📋 Description

• Lead teams (4–8 engineers each) responsible for account onboarding, KYC/KYB, AML, and fraud detection decisioning and workflows, and operational tooling. • Apply AI/ML—from traditional models to large language models—to unlock faster, real-time bank account application approvals. This work sits on the critical business path, directly driving efficiency and revenue growth. • Partner with Product, Risk, and Data teams to design and deliver scalable systems that balance user experience with compliance rigor. • Shape the next generation of our KYC and risk platforms—reliable, resilient, and easy to extend as regulations and business needs evolve. • Create a strong culture of operational excellence, with measurable improvements to uptime, accuracy, and system quality. • Build, mentor, and grow engineering talent; help managers and senior engineers level up technically and organizationally. • Drive clarity amid complexity: translating between regulatory nuance and technical execution. • Foster collaboration across teams to align on priorities, simplify interfaces, and make the whole system more maintainable and elegant.

🎯 Requirements

• 9+ years of software development experience, including 3–5+ years of engineering management in a high-scale tech environment. • AI/ML expertise—you’ve built and launched applied AI products (from LLMs to traditional ML models), shipping them from 0→1 and scaling 1→10 in production environments. • Proven success building large-scale backend distributed systems, ideally involving integrations and decision automation. • Experience with or curiosity about KYC, AML, risk, or compliance systems in financial services or fintech. • A track record of raising the bar for quality and reliability, balancing shipping speed with technical excellence. • Strong communication and leadership skills—you can inspire engineers, partner across functions, and adapt your management style to the moment. • The ability to hire, retain, and develop exceptional technical talent. • A pragmatic builder’s mindset: you believe beautiful systems are those that work, adapt, and last.
