  • Influence and oversee engineering efforts across various domains such as identity, payments, ledgering, risk, and AI
  • Collaborate with other product leaders to establish and execute on vision & architecture strategies
  • Help drive the unified vision for product platform services and API surface
  • Lead the development and scaling of data stores and ledger systems within payment frameworks
  • Implement best practices for building and maintaining large-scale systems

What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):

  • Minimum of 10+ years of experience
  • Proven background in payment systems, including experience with scaling data stores and building ledgering systems
  • Experience in the fintech sector, with crypto experience being a plus
  • Demonstrated experience in working with large-scale systems and solving complex engineering problems
