• Proven experience designing and scaling cloud-native systems (AWS/Azure/GCP), including production systems at scale
• Experience building and running payments platforms (e.g., integrating with Stripe, ACH, card networks)
• Strong familiarity with technologies such as Node.js, .NET, TypeScript, React, REST, GraphQL, NoSQL databases, and CI/CD pipelines
• Demonstrated success building diverse, high-performing engineering teams
• Ability to conduct technical reviews, guide architecture, and support hands-on debugging when needed
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field—or equivalent professional experience
  In addition to the above salary, this role may be eligible for a bonus and equity.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Lead and grow a diverse, distributed engineering team (11+ engineers) across time zones, driving accountability, ownership, and results
• Drive execution across a broad portfolio of software projects, including payments systems, platform services, and user-facing applications
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Design, Data, and Business stakeholders to define strategy and translate it into measurable execution plans
• Set and uphold high engineering standards through code reviews, technical design guidance, and architectural oversight
• Design and scale distributed, cloud-native systems with attention to reliability, performance, and observability
• Foster a strong engineering culture centered on inclusion, autonomy, continuous improvement, and technical excellence
• Own the hiring process for your team: sourcing, interviewing, onboarding, and developing top-tier talent
• Mentor and develop engineers and managers through structured career development plans, continuous feedback, and goal setting
• Guide the team through complex trade-offs and evolving priorities, while consistently delivering high-quality results
• Represent the engineering team in leadership discussions and provide transparency into plans, decisions, and risks
