This isn't your simple, run-of-the-mill, boring system. This is a system with an interesting mix of design challenges such as eventual consistency, messaging, concurrency, network resiliency, data replication, load/demand prediction, observability engineering, build/deployment optimization, and AI.

* Design and implement concise, modular, cohesive, frontend and backend services in a distributed system context that are resilient, efficient, and reliable.
* Ensure automated tests and test frameworks are highly effective in terms of software quality, refactor flexibility, and integration/delivery speed.
* Concurrent and asynchronous software design/development.
* Advanced asynchronous and resilient network communications design and implementation.
* Design, refactor, implement, or work within micro-frontend SPA(s).
* Judiciously leverage AI, ML, and vector databases in both software development workflows and product feature development.
* Decompose/distill complex software components along appropriate boundaries.
* Development on/of complex, but potentially irreducible algorithms or combinatorials.
* When apparently irreducible problems are encountered and they resist beneficial decomposition (np-ness), find ways to simplify through approximation theory and quantization.
* Extensively use all aspects of observability systems: instrumentation of code, well-designed queries, dashboards, alerts, and distributed traces.
* Maintain awareness of production system performance, errors, and code usage.
* O11y data driven optimization of latency, compute, memory, storage, and network traffic.
* Communicate with clarity using O11y screens, PRs, POCs, diagrams, documentation, and presentations to other developers, dev teams, SREs, and management.
* Optimization of local/cloud build, deployment, and IaC provisioning pipelines.
* Rigorous analysis of escaped defects to determine corrective actions with depth of insight.
* Design and develop defensively to maintain or increase security going beyond OWASP and zero trust patterns by truly understanding the area of the system being worked on.
* Rigorous and proficient review and clear feedback on pull requests by team members.
* Maintain awareness of current relevant technologies, techniques, and tooling.
* Build software with people. Product managers, other developers, SREs, junior engineers, senior engineers, and offshore. Construct software that matters!
* Constantly address technical debt. Shine a light on it, even when it hurts.
* Participate in the planning of technical engineering roadmaps.
* Plan, lead, or manage projects when called upon to do so while remaining hands on.

* Commitment to your software development, the products you work on, and the firm.
* 6-15+ years of experience working in full stack distributed systems.
* Experience meeting secure coding standards and willing to participate in financial systems security practices.
* Ability to explain complex topics to managers/directors, program/product managers
