> Backend Engineer | Revenue-Critical Systems | Compliance-Heavy SaaS & Fintech

Location: Austin, Texas, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/fariba

Senior software engineer with 8+ years of experience owning backend systems from design through production reliability.

I build systems with engineering rigor and long-term quality in mind. My work has supported revenue-critical fintech products and compliance-sensitive SaaS platforms, where mistakes have real consequences.

Testing, maintainability, and observability are integral to my process. I care about building systems that are easy to reason about, adaptable to future changes, and understandable by the next engineer (or AI agent) who touches them.

While much of my recent experience has been in Node.js and TypeScript, I’m motivated by strong architecture over specific languages and am open to working across different stacks.

I’m particularly drawn to teams where engineering quality is taken seriously and where software meaningfully impacts people’s lives.
