KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Architect and design core systems: You are hands-on during implementation, helping service teams bootstrap maintainable, scalable systems and guiding them through technical decisions and trade-offs.
  • Drive resilient, scalable design: You make the hard trade-offs and present them as clear choices, ensuring systems are both robust and future-proof.
  • Turn ambiguity into clarity: Work across teams and functions to align on shared goals, translating unclear ideas into solid technical concepts.
  • Full-stack experience with breadth: You work comfortably across the stack—including infrastructure as code, and have a general understanding of data engineering concepts.
  • Collaborate across the business: Partner with Trading, Legal, Risk, and Ops to deliver thoughtful, well-architected solutions to real-world challenges.
  • Elevate and innovate: Mentor others, set architectural standards, and embrace emerging technologies (including LLMs) to improve workflows and push the boundaries of individual impact.

KEY REQUIREMENTS

  • 10+ years in software development within product-led companies, ideally in fintech or B2B SaaS at scale.
  • Strong in TypeScript for modern frontend development, with solid backend experience in Python and Node.js.
  • Deep hands-on experience with AWS, serverless architectures, and Infrastructure-as-Code (CDK/Terraform)
