• Define hiring needs for backend, frontend and QA, and run a rigorous, fair process to bring in strong engineers who can handle the scope.
• Give regular, specific feedback, set growth goals with each engineer, and build the skills the team needs in fintech, AI-native engineering and production ownership.
• Set priorities, plan the work with Finance and Engineering stakeholders, and keep the team focused on the outcomes that matter most.
• Create the conditions for people to do their best work, and address blockers early.
• Own banking integrations, transaction reconciliation, and data pipelines for money movements, tax activity and cash activity.
• Instrument financial flows end to end, from the user’s intent through the settled transaction to the accounting entry.
• Build monitors and reconciliations that catch silent failures: duplicates, stuck states, mismatched balances and partner-side drift.
• Lead investigations across payment service providers, ledgers, wallets, payouts, cards and crypto rails.
• Fix the code, data model or integration that caused the problem. Do not stop at the workaround.
• Make operations idempotent, observable and safe to retry. Turn every postmortem lesson into a guard, a test or a monitor.
• Drive the use of AI agents that triage alerts, investigate with read-only data access, propose or apply fixes, and verify the result.
• Design safe autonomy with maker-checker validation, clear escalation to a person when confidence is low, and full audit trails.
• Translate finance requirements into engineering work, and engineering constraints into terms finance can plan around.
• Balance the demands of a busy finance organization with the need to build durable systems.

• Engineering leadership. You have long years of experience, including at least 1 year of experience leading engineering teams and driving delivery in complex environments.
• Hiring and coaching experience. You have hired engineers, given direct feedback, and grown people into stronger engineers and leaders.
• You are AI-native. You use AI coding and agent tools such as Claude Code, Cursor or Codex to their full potential. You run agents in parallel, write specs and skills that agents run, and review their output with rigor. You also know when not to use AI.
• Strong backend engineering. You are ideally proficient in Node.js and TypeScript, and you have SQL depth at the database level as well as PostgreSQL experience. We are open to other server-side stacks if you are comfortable working with Node.js and TypeScript.
• Production ownership. You have debugged live, high-volume systems and fixed root causes. You understand concurrency, idempotency, retries, queues and eventual consistency.
• Cross-functional communication. You can explain a financial incident to engineers and to finance partners, and you can translate between the two.
• Turn a huge, busy scope into clear priorities and deliver against them.
• Balance finance’s urgency with engineering’s need for quality.
• Grow engineers and build a team that holds up under pressure.
• Care about the person at the end of every transaction.
