• Take ownership of projects from scoping through production, managing timelines, dependencies, and communication along the way.
• Embrace and champion the thoughtful adoption of AI to improve team performance and business outcomes.
• Leverage AI tools (e.g., generative AI, automation platforms, data copilots) to improve productivity, decision-making, and output quality in your day-to-day work.

What We’re Looking For

• 7+ years of professional software development experience.
• Solid computer science fundamentals and a proven track record in software design and development.
• Expert-level engineering skills in Java, Scala, Kotlin, C#, or similar (we primarily work in Java).
• Strong database and SQL knowledge.
• In-depth knowledge of object-oriented programming fundamentals.
• Demonstrated ability to work autonomously, manage competing priorities, and drive projects to completion with minimal oversight.
• A strong communicator who builds trust with both technical and non-technical partners - someone comfortable presenting trade-offs, pushing back when needed, and keeping stakeholders aligned.
• Experience collaborating across teams and functions as part of the SDLC.
• Familiarity with the full development lifecycle of a commercial system, including requirements definition, agile planning, production deployment, and production support.

Bonus Points

• Familiarity with AI-driven development tooling.
• Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar messaging system experience.
• Kubernetes, Docker, or other containerization technologies.
• Experience working in finance or fintech.
• Technical understanding of crypto and digital assets.
