About the role

What You'll Do

  • Customer-facing engineering. Embed with key customers to understand their onboarding, KYB, and compliance workflows. Translate their pain points into technical solutions, whether that's a custom integration, a new API endpoint, or a workflow tweak.
  • Build and ship fast. Design and deploy customer-specific configurations, integrations with third-party compliance and identity vendors, and custom data pipelines. Own the full lifecycle from scoping through production.
  • Bridge product and engineering. Bring customer insights back to the core product team. Identify patterns across customer needs that should become platform features. Help shape the roadmap based on what you're seeing in the field.
  • Technical problem-solving under pressure. Debug production issues in real time. Troubleshoot complex vendor integrations across 80+ providers. Be the person customers trust to get things working.
  • Scale what works. Turn one-off solutions into reusable patterns. Write internal tooling, documentation, and runbooks that make the next deployment faster for everyone.

What We're Looking For

  • 3+ years of software engineering experience building and shipping production systems. You've written code that real users depend on.
  • Strong backend fundamentals. Proficiency in at least one modern language (Python, Go, Java, Node.js). Experience with REST APIs, microservices, and relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL).
  • Customer-facing comfort. You can hold your own in a call with a VP of Compliance at a fintech. You listen well, communicate clearly, and know how to translate business language into technical requirements (and vice versa).
  • Bias toward action. You don't wait for perfect specs. You scope, build, and iterate. You're comfortable with ambiguity and thrive when given ownership.
  • Cloud experience. Hands-on with AWS (preferred), GCP, or Azure. Familiar with CI/CD, Docker, and modern deployment practices.

Nice to Have

  • Experience in fintech, regtech, payments, or fraud/risk detection
  • Familiarity with compliance workflows (KYC/KYB, AML, sanctions screening)
  • Experience integrating with third-party APIs at scale
  • Frontend skills (React, TypeScript) for building internal tools or customer-facing dashboards
  • Background working with ML/AI systems or data-intensive applications
