- Highly efficient coding in Golang, Java or any similar languages.
- Experience designing and maintaining highly reliable systems with high availability and strong consistency requirements, handling crucial operational data.
- Proven ability to use AI across the software development cycle, utilizing tools for such as Cursor and Claude for code generation, unit test authoring, and complex documentation/design (e.g., flowcharts, runbooks, architectural documents).
- Expertise in integrating complex risk and abuse mitigation checks (such as Persistence Limiters, Factual Defects, or third-party Risk Assessor calls) directly within core transactional flows.
- Proven background implementing and enforcing core transaction tenets such as idempotency and atomicity in distributed service architectures.
Responsibilities

- Drive continuous integration and adoption of AI tools into the team's development workflow to achieve demonstrable efficiency gains in code authoring and testing.
- Develop robust configuration management structures to govern optimization rules, risk compliance mandates, and eligibility checks across various R&A flows.
Other
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics or related field, with 5+ years of full-time engineering experience.
- Demonstrated ability to lead technical design for complex platform features.
- Proven ability to lead and coach junior engineers on the team.
- For San Francisco, CA-based roles: The base salary range for this role is USD$198,000 per year - USD$220,000 per year.
