• Contribute to architectural decisions and long-term technical direction

Qualifications

• 5+ years of software engineering experience
• Experience building and operating production-grade applications
• Strong backend fundamentals and experience designing APIs and distributed systems
• Experience working across the stack, including building user-facing features
• Strong debugging and problem-solving ability
• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure and modern deployment workflows
• Experience building scalable, reliable systems in production environments
• Experience working in early-stage startup environments
• Comfortable owning ambiguous, high-impact problems from concept through implementation
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across teams

Nice to Have

• Experience building internal tools or developer platforms

• Experience working on systems with high availability or performance requirements
• Exposure to AI-driven products, data platforms, or document-based workflows
• Experience engineering in financial services or fintech environments
