Integrity: We always do the right thing. It's simple, but it's the foundation of everything we build for our customers and each other.
Outcomes: We work for our customers. Their success and prosperity are the results we focus on delivering.
Velocity: We are fast! We maintain high energy levels and make smart decisions quickly, keeping us nimble and ahead of the curve.
5 years of experience building backend services at scale.
Strong proficiency in Python and Kotlin/Java (Spring Boot) is expected, as Universal Wallet spans both stacks.
Experience designing and operating REST/gRPC APIs, event-driven systems, and relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL).
Ability to work with AI in a safe, structured environment.
Ability to work with tools like Grafana and Loki for debugging and fault-finding.
Some understanding of Kubernetes, ArgoCD, and AWS cloud is advantageous, as well as technologies like Terraform.
You take pride in writing readable, well-designed, and well-tested software.
You will improve code structure and have an impact on architecture.
You will actively review tech designs and code from others.
You'll improve monitoring and the health of your team's systems.
You'll participate in on-call and production support — triaging incidents, restoring service, and following through on remediation so issues don't recur.
You write clear, self-contained updates (Slack, Jira, PRs, design docs) that don't require a live conversation to understand.
You default to documenting decisions and context rather than relying on verbal handoffs.
You build relationships with other engineering teams and identify collaboration opportunities, even without in-person contact.
You own larger pieces of work, assist with design and technical/implementation choices, and influence the roadmap within your team.
You communicate easily with non-technical team members and can translate their feedback into code.
You adjust quickly and effectively to shifting priorities and complexity.
Care about users, and want to give them an improved, simpler experience.
Are more of a "get it done" than a "perfectionist" type person — you value getting features into the hands of our users.

Aren't afraid to throw away code you wrote — because after testing, a flow you built doesn't work as well as a different one.
Experience with Rust, particularly for Solana or other blockchain/crypto integrations — a strong plus given Universal Wallet's stablecoin and on-chain settlement work.
Experience with wallet, ledger, or payment systems (balances, reconciliation, settlement).
Familiarity with KYC/AML regulatory requirements in international payments.
Experience in fintech or other regulated, high-availability environments.
Familiarity with any of the communities we serve.
A genuine curiosity about AI and how it can be applied in your area of work, from accelerating analysis and insight generation, to improving how we design and deliver processes and communications.
Practical experience using AI tools in a professional context, whether to connect information, draft content, build frameworks, or create insights from data. We want people who actively use AI to increase productivity, not those who are waiting to be told to.
Strong AI literacy. An understanding of what AI assistants can and cannot do, how to prompt effectively, and how to critically evaluate AI-generated output before using it.
Awareness of the ethical considerations and responsible use of AI in the workplace, particularly in the context of sensitive data, customer experience, and compliance.
Prior experience using Claude (Anthropic) is a nice-to-have but not essential — what matters most is that you are genuinely engaged with AI as a tool, comfortable experimenting, and eager to share what works with your wider team.
