• Strong Technical Roots: Solid engineering background with modern languages and an understanding of frontend frameworks (like React and TypeScript).
• Distributed Systems at Scale: Designed, deployed, and maintained scalable, concurrent microservices in a cloud environment. Understand the tradeoffs of high-throughput message processing and asynchronous workflows.
• Product & Risk Mindset: Care about the business impact, understand operational bottlenecks, and can translate complex policy mandates into simple, incremental engineering milestones.
• Excellent Communication: Easily align engineers, data scientists, and non-technical business partners (like compliance and operations leads) toward a shared technical vision.

Nice to Have

• Prior experience working in FinTech, Financial Crime (AML, Sanctions, Fraud, or Policy enforcement).
• Experience partnering with Data Scientists to productionalize and scale Machine Learning models.
• Familiarity with Cloud Infrastructure and modern DevOps tooling (AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions).
• Experience building or optimizing high-volume case-management platforms or operational back-office tools.
