testing efforts and increasing t
