Your team will be responsible for the backbone of our fiat financial operations. This includes direct API integrations with top-tier banking partners, robust fiat rails integration (such as ACH, RTP, FedNow, RFP in the US, and SEPA in Europe), and advanced treasury management software designed to automatically manage and reconcile balances across banking networks. You will be managing a high-performing team of Software Engineers, ensuring they have the technical guidance, processes, and support necessary to scale our gateway to Finance 2.0.

• BS or MS degree in Computer Science or Engineering OR equivalent years of work experience.
• Golang expertise, familiar with Go's idiomatic approach and niches.

• Exceptional client-facing communication and presentation skills with a proven ability to represent the engineering team to external banking partners, customers, and executive stakeholders.
• Demonstrated experience collaborating directly with external engineering teams at partner banks to guide them through complex integrations, troubleshoot connection issues, and gather technical feedback.
• Ability to translate complex technical concepts (like API architecture, security protocols, and banking constraints) into clear, concise language for both technical and non-technical audiences (e.g., Sales, Product, Legal, and external partners).
• Experience partnering closely with Product Management to define product requirements, influence technical roadmaps, and make trade-offs between speed, quality, and technical debt.
