Backend Engineer — Payments, Trust & Distributed Systems

Nigeria Undisclosed
Job Description
Build systems where correctness actually matters

At AnyWorky, we’re building an on-demand services marketplace where:

• Money moves between customers and providers

• Trust decisions impact real people

• Reliability isn’t optional

This is not a typical CRUD backend role — you’ll work on systems where edge cases, failure modes, and correctness are the job.
What You’ll Work On

You’ll help build and scale the core backend systems that power:
💳 Payments & Financial Flows

Payment processing and lifecycle management

Refunds, disputes, and reconciliation

Provider payouts and balance tracking

Ledgering and financial correctness

🛡️ Trust, Risk & Verification
Background check and identity verification flows

Risk signals and fraud detection

Compliance gating (who can operate and earn)

Systems that ensure trust without blocking good users

⚡ Real-Time Decisioning

Matching customers with the right providers

Availability and eligibility logic

Handling real-time updates and state transitions
🔁 Distributed Systems & Integrations

Event-driven workflows and async processing

External integrations (payments, verification, notifications)

Resilient communication between services

Handling unreliable systems with retries, timeouts, and fallbacks
📊 Observability & Reliability

Instrumentation, metrics, and tracing

Debugging production issues end-to-end

Building systems that are observable, testable, and resilient

Tech Environment

We use a modern backend stack with:

• Node.js and Go

• APIs and event-driven patterns

• Databases, caching, and queues

• Cloud-native infrastructure

(Exact tools matter less than how you think.)
What We’re Looking For

You’re a backend engineer who:

• Thinks in failure modes, edge cases, and system behavior

• Has worked on systems involving:

• payments

• transactions

• or real-world consequences

Is comfortable building and debugging distributed systems
Understands idempotency, consistency, and data integrity
Has experience integrating with external APIs

Has operated systems in production (on-call, debugging, monitoring)
