Job Description:

Our mission is to build the intelligent, automated systems and operational tools that make this possible—where machine learning, AI, and human judgment work seamlessly together to power the next generation of business banking*.

  • Shape the next generation of our KYC and risk platforms—reliable, resilient, and easy to extend as regulations and business needs evolve
  • Create a strong culture of operational excellence, with measurable improvements to uptime, accuracy, and system quality
  • Build, mentor, and grow engineering talent
  • help managers and senior engineers level up technically and organizationally
  • Drive clarity amid complexity: translating between regulatory nuance and technical execution
  • Foster collaboration across teams to align on priorities, simplify interfaces, and make the whole system more maintainable and elegant

Requirements:

  • 9+ years of software development experience
  • 3–5+ years of engineering management in a high-scale tech environment
  • AI/ML expertise—you’ve built and launched applied AI products (from LLMs to traditional ML models), shipping them from 0→1 and scaling 1→10 in production environments
  • Proven success building large-scale backend distributed systems, ideally involving integrations and decision automation
  • Experience with or curiosity about KYC, AML, risk, or compliance systems in financial services or fintech
  • A track record of raising the bar for quality and reliability, balancing shipping speed with technical excellence
  • Strong communication and leadership skills—you can inspire engineers, partner across functions, and adapt your management style to the moment
  • The ability to hire, retain, and develop exceptional technical talent
  • A pragmatic builder’s mindset: you believe beautiful systems are those that work, adapt, and last
What we offer:
  • base salary
  • equity
