Python backend engineer with 9+ years across 0-1 B2B SaaS startups scaled to high-volume production, and 4+ years in technical leadership driving architecture decisions and mentoring engineers. Deep FinTech background: payment systems, sensitive financial data and transaction integrity.
At Trivto I grew from first in-office engineer into Engineering Manager, owning backend architecture and leading a team of five. I architected the payments core (audit-trailed ledger and idempotent transactions across fiat and crypto gateways, later extended to credit lines, cashback and rewards with no redesign), designed event-driven pipelines so four product lines share one supplier integration layer (about 3x less integration effort), and shipped RBAC on Cerbos and a pricing rules engine on GoRules. I also drove team-wide adoption of AI-assisted development with guardrails and an automated review-and-delivery pipeline, lifting sprint throughput by about 40%.
I build LLM systems in production: a five-stage editorial pipeline (research, draft, edit, images, social) with human approval between stages, publishing to a CMS and social scheduler. Iām also building Agentic OS, a model-agnostic platform for running AI agents and skills, with long-term agent memory, routing across local and hosted models, and agents that ship code behind human approval gates.
Based in Dubai (GMT+4), looking for a remote, hands-on engineering role building AI systems.
