Architect robust microservices and event-driven workflows, making key technical decisions on data modeling, API design, and consistency patterns like idempotency in financial transactions
Move beyond theory to practice by integrating LLMs and AI Agents directly into our stack to automate complex tasks like invoice matching, anomaly detection in ledgers, and support triage
Maintain the health of your services in production using observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana) to ensure 99.99% availability and rapid incident resolution ("You build it, you run it")
Raise the bar for code quality by conducting thorough code reviews, writing comprehensive tests, and mentoring junior engineers to help them grow their technical skills
Work closely with Product Managers and Finance counterparts to understand business requirements, such as new market expansions or tax regulations, and translate them into technical specifications
Help migrate legacy workflows to modern orchestration engines (like Temporal), reducing technical debt and increasing system reliability

Comfortable working with Docker and Kubernetes in a production environment, including configuring CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, Argo) to ship code safely and frequently
Practical experience or a strong personal interest in building with AI tools (OpenAI API, LangChain, Vector DBs) and a desire to make non-deterministic AI models reliable enough for financial data
