The role

- Keep critical services reliable, correct and able to scale as usage grows significantly.

- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and monitoring for production systems.

- Prioritize tests and engineering trade-offs sensibly in a fast-moving environment.

Requirements

What we're looking for

- At least 2 years of experience in distributed systems engineering.

- Strong system design skills, with a deep and holistic view of complex multi-vendor architectures.

- Experience with high data throughput workloads and some exposure to security.

- A habit of reasoning from first principles rather than rigidly applying past solutions.

- A strong sense of reliability and correctness under pressure.

- High agency and autonomy, comfortable in a flat, hands-on team.

- Comfortable using AI tools productively without depending on them.

- No prior payments or fintech background is required.

Bonus points
