Summary
Brandon Bachynski is a senior software engineer with nearly a decade of experience building high-throughput payment infrastructure and distributed systems, with deep fintech roots where correctness and reliability are non-negotiable. He has designed and shipped production event-driven services that handled over a billion dollars in monthly transactions, extracted critical services from monoliths to add operational flexibility, and built resilient webhook ingestion and queueing systems under high concurrency. Technically versatile across TypeScript/Node.js, Elixir, and increasingly Go, he pairs hands-on implementation with strong opinions on message queue design and failure-tolerant financial workflows. Comfortable in startups and distributed teams, he also mentors engineers and drives architectural decisions that improve observability and operational safety. Based in Calgary and open to UK/Europe opportunities, he focuses on payment infrastructure and platform engineering roles solving hard scaling and correctness problems.
