POSITION SUMMARY
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Feature Development Across Trust Domains: Plan, design, and ship features across the team's core services - KYC and identity verification, PII tokenization and the data vault, secure file ingest and scanning, and user deduplication. Break down complex problems, produce clean designs, and deliver maintainable, high-quality code.
- Own a Focus Area End to End: Take primary responsibility for a defined slice of Trust's surface area, calibrated with your manager based on team needs at the time of joining, driving design, implementation, rollout, and ongoing operations.
- System Design and Architecture: Make sound architectural decisions for backend services that must meet regulatory, security, and scalability requirements. Serve as a design reviewer for peers, weighing tradeoffs and helping the team converge on durable solutions.
- Cross-Team Integration: Partner with product and engineering teams onboarding to KYC, tokenization, filevaulting, and deduplication. Clearly communicate changes, write durable documentation, and run integration conversations so consumers can adopt Trust capabilities smoothly.
- Operational Excellence: Join the on-call rotation after onboarding. Contribute to observability, runbooks, and incident response so Trust services remain dependable for the teams that build on them.
- Collaboration and Mentorship: Review code, designs, and architecture thoughtfully. Foster a culture of continuous learning, and grow into tech lead responsibilities on multi-engineer initiatives over time.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- 4+ years of software development experience, with a track record of owning projects end-to-end - from problem definition through design, implementation, rollout, and production operation.
- Strong design instincts for backend systems. Comfortable weighing tradeoffs and serving as a design reviewer for peers.
- Strong RESTful API design experience and comfort with SQL and NoSQL data stores.
- Cross-Team Technical Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication.
- Because this role's work is consumed by other teams, the ability to clearly explain changes, write documentation that ages well, and run integration conversations is core to the job.
- AI-Augmented Engineering: Productive working with AI tooling - fluent enough that programming language boundaries (Go, Kotlin, Java, C#, Python) do not slow you down. Depth of engineering experience matters more than a specific language, though production Go experience is a strong plus and will reduce ramp time on Trust services.
- Experience using AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, ChatGPT, or similar tools) as part of your software development workflow?
- Security, Privacy, or Compliance Adjacent Experience: Background in KYC, PII handling, fraud, encryption, tokenization, or related regulated domains.
- Familiarity with FinTech is a plus.
