- Design systems that process high-volume, event-driven data with clear audit trails and reproducible behavior.
- Partner closely with Product and Engineering to turn ambiguous financial-services problems into concrete technical solutions.
- Build customer-facing AI features that apply LLMs and ML models to real compliance problems, with attention to evaluation, latency, cost, and failure handling in production.
- Proven experience building and operating production backend systems in Go
- We help companies create new revenue streams and enhance their value proposition with FinTech apps and embedded banking products.
