You'll thrive here if you're curious, collaborative, and bring strong engineering fundamentals to a team that values learning, quality, and meaningful contribution across development, testing, deployment readiness, and support activities—not just one technology or layer of the stack.

• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills; able to collaborate effectively in Agile, cross-functional environments and communicate clearly across teams.
• Comfortable contributing across development, testing, deployment readiness, and support activities, with a willingness to learn beyond a single technology or layer of the stack.

Nice To Haves

• Exposure to technologies similar to our environment, such as cloud services, containerization, Kubernetes/AKS, CI/CD pipelines, observability tooling, or secure software development in an enterprise or SaaS environment.

• Background in regulated industries such as fintech, capital markets, or enterprise compliance technology.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain software components — including APIs, backend services, and user-facing features — across a modern cloud-based platform.
• Participate in the full development lifecycle, from requirements and design through testing, deployment readiness, release support, and thoughtful production support.

• Build with quality in mind by contributing to engineering best practices, automation, testability, and reliable delivery improvements that help the team ship software with confidence.
• Explore emerging technologies — including AI-assisted development and intelligent automation — and bring ideas that improve the product and team effectiveness.
