📋 Description

• Contribute to the codebase as a technical force multiplier: filling gaps, improving quality, and modeling engineering standards. • Lead and Develop Your Team: Manage a team of backend engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence, ownership, and continuous growth. Conduct regular 1:1s, provide mentorship, and support career development across all levels of the team. • Architect Critical Financial Systems: Design and implement payment processing, fraud detection, and compliance systems that handle millions of dollars daily with strict regulatory requirements — and guide your team in doing the same. • Drive Technical Decisions: Own architecture decisions that impact the entire platform, establishing best practices and engineering standards as the organization scales. • Stay Hands-On: Contribute directly to complex engineering work — this is not a purely managerial role. You'll write code, participate in design reviews, and remain an active technical voice on the team. • Lead Cross-Domain Solutions: Coordinate complex interactions between payments, fraud detection, user management, and compliance systems across a distributed microservices architecture. • Partner Across the Organization: Collaborate closely with product, compliance, and other engineering teams to design systems that meet both business and regulatory requirements. • Build Engineering Culture: Establish coding standards, design patterns, and engineering practices that will define the team's culture from the ground up. • Manage Delivery: Balance technical quality with business velocity — plan engineering work, remove blockers, and ensure the team ships reliably.

🎯 Requirements

• 7+ years of software engineering experience building complex, production systems • 2+ years of experience leading an engineering team, including performance management and hiring • Demonstrated experience as a player-coach — comfortable moving between technical execution and team leadership • Proven track record of solving complex, cross-domain engineering challenges in production environments • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field required • Master's degree in Computer Science or Engineering from an accredited university highly preferred • Backend Development: Python (we use Python 3), strong understanding of web frameworks and APIs • Database Design: Experience with both NoSQL and SQL databases • Cloud Infrastructure: Google Cloud Platform or similar cloud platforms • Architecture Patterns: Domain-driven design, clean architecture, CQRS • System Design: Ability to design systems that balance performance, maintainability, and business requirements • Distributed Systems: Event-driven architectures, microservices, and high-scale system design • Strong communicator who can translate complex technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders • Experience setting technical direction and building alignment across engineering and product teams • Ability to hire, onboard, and grow engineering talent • Comfortable navigating ambiguity and making decisions with incomplete information.
