- Engineer core platform domains: You will contribute to the design and evolution of our most sensitive systems - such as the Transaction Ledger, Identity & Access Management (IAM), or Payment Orchestration. You'll ensure these engines remain high-performant, scalable, and 'functional' for our product teams to integrate with.

- Mentor & develop: You will provide technical guidance to junior and mid-level engineers, fostering a culture of operational excellence. You'll help the team adopt the best tools and methodologies to accelerate development cycles without compromising on security or reliability.
- Expect challenges, collaboration, and the freedom to bring your ideas to life. Our tech stack includes (but it's not limited to) PostgreSQL, Java, Spring Boot. We rely on AWS for our infrastructure, with microservices deployed on EC2/ECS, S3 for storage, AWS Lambda for serverless functions, and Kinesis and ElasticSearch for log streaming. You'll take ownership of your work from start to finish.
