• Implementation Engineering – Embed with customers, collect feedback, and iterate rapidly to ensure our roadmap aligns with user needs
• Technical Decision-Making – Balance speed and long-term scalability, selecting appropriate technologies (Next.js/Type Script, C#, Go, Python, modern cloud infrastructure) for each problem domain

• Proficiency in at least two of:
  Next.js/Type Script, C#, Go, Python

• Proven expertise with AI-assisted development tools—especially Cursor or windsurf, to accelerate code generation, refactoring, and automated test creation

• Practical experience deploying lightweight machine-learning models for real-time anomaly detection, automated compliance reporting, or incident triage in production systems
• Experience designing and contributing to fintech, payments, or ledgering systems (e.g., double-entry ledgers, payments, clearing, or settlement)
• Experience integrating banking, payments, or compliance providers, or a demonstrated ability to onboard unfamiliar financial APIs quickly
• Prior leadership or mentorship in a high-growth engineering team
