Job Description

Hey everyone, I’m a backend engineer with almost 4 years of experience in fintech, currently working on lending systems. I’ve been trying to move into a remote role, but haven’t had much success so far. Quick context: Tech stack: Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, PostgreSQL, AWS Work involves distributed systems, loan lifecycle workflows, and real-time processing. Some things I’ve worked on: \- Migrated loan systems from a legacy core banking system to an in-house LMS \- Built a recommendation system that had a measurable revenue impact (\~₹6 Cr/month) \- Designed async workflows for financial jobs like interest posting, NPA marking, etc. \- I’ve applied to 100+ remote roles (LinkedIn, Wellfound, company sites), but I’m barely getting responses. At this point, I’m trying to understand what I might be missing. Is my profile not strong enough for remote roles yet? Do companies expect more public work (open source, writing, etc.)? Or is this mostly about applying/referrals strategy? Would really appreciate any advice from people who’ve managed to switch to remote roles. Happy to share my resume if anyone’s open to taking a look
