• Has experience in designing and implementing solutions on an organizational level, impacting multiple teams/tribes
• Has experience engineering high-quality, highly scalable software 
• A willingness to learn new technologies (we are working with Golang, Erlang)
• Strong system design fundamentals, particularly in distributed systems 
• Ability to analyze complex technical problems and develop clear strategies
• Comfort working in ambiguous, high-impact problem spaces 
• Strong communication skills and the ability to influence technical direction across teams
• A passion for creating user-centric, data driven solutions

Bonus points for:

• Experience in Fintech
• Interest in Functional Programming

What you will do:

• Collaborate closely with engineering leadership and teams to design and implement scalable and robust software solutions
• Analyze complex system challenges and create strategies for improving architecture, scalability, and platform efficiency
• Drive large cross-team initiatives from concept to execution, influencing decisions and aligning multiple teams
• Enhance system automation (scale, resiliency, deployment)
• Build and enhance core platform components and shared libraries (AWS, Go, Erlang, Kafka) used across the organization
• Work with technical and non-technical stakeholders from the wider organization to understand and drive improvements across the platform
• Build on our CloudNative platform, enabling more use of AWS technology to aid in speeding up delivery, scale, and resiliency
• Grow the engineering community, building on the existing process and practices
• Elevate engineering standards, helping teams grow and operate more efficiently
