• A degree in computer science or a related STEM field, with at least 5 years of full-time software engineering experience after graduation and 10+ years building backend or full-stack systems at scale.
• Production experience delivering and operating full-stack features, including TypeScript with Node.js and React or Next.js.
• Experience with Python services, Kafka or event-driven data pipelines, distributed systems, and microservices.
• Background building fintech systems such as payments, billing, ledgers, or risk products.
• Experience on an early-stage startup team or a startup-like team, plus familiarity with security and compliance for sensitive data.
• Must be a U.S. citizen or Green Card holder. This is a full-time employee role, not a contract position.
