Strong database and SQL knowledge.
In-depth knowledge of object-oriented programming fundamentals.
Demonstrated ability to work autonomously, manage competing priorities, and drive projects to completion with minimal oversight.
A strong communicator who builds trust with both technical and non-technical partners - someone comfortable presenting trade-offs, pushing back when needed, and keeping stakeholders aligned.
Experience collaborating across teams and functions as part of the SDLC.
Familiarity with the full development lifecycle of a commercial system, including requirements definition, agile planning, production deployment, and production support.

Responsibilities

Design and architect systems, services, and features on a cloud-native platform to increase automation and ensure the integrity and security of our systems.
Work directly with stakeholders across product, operations, compliance, and the business to understand needs, define requirements, and drive delivery.
Enhance and continue to build out our reporting, statements, and login/entitlements management systems and processes.
Coordinate cross-functionally with other engineering teams to support broader platform functionality such as trading, lending, staking, and settlement.
