Requirements

- At least 10 years of software engineering experience, including building fault-tolerant, mission-critical distributed systems. - Experience designing, testing, and maintaining large-scale production software in multiple general-purpose languages. - A track record of influencing teams as they scale, refactor, and optimize established products. - Strong architectural judgment, clear technical communication, and the ability to make complex problems understandable. - Familiarity with double-entry accounting, such as journal entries, debits and credits, and subledger-to-ledger reconciliation. - A collaborative, test-driven approach, with an understanding that financial systems require correctness, auditability, and durable records.

Nice to have
