Senior Software Engineer

About the job

This is a fully remote job, open to people in Turkey.

At Midas, we are solving real-world engineering problems to transform how millions of people interact with money.

We're transforming investing in Turkey — creating a seamless experience for everyday investors on one end, and building powerful tools for advanced traders on the other.

Today, over 4 million users trust Midas with their investments. Backed by an $80M Series B — the largest fintech investment in Turkey — we are scaling faster than ever.

More importantly, we are building mission-critical financial systems where reliability, performance, and correctness are non-negotiable.

What You’ll Do

• Design and develop high-volume, low-latency systems running 24/7 with zero downtime, impacting real users and real money
• Own the full lifecycle-from design to production-while ensuring clear and effective communication across teams
• Take ownership of large, complex systems, ensuring resiliency and reliability from prevention to rapid recovery
• Collaborate closely with product and business teams as a product-minded engineer
• Actively contribute to a culture of clear, frequent, and effective communication across teams
• Write clean, testable, and maintainable code with a strong focus on production quality
• Make and contribute to pragmatic architectural decisions, balancing real-world trade-offs
• Continuously improve systems with a focus on observability, maintainability, and operational excellence
• Support and mentor other engineers through technical guidance, feedback, and knowledge sharing
• Leverage modern tools, including AI-assisted development, to improve productivity while maintaining high quality standards
• What You’ll Bring
• Strong software development experience with a solid engineering foundation
• Experience designing and building scalable and reliable systems
• Good understanding of distributed systems, concurrency, and data consistency challenges
• Experience working with transactional systems and critical data flows
• Familiarity with event-driven and asynchronous architectures
• Understanding of monitoring, alerting, and production systems
• Ability to think in trade-offs, not just ideal solutions
• Comfort operating in high-ambiguity environments and turning unclear problems into concrete solutions
• A mindset of ownership, accountability, and delivering outcomes
• Strong communication skills, able to articulate decisions, align stakeholders, and drive clarity
• Willingness to mentor and elevate the team, not just contribute individually
• Ability to effectively use AI tools as a productivity multiplier, while maintaining engineering rigor
• Why Join Us? Play to Win, Build with the Best We operate with a strong bias for winning — setting ambitious goals and delivering against them. You'll work with high-caliber engineers who take ownership seriously, move fast, and focus on outcomes. We value people who can turn complex problems into shipped solutions, especially under time and ambiguity constraints. High standards are the norm — both in terms of technical quality and delivery. Dare to Disrupt We don't believe in incrementally improving broken systems — we challenge assumptions and rebuild them when necessary. At Midas, this means making non-obvious decisions, taking calculated risks, and choosing better long-term solutions over short-term convenience. Ownership & Flexibility We provide flexibility in how and where you work. What matters most is taking ownership, communicating clearly, and consistently delivering results. Scale & Growth With millions of users and rapidly increasing traffic, you'll continuously face scaling challenges — both technical and organizational. Modern Engineering Approach We encourage engineers to leverage modern tools, including AI-assisted development, to move faster and solve problems more effectively — without compromising quality.
