We are trusted by 300+ million people in 100+ countries for our industry-leading security, user fund transparency, trading engine speed, deep liquidity, and an unmatched portfolio of digital-asset products. Binance offerings range from trading and finance to education, research, payments, institutional services, Web3 features, and more. We leverage the power of digital assets and blockchain to build an inclusive financial ecosystem to advance the freedom of money and improve financial access for people around the world.

Build high-concurrency transaction processing systems capable of handling large-scale C2C order flows
Develop seller/buyer workflow systems including listing management, order lifecycle, and payment confirmation
Integrate with payment channels and internal systems for fund locking and release
Ensure system reliability, idempotency, and consistency across the full transaction lifecycle
Participate in architecture design, code reviews, and cross-team technical collaboration
Requirements
3–5 years of Java backend development experience
Proficiency in Spring Boot, MyBatis, and distributed system components (Redis, MQ, MySQL)
Experience building e-commerce, C2C marketplace, or trading platform backends
Understanding of order lifecycle management, escrow/fund-hold mechanisms, and dispute workflows
English communication skills
Experience at C2C/e-commerce companies is a strong plus
