You Have - A minimum of 8 years of related experience with a Bachelor's degree; or 6 years and a Master's degree; or a PhD with 3 years experience; or equivalent experience. - Experience designing and operating distributed, high-throughput, fault-tolerant services, with a strong understanding of consistency, idempotency, and failure handling. - Experience building money-movement systems such as ledgers, double-entry accounting, settlement, or treasury, or the curiosity and drive to build deep expertise in the domain. - Proficiency in at least one major programming language (for example Java, Kotlin, or Go) and strong SQL. - Experience leading complex, ambiguous projects across multiple engineering teams and driving clear next steps in areas without clear ownership. - High standards for software architecture and engineering practices, including maintainable and testable code, CI/CD, and observability, in a complex, high-stakes financial environment. - Proficiency in using AI tools throughout the software development lifecycle to improve engineering productivity, problem solving, and software delivery. - Strong written and verbal communication skills.
