Job Title: Software Engineer (Java_Spring Boot)

Location: Nigeria

About the Role

  • We're hiring a Mid-Level Java, Spring Boot Engineer to work on the core backend systems that power how customers trade, move money, and interact with the Quidax platform.
  • . It's a great role for an engineer who's ready to go deeper, take real ownership, and grow fast in a fintech environment.
  • You'll join a team working on the flows that matter most: APIs, integrations, transaction processing, and the reliability of systems that real customers depend on every day

What You’ll Be Owning
Learn & Contribute:

  • By month 6: Independently investigate and resolve reliability issues across deposits, withdrawals, and partner callbacks.
  • By month 3: Own specific features or flows end to end, with support from the team where needed.
  • First 30 days: Get across the RAMP codebase, understand the core flows, and ship your first meaningful fix.

Reliability & Code Quality:

  • Reduce recurring issues: stuck transactions, failed callbacks, unclear states, and manual escalations.
  • Add observability where it's weak: better logging, alerts, and debugging hooks.
  • Improve test coverage across critical flows and leave every area you touch cleaner than you found it.

Team & Growth:

  • Participate in code reviews, share what you learn, and support engineers around you.
  • Grow your understanding of transaction-heavy systems: idempotency, retries, state machines, and reconciliation.

Biggest Challenges You’ll Tackle:

  • Debugging complex, transaction-heavy flows that aren't always well documented.
  • Working on backend systems where failures have real customer impact.
  • Balancing new feature work with improving the stability of existing systems.
  • Learning fintech and crypto infrastructure concepts on the job and applying them quickly.

What We’re Looking For
Must-haves:

  • Bonus: Experience in fintech, payments, crypto, or on-ramp/off-ramp products.
  • You improve code incrementally without defaulting to a full rewrite.
  • Methodical debugger: you trace flows, read logs, and find the real root cause.
  • 3 to 5 years of Rails backend experience in production environments.
  • You write clean code, debug with patience, and care about how your work affects real users.
  • Comfortable with APIs, background jobs, database design, testing, and debugging.

Nice to haves:

  • Experience working in a remote startup environment.
  • Any exposure to crypto exchanges, payment providers, or bank integrations.
  • Familiarity with transaction concepts: idempotency, retries, reconciliation, state machines.

Reporting Line:

  • You'll report to the RAMP Engineering Manager and work closely with the RAMP Product Manager on priorities, user problems, and what gets built next.
  • Day to day, you'll collaborate with design, compliance, operations, support, and finance, as well as external partners.
