Their intelligent automation platform powers real‑time, autonomous software agents that streamline operations for community banks and credit unions across the U.S. Think fewer manual tasks, faster service, and better customer experiences—all made possible through cutting‑edge tech and a small but mighty team of builders.

They’re not interested in building faster horses—they’re building the rocket.

• 💥 Big impact – Join a core team where your code directly affects users and outcomes.
• 🔧 Hands‑on autonomy – You’ll own projects end‑to‑end and help shape system architecture from the ground up.
• 🧠 Smart, no‑fluff culture – Work with a team that values clarity, extreme ownership, and fast iteration.
• 💡 Mission‑driven – Build tools that help community banks compete in a world of megafintech.
• 🚀 Startup agility – Ship daily. Influence product. Leave a legacy.

We’re hiring a Senior Software Engineer to help design, build, and scale intelligent software agents that drive automation across our Ruby and AWS‑based platform. You’ll work closely with leadership, product, and customer‑facing teams to build core systems that power real‑time document workflows, automation triggers, and integrations that help financial institutions move faster.

• Own and drive technical projects from architecture to delivery
• Build scalable, fault‑tolerant services on AWS (Lambda, ECS, RDS, S3, Cloud Watch, etc.)
• Refactor legacy code for long‑term clarity, testability, and scalability
• Translate customer and product insights into high‑leverage workflow automation
• Participate in the on‑call rotation to ensure uptime and reliability
• Help shape team culture through mentorship, feedback, and ownership

• 7+ years building production systems in Python (or Node.js if exceptional)
• Deep experience designing, scaling, and operating pub/sub or event‑driven architectures
• Comfortable working in AWS‑native stacks, especially Lambda, SQS, Kinesis, Event Bridge, SNS
• DLQs, batching, retries, backoff strategies, alarm setup
• Infrastructure‑as‑code (Cloud Formation, CDK, or Terraform)
• Experience building resilient multi‑tenant systems that prioritize observability and fault isolation
• Willing to work in Ruby/Rails short‑term and eventually help transition toward Python‑based infrastructure upon achieving business growth milestones

• Previous migration experience (e.g. monolith to event‑driven, language conversions, infra hardening)
• Background in automation, agent frameworks, or AI systems (bonus, not required)
