Responsibilities

- Proactively identify technical risks, design trade-offs, and delivery challenges, collaborating with peers and leadership to drive resolution.
- Foster a culture of quality and accountability through thoughtful code reviews, documentation, knowledge sharing, and cross-team collaboration.
- Contribute to hiring and performance management in a consultative capacity, with the potential to take on direct people-management responsibilities as the team scales.
- 6+ years of experience as a Full-Stack or Back-End Developer within the FinTech or broader technology space.
- Strong proficiency in server-side programming languages and technologies—C#/.NET, ASP.NET Core, Entity Framework, SQL; Python is a plus.
- Experience designing, building, or supporting cloud-based architectures; familiarity with cloud-hosted systems (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) is highly desirable.
- Experience providing technical leadership to a small team of engineers, including code review, mentorship, and guiding domain-level design decisions.
- Experience leading multi-quarter technical initiatives within a defined domain.
- Ability to balance business delivery with long-term platform improvements while operating within established architectural boundaries.
- Demonstrated experience mentoring engineers, providing technical guidance, conducting code reviews, supporting career development, and influencing technical direction at the domain level.
- Experience with web frameworks and technologies—Angular, JavaScript, TypeScript.
- Strong understanding of agile development methodologies, with experience operating in fast-paced, iterative environments.
- Proven ability to operate as a self-starter and technical leader, balancing hands-on execution with strategic thinking and team collaboration.
- Prior direct management experience (1–2 years) is a plus but not required.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
- Preferred: Experience or familiarity with financial products, particularly structured products.
