Job Title: Senior Backend Engineer – Internal Platforms (Compliance & Risk)

Location: Mexico

Employment Type: Full Time

About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to build internal platforms that power how our business manages risk, compliance, and critical operational workflows.

This is a high-impact role where you’ll design and build systems that help the company make safe, compliant, and auditable decisions at scale — from vendor risk and trade compliance to approvals, reporting, and integrations.

If you enjoy building internal tools, workflow systems, and data-driven platforms, and want to work on problems that sit at the intersection of engineering, security, and business operations, this role is for you.

What You’ll Work On

Build Internal Platforms

• Design and develop backend services and APIs for internal business applications
• Build workflow systems for approvals, risk decisions, and operational processes
• Create dashboards and reporting tools for business and technical teams
• Own projects end-to-end: from design to deployment and support

Compliance & Risk Systems (GRC)

• Build systems to track vendor risk, controls, and compliance evidence
• Develop risk scoring, exception handling, and remediation workflows
• Support audit readiness through structured data and reporting

Trade Compliance & Decision Systems

• Develop services to evaluate transaction risk (e.g., sanctions, country restrictions)
• Build configurable rules engines for compliance logic and approvals
• Ensure full traceability of decisions, rules, and system activity

Integrations & Data

• Integrate with platforms like Salesforce, identity systems (SSO), and third-party APIs
• Build data pipelines and services that support reporting and operational insights

Security & Reliability

• Implement secure authentication and authorization (RBAC, SSO, MFA)
• Ensure systems are auditable, reliable, and designed with privacy in mind
• Follow best practices for secure software development

What We’re Looking For

Must Have

• 5+ years of experience building backend systems and APIs
• Strong programming skills in C#, C#.NET or Python or C++
• Experience designing scalable services and working with databases
• Experience building internal tools, workflows, or business applications
• Solid understanding of authentication/authorization (SSO, RBAC, etc.)

Nice to Have

• Experience with compliance, risk, or security-related systems
• Familiarity with audit logging, reporting, or workflow engines
• Experience integrating with platforms like Salesforce
• Exposure to compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, etc.)

How You’ll Work

• Partner with Legal/Compliance teams to translate requirements into systems
• Collaborate with IT and Security teams on architecture and best practices
• Work cross-functionally with business teams to improve internal processes

Why This Role Matters

You’ll be building systems that directly impact how the company:

• Manages risk and compliance
• Reduces manual work through automation
• Improves visibility and decision-making

This is an opportunity to own critical internal platforms and solve meaningful problems beyond typical product engineering.
