🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in software engineering, with a focus on backend systems. • Proven experience designing, building, scaling, and maintaining production services in a service-oriented architecture. • Track record of writing high-quality, well-tested code that meets customer needs and withstands production demands. • Strong collaboration skills with the ability to work cross-functionally across product, infrastructure, and compliance teams. • Passion for building an open financial system that brings the world together. • Demonstrates the ability to responsibly use generative AI tools and copilots (e.g., LibreChat, Gemini, Glean) in daily workflows, continuously learn as tools evolve, and apply human-in-the-loop practices to deliver business-ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in efficiency, cost, and quality.
