- Building from scratch: Architect, design, and develop new products and APIs that deliver meaningful value to users.
- Problem-solving at scale: Solve complex challenges with a pragmatic mindset, keeping things simple yet impactful.
- Owning your work: Take full ownership of what you build, from initial concept to deployment, using a DevOps mindset and CI/CD tools.
- Collaborating across teams: Work closely with designers, product managers, and even the founders to shape the roadmap and tackle big-picture challenges.

- A knack for breaking down complex problems and delivering pragmatic, elegant solutions.
- Solid collaboration skills: You’ve worked effectively with cross-functional teams and know how to communicate ideas clearly.
- A passion for building and scaling systems in microservices environments (e.g., Kubernetes, AWS).
- Bonus points for experience in fintech, event-driven systems (Kafka), or API design, or if you’ve thrived in a startup environment.
Why You’ll Love This Role
