About the Role:

You Will:

• Build with the customer in mind by applying customer context and data to your technical decision-making.

• Contribute to systems that meet availability and latency SLOs for the customer flows where trust matters most.

• Experience building customer-facing experiences with TypeScript and React, or native mobile development (iOS/Android, React Native).
• Proficiency in one or more modern backend languages such as Java, Kotlin, Go, or Python, with a record of delivering production-quality code.
• Experience contributing to distributed, large-scale systems with a working understanding of service-oriented architecture.

• Bonus: Experience in FinTech, payments, or other regulated industries where reliability, security, and compliance shape engineering decisions.
