  • Mentor and coach engineers at all levels, enabling their growth and helping senior engineers expand their scope of impact.
  • Anticipate and address systemic risks, dependencies, and scalability challenges before they impact delivery.
  • Partner with product and engineering leadership to shape long-term technical vision and execution strategy.
  • Contribute hands-on code when needed, especially in critical or high-stakes parts of the system.

ABOUT YOU

The ideal candidate has exceptionally high ownership, excellent critical thinking skills, and the ability to work with agility in a fast-paced environment. They would also be insanely focused on demonstrating excellence in service delivery and problem-solving, breaking down complex information into understandable and actionable items.

  • Strong background in distributed systems and microservices architecture, with proven experience designing systems for scalability, resilience, and high availability.
  • Strong understanding of secure software design, encryption, and compliance considerations in a fintech context.
  • Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS / Azure / GCP) and containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Experience with automated testing, TDD, CI / CD, and trunk-based development practices.
  • Strong problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to debug and resolve complex software issues.
