Responsibilities

Lead Strategy with Urgency: Drive architectural decisions that support long-term stability while maintaining the pace required by a fast-growing banking platform. You will identify critical paths and make high-stakes technical calls to keep the organization moving efficiently

Balance Coding & Leadership: Maintain a projected division of roughly 70% contributing high-quality code and 30% driving technical alignment. You will be expected to ship individually while unblocking the wider team

Drive Execution: Lead the development of complex initiatives by chunking and sequencing work to maximize parallelization. You will be responsible for maintaining high throughput and ensuring features reach production without unnecessary delays

Amplify the Team: Amplify your skills and vision by supporting the growth of the team. You will mentor team members both directly and by example, helping others reach their true potential and driving engineering best practices

Optimize for Value: Leverage strong pattern recognition to build SaaS applications that effectively balance complexity, quality, and speed of delivery. You will build for our customers, avoiding complexity for complexity’s sake

Elevate Standards: Lead initiatives to fine-tune controls and communication channels to improve predictability and system reliability. You will use data to ruthlessly prioritize work that moves the needle
