[Hiring] Java Backend Engineer @Binance

Role Description

• Design, build, and maintain backend services and RESTful APIs powering compliance and analytics products
• Own features end to end, from technical design through deployment and monitoring
• Build data pipelines that ingest, normalise, and index on-chain activity across multiple blockchains
• Contribute to the architecture of new compliance capabilities — you'll be in the room where the approach gets decided, not handed the outcome
• Model data and optimise queries against relational and NoSQL stores at scale
• Work directly with compliance and product specialists to translate regulatory requirements into technical design
• Improve reliability, observability, and performance of services already in production
• Use AI-assisted development tooling as part of your normal workflow to raise output quality and speed

Qualifications

• 3+ years building production backend systems in Java
• Strong command of Spring Boot, JVM fundamentals, concurrency, and memory behaviour
• Solid SQL and data modelling; practical experience diagnosing slow queries
• Experience designing and operating web-facing services at scale — request handling, caching, rate limiting, idempotency
• Working proficiency in both Chinese and English, spoken and written
• Fluent, daily use of AI coding agents such as Claude Code or Codex, with a clear view of where they help and where they need supervision
• Comfortable owning code you did not write, and reading unfamiliar codebases quickly
• Genuine interest in the problem space — compliance products reward engineers who care why a rule exists, not only what it says

Requirements

• A self-starting, exploratory mindset — you investigate problems before being asked to, and you go looking for the answer rather than waiting for a ticket
• A willingness to contribute to how the industry develops, and to speak up with constructive proposals when you see a better way — we want engineers who challenge the design, not only implement it
• AWS in production: ECS/EKS, RDS, S3, SQS, IAM, CloudWatch
• Blockchain or crypto exposure — node RPC integration, on-chain data indexing, wallet or transaction infrastructure
• Kafka or similar streaming platforms
• Prior work in a regulated environment: financial services, payments, AML/KYC, or RegTech
• Familiarity with FATF Travel Rule, sanctions screening, or transaction monitoring concepts

Benefits

• Shape the future of finance
• Collaborate with world-class talent in a user-centric global organization with a flat structure
• Tackle challenging projects in a fast-paced and innovative environment with autonomy
• Thrive in a results-driven workplace with opportunities for career growth and continuous learning
• Competitive salary and company benefits
• Remote-first, work-from-home arrangement (may vary depending on the nature of the role and team)
