About the Role

You will be one of the first engineers on the ground in the states, in our new NYC office. You're a super IC in a small, elite engineering team. You work on core banking systems and own projects end to end. You take on big projects, drive them yourself, and deliver. You work with engineering, product, and clients. You turn complex financial problems into clean code. You're trusted with big decisions from day 1; system design, technical tradeoffs, what we build and what we don't. The team is small on purpose, that means you have a lot of ownership, you move fast, and you make decisions that actually matter. You're part of the product engineering team building the Programmable Bank - a bank for the new age of money movement, built around Digital Assets and AI. Your team builds the banking core across bare metal central bank infrastructure and blockchain infrastructure. We are building a "swiss clock", your job is precision engineering to translate a complex system into simple and clean code which runs in a highly reliable way at scale.

• Ship meaningful code in your first weeks.
• Pick up a major project as an IC and start driving it.
• Ship your first big project end to end.
• Influence technical direction.
• Scope and drive projects autonomously.

Requirements

• 3+ years of hands-on software engineering experience (backend-focused).
• 1+ years in early-stage or small startup environments.
• Based in NYC or work permit in the US.
• Your former teammates would put you in the top 5% of engineers they've worked with.
• You merge your PR today, not tomorrow.
• You ship and iterate rather than wait for perfection.
• You care about simplicity more than cleverness.
• You'd rather own a problem end to end than wait for someone to hand you a spec.
• You want to work alongside people who are genuinely great at what they do.
• You can't leave something broken.
• You don't stop because it got hard or because no one is watching.
• You're harder on yourself than anyone else would be.
• You don't need external accountability to care about quality.
• You don't wait for a playbook and you don't need one.
• You walk into genuinely new territory and figure it out.
• You move before anyone asked you to.
• You don't solve problems by adding people or effort.
• You build systems that make the problem smaller.
• Your first instinct is to automate, not to handle it manually.
