  • Proven success driving complex sales cycles and contributing to revenue growth.

  • A passion for solving problems and translating business requirements into technical solutions.

  • Experience with:

    • Relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL)

    • APIs (REST, Webhooks, etc.)

    • Modern programming languages (e.g., Python, JavaScript)

  • Strong communication and project management skills with both internal and external stakeholders.

  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, early-stage startup environment.

Bonus Points

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.

  • Experience in financial crime, AML, or fraud detection.

  • Familiarity with compliance and risk workflows in financial services.

  • Existing relationships within the financial or Fintech ecosystem.

  • Interest in cross-functional collaboration and customer advocacy.
