Backend Team Lead
Our Mission Neema is all about impact - how often do you get the chance to affect the lives of others, across the globe? Our vision is simple: let everyone enjoy financial freedom, regardless of their banking status, credit score, or other obsolete metrics. At Neema, we’re building a global payments platform that’s better than a bank - serving both businesses and individuals. On one side, we power fintechs and enterprises with a robust API based cross-border infrastructure. On the other, we deliver advanced financial services directly to 100’s of thousands of users every month, through our own NeoBank application. Our proprietary patent pending Dynamic Routing® technology sits at the core, enabling local-like, real-time cross-border payments across 150+ countries and 50+ currencies - reliably, transparently, and at scale. From multi-currency accounts and international Mastercards to complex B2B payment orchestration, we move money where it’s needed, when it’s needed - even in the hardest-to-reach destinations. We believe stability is the foundation of every payment, and combining it with cutting-edge innovation is how we scale globally. Both products are deeply interconnected, yet serve very different audiences - and your job will be to make them feel seamless. Responsibilities: As a Backend Team Leader, you will lead one of our backend teams and work closely with product, finance marketing, CS and other teams. You will lead the team professionally, mentor them, and ensure everyone fulfills their full potential. You will add new capabilities and solve complex issues, always keeping scale in mind. Scale, accuracy and reliability help us make sure that our proprietary banking core, that supports millions of transactions with volumes topping 1bn yearly, is always up-and-running. We’re looking for: ● Team player. Rockstar without the ego. Fast learner that work hard and get S*** done. ● Excellent interpersonal skills, humanity and proven leadership skills in an agile and dynamic environment. ● BSc in Computer Science or equivalent is a MUST. ● 7+ Years of software development experience. ● At least two years of experience managing people. ● Java experience. ● Experience in working on large scale backend projects, and a deep understanding of microservices architecture, cloud environments, performance and more. ● MySQL and cloud platforms (esp AWS) knowledge is a big advantage.
