Senior Full-Stack Software Development Engineer

6+ years of software engineering experience, with a demonstrated ability to independently design and ship production systems at scale.

Strong backend fundamentals — experience building, scaling, and operating distributed services in a language such as Go, Java, Python, or Kotlin.

Comfort working across the stack, including building or integrating with customer-facing interfaces (e.g., React/TypeScript), even if backend is your primary focus.

Experience designing secure, scalable, and performant systems on cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS).

A track record of leading feature development across a team — breaking down work, writing specs, coordinating dependencies, and delivering on commitments.

Strong fundamentals in system design: data modeling, API design, service reliability, and performance trade-offs.

Experience with observability and production operations — instrumenting code, reading dashboards, and debugging under pressure.

A track record of mentoring engineers and contributing to team technical standards.

Clear written and verbal communication, including the ability to explain technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders.

A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Nice to have: experience in payments, fintech, or money movement.
