About this role
Senior Software Engineer - Paasa
Paasa is building the first-of-its-kind global equities trading platform from India, for Indians across the globe. We’re backed by YC and top Silicon Valley angels.
Our founders previously led engineering at SoFi and INDmoney, and saw how broken global investing was for Indians - from opaque FX spreads to fragmented tax, remittance, and trading infrastructure. We’re building the system to fix that.
What you’ll build
You’ll own core product and infra end-to-end across:
Trading systems and order flows
Real-time market data and order-book visualizations
Portfolio, reporting, and tax tools
Ledger, reconciliation, and money movement systems
Scalable APIs across brokerage, banking, and clearing partners
First 90 days
In your first month, you’ll own a live integration with our US clearing partner and ship production features like real-time order-book visualization.
By 90 days, you should be owning critical parts of our trading engine, helping us scale toward $10M+ in daily transaction volume with low-latency, reliable infrastructure.
Stack
TypeScript, React Native, Node.js, Postgres, cloud infra.
You
3-6 years of engineering experience
Strong product sense and ability to ship fast
Comfortable owning systems from architecture to production
Experience with fintech, trading, ledgers, payments, or real-time systems is a strong plus
Bonus: idempotent APIs, reconciliation systems, sub-second data streaming, broker integrations
Why Paasa
Small core team. High ownership. Real financial infrastructure. YC-backed. Huge market.
You’ll be building the rails for how Indians invest globally.
