Role Description As a Forward Deployment Engineer at YLD, you'll embed with a banking client during a proof-of-value or implementation, turning their product requirements into working configuration on the client's platform. You'll sit between the client's regulated banking requirements and their live services, prove your work with captured evidence, and feed any platform friction back to the core engineering team. Your day-to-day responsibilities can look like this: - Turn client requirements into transaction rules, event-driven workflows, and configuration on the client's platform; - Capture before/after evidence of your work so it can be reviewed and replayed by teammates or the client; - Work closely with client teams in collaborative working sessions, explaining technical decisions and translating complex engineering concepts clearly; - Investigate unfamiliar API contracts and client tooling independently to get integrations working; - Debug issues that live in the client's platform rather than your own code, and file clean reproductions back to core engineering; - Actively leverage AI-powered tools and workflows to accelerate development, improve code quality, and drive engineering best practices. Qualifications - Hands-on Python at minimum; Go is a nice-to-have; - Experience with rules engines, workflow orchestration, or event-driven systems (CEL, Temporal, or similar); - Familiarity with Kafka or similar event streaming platforms; - Experience in fintech, core banking, or regulated financial services environments; - Prior core-banking or ledger experience; - Comfort working in an AI-assisted or agentic development workflow. Requirements - Domain-fluent: you can talk banking and payments regulation and mechanics without needing a primer; - Proactive: you take ownership and move things forward without waiting to be asked; - A strong communicator: you express technical ideas clearly, in writing and in client-facing conversations, with full professional fluency in English; - Confident presenting: you bring a polished, engaged attitude to working sessions and stakeholder interactions; - Focused on quality: you care about doing things properly and hold yourself to a high standard; - Pragmatic: you make sensible trade-offs and deliver results in ambiguous, fast-moving environments; - A creative problem solver: you approach hard engineering challenges with curiosity and ingenuity; - Collaborative: you thrive on working within cross-functional, distributed teams and value others' input. Benefits - The chance to work with a forward-thinking, ethical, and fun group of people and to develop and grow your skills in a fast-moving business; - Our typical recruitment process: - 1st Interview with a Talent Partner (30/45 mins); - Technical Interview with our Senior Developers (1h30); - Final chat with our Client Partner (30/45 mins); - Get a glimpse of what it's like working at YLD! 🤳 - We live and breathe our values, and know you will too: - Growing every day; - Including everyone; - Relationships built on honesty and ethics; - Inspiring solutions; - Winning together. - We’re an equal-opportunity employer and value diversity in all its forms.
