Responsibilities

  • Partner with Product Manager to develop technology strategy, focusing on defining boundaries in transaction monitoring and financial risk exposure.

  • Collaborate with stakeholders (Legal, Compliance, Operations) to identify opportunities and influence decisions through persuasive, data-backed communication.
  • Facilitate technical discussions, guide resolutions, and navigate trade-offs.
  • Own operational excellence for your product, establishing metrics and processes for assessment and improvement.
  • Lead your team like a startup, fostering a culture of succeeding, failing, and learning together.

Requirements

  • Humble and inclusive leadership style.
  • Experience designing and building scalable products using Java and Spring Boot.

  • Desire to spend approximately 50% of your time close to the code.
  • Ability to analyze and articulate trade-offs of technical problems to a broad audience.

  • We welcome applicants of every background, identity, and experience.
  • We're far more interested in what you'll bring than a perfect match on paper.
  • We make sure our hiring process is accessible to everyone. If you need an adjustment at any stage, just let us know: we're happy to help.
  • We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
