You'll design systems built for 10x100x growth, make the key technical trade-off calls, and stay deeply hands-on. Beyond building, you'll mentor engineers and work directly with founders and product teams to translate business goals into scalable, reliable systems.

This role is an opportunity to:

• Shape the next-generation architecture for a high-throughput fintech system
• Build systems designed to scale 10x100x from current volumes
• Solve real-world problems across performance, reliability, and financial-grade security

• Own systems end-to-end from the first design decision to production impact
• Lead system design discussions and set the long-term technical direction for the platform
• Identify scale bottlenecks early and drive solutions
• Mentor and elevate engineers through design reviews, code quality, and architectural thinking
• Partner directly with founders and product teams to turn business priorities into scalable systems
• Operate with high ownership in a fast-paced environment where priorities evolve quickly
• Drive projects independently own timelines, coordinate with teams, and see delivery
• Conduct rigorous code reviews and champion engineering best practices across the team
• Proactively identify gaps in the system and come up with concrete approaches to address them
• Solve technical problems across the company not just confined to a single pod
• Challenge existing architecture with data and reasoning push back when its the right call, and drive adoption of better approaches.

Requirements
