As a Software Development Engineer, you’ll dive into high-stakes challenges, working across frontend, backend, and infrastructure to build secure, scalable, and intuitive systems. You understand the critical importance of precision and security in an industry where trust is everything. You don’t just write code, you anticipate issues, obsess over quality, and see the bigger picture. Adaptable and collaborative, you’re ready to wear multiple hats, work closely with cross-functional teams, and grow rapidly in a fast-paced environment. Whether you’re early in your career or bring years of experience, you’re fueled by curiosity and a relentless drive to build something monumental.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with compliance and product teams to translate complex requirements into secure, user-friendly features that meet regulatory and business needs.
• Troubleshooting & Reliability: Diagnose and resolve production issues, contributing to the platform’s stability and uptime.
