About the Role
This role builds, operates, and scales the services at the heart of an AI-enabled, autonomous banking platform for Tier-1 financial institutions. It requires deep experience with complex distributed systems, a correctness-first mindset, sound engineering judgment, and full end-to-end ownership from design through production operation.
Responsibilities
- Build and evolve capabilities for modern banking products, including products, accounts, transactions, transfers, journals, balances, and interest, as well as durable workflows and compliance controls.
- Define reliable APIs, events, and data contracts to connect capabilities into a coherent, auditable banking platform.
- Own services throughout their lifecycle: design, implementation, testing, deployment, operation, and continuous improvement.
- Participate in on-call and incident response, diagnosing failures across distributed services, data infrastructure, and event-driven workflows.
- Establish effective observability, alerting, operational controls, and recovery procedures; learn from production incidents to improve reliability, performance, and operational maturity.
- Design systems for correctness, auditability, scalability, and resilience at Tier-1 banking scale, making pragmatic trade-offs.
- Improve engineering practices across automated testing, CI/CD, safe deployment, rollback, and recovery.
- Use AI-assisted engineering, MCP servers, agent workflows, and automated runbooks where they materially improve engineering or operational outcomes.
- Contribute to team excellence through knowledge sharing, mentoring, and coaching, helping to develop technical capability and promote engineering best practices.
Requirements
- Deep experience designing and building complex distributed systems at scale, using a strongly typed, compiled language (Go preferred).
- Experience with event-driven architectures and technologies such as Kafka or equivalent streaming platforms.
- Strong understanding of concurrency, consistency, invariants, idempotency, failure modes, and distributed-system trade-offs.
- Substantial experience operating and debugging critical systems in production, including on-call and incident response.
- Practical experience with observability, reliability engineering, capacity planning, deployment safety, and disaster recovery.
- Experience with automated testing, CI/CD, GitOps, and modern production-engineering practices.
- Practical judgment and common sense, with the ability to evaluate and clearly articulate architectural trade-offs.
- Ability to explain complex systems in simple, precise terms and work effectively across coding, architecture, operations, and cross-team delivery.
- Effective use of AI to amplify genuine engineering expertise, with human ownership of design, validation, security, and production outcomes.
