What You'll Be Doing Leading by example: writing production code across backend and at least one client platform Defining system architecture and making pragmatic technical tradeoffs Owning delivery of features across mobile, web, and backend systems Designing and maintaining systems for payments, ledgering, fraud controls, and AML workflows Ensuring the product is secure, reliable, and scalable in real‑world financial environments Mentoring engineers through code reviews, design discussions, and hands‑on collaboration Working closely with founders to translate product goals into technical execution Must‑Haves Experience at fintech, payments, banking, crypto, remittances, or lending startups Deep, hands‑on experience with Anti‑Fraud, AML, ledgering, and payments orchestration 7-10 years building and shipping consumer‑facing mobile and/or web applications Meaningful full‑stack exposure (e.g., React/TypeScript, Python, Go/Rust, Postgres, AWS, CI/CD) Proven ability to lead technically: making architectural decisions, mentoring engineers, and driving outcomes Strong systems thinking with an eye toward performance, security, and correctness This role is best suited for leaders who still enjoy being close to the code, especially in fast‑moving startup environments.
