Senior Software Engineer - Integrations

Worth is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Integrations Squad and own the systems that connect Worth to the outside world. Our squad builds and operates the third-party data integrations that power Worth's crosswalking and decisioning, the public API and SDKs ourcustomers build against, the customer-side integrations into banks, lenders, processors, and ISVs, and the internal connectors that glue Worth's services together. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who thrives in production code, handles ambiguity with confidence, and raises the technical bar for the team around them. You will design and deliver the integration layer that 700M+ SMB records flow through, break down messy partner APIs and customer requirements into clean technical plans, and anticipate the rate limits, schema drift, partial outages, and data-quality issues that come with depending on dozens of upstream systems. Your impact will extend across the squad and the broader product through both direct contribution and technical leadership.ResponsibilitiesOwn the design and implementation of major integrations and subsystems, from initial partner evaluation through production rollout and ongoing operationBuild and maintain integrations with third-party data providers (KYB, KYC/IDV, AML, fraud, banking, identity) and abstract them behind clean, versioned internal contractsDesign, evolve, and operate Worth's public REST APIs and SDKs, with strong attention to versioning, backward compatibility, authentication, rate limiting, and developer experienceBreak down ambiguous partner specs, customer integration requirements, and vendor edge cases into clear technical designs with well-understood tradeoffsWrite high-quality production code across backend and (where needed) frontend systems using Node.js, TypeScript, Nest.js, and React.jsDesign and evolve PostgreSQL schemas that capture vendor responses, normalization layers, and crosswalking metadata, with strong attention to indexing, performance, and data integrityBuild event-driven workflows with Kafka and Redis that orchestrate enrichment, retries, dead-lettering, and backpressure across slow or flaky upstream APIsOptimize slow queries and resolve systemic performance bottlenecks in high-throughput integration pipelinesDeploy, monitor, and debug containerized integration services in Kubernetes, including the alerting and runbooks that catch vendor degradations before customers doLead pragmatic refactors of legacy or accreted integration code into modular, testable, swappable adaptersHandle production incidents methodically (vendor outages, schema changes, auth rotations, quota exhaustion) and harden the system to reduce recurrenceLead by example in code reviews, coaching others on integration patterns, resilience, testing strategy, and API designCommunicate complex tradeoffs across engineering, product, partnerships, and customer-facing teamsRequirements8+ years of professional software engineering experienceDemonstrated ownership of major features or subsystems in production, ideally with significant integration or platform-API surface areaDeep expertise in the Node.js and TypeScript ecosystemStrong system design skills, especially around resilient integrations: retries, idempotency, circuit breakers, rate limiting, webhook handling, and graceful degradationExperience designing or operating a public API or SDK (versioning, auth, contracts, developer ergonomics)Hands-on experience with PostgreSQL, including schema design and query optimizationExperience building or maintaining event-driven systems using KafkaComfort operating containerized applications in KubernetesProven ability to refactor complex or legacy integration code into modular, swappable, well-tested adaptersDemonstrated experience mentoring junior engineers and raising team quality standardsAbility to operate effectively in high-ambiguity environments, including partner specs that are incomplete, contradictory, or change underneath youSuccess MetricsNew vendor and customer integrations ship reliably and on schedule, with clear rollout, monitoring, and rollback plansExisting integrations meet defined performance and reliability targets (P90/P99 latency, success rate, uptime, MTTR)The public API surface stays consistent, versioned, and easy for customers to build against; Code quality and maintainability measurably improve within the integration layer;Squad delivery velocity improves due to clearer technical direction and stronger executionBonus PointsDirect experience integrating with KYB, KYC/IDV, AML, fraud, banking, or identity data providers Experience building and shipping a public SDK in one or more languagesExperience with AWS services including MSK, RDS, EKS, S3, and LambdaExperience with Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as TerraformStrong background in distributed caching strategies using Redis (response caching, dedup, rate limiting)Experience with Redshift schema design and ETL pipelines for vendor dataProduction experience with Python in backend systemsBackground in fintech, payments, lending, or regulated data environmentsBenefitsHealth Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)Retirement Plan (401k, IRA)Life Insurance Flexible Paid Time Off 9 paid Holidays Family Leave RemoteHybrid work (for Orlando Associates)Free Food & Snacks (Orlando)Wellness Resources
