About the job

About Tala

Tala is at the forefront of innovation, leveraging cutting-edge technology and human ingenuity to tackle the challenges that traditional financial institutions often overlook. We are a global financial infrastructure firm dedicated to empowering the economic potential of the global majority, acknowledging that the current financial systems fail to serve a significant portion of the world's population.

We uniquely integrate the analytical prowess of a credit bureau, the payment processing capabilities of a fintech, and the relational insights of a banking institution into a comprehensive solution. Our platform benefits from a robust foundation of proprietary data and advanced AI/ML technologies that allow us to provide instant, reliable liquidity tailored to the specific needs of each customer. To date, our flagship credit application has successfully disbursed over $7 billion in credit to more than 12 million clients across Latin America, Southeast Asia, and East Africa, enabling them to launch and grow small businesses, manage everyday financial needs, and achieve their financial aspirations.

Our groundbreaking initiatives and tangible impact have garnered us numerous accolades, including recognition in:

CNBC’s Disruptor 50 for five consecutive years.
CNBC’s World's Top Fintech Companies for two consecutive years.
Forbes’ Fintech 50 list for nine consecutive years.

Backed by visionary investors who recognize the economic potential of the global majority, Tala has attracted over half a billion dollars in equity and debt commitments to support our mission.

With a globally distributed team, we adopt a remote-first approach, with office hubs located in Santa Monica, CA (HQ); Nairobi, Kenya; Mexico City, Mexico; Manila, Philippines; and Bangalore, India.

At Tala, we seek individuals who resonate with our mission. If you are motivated by the opportunity to make a meaningful impact, we want to connect with you!

The Role
As a Senior Backend Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in developing and enhancing Tala’s backend architecture to facilitate new country expansions, product launches, and an expanding user base. You will lead your team in building a microservices platform that is highly available, scalable, reliable, fault-tolerant, and performant. Additionally, you will uphold and refine Tala’s engineering standards and practices while aligning with our overarching mission and business goals.
