• Proficiency in Java/Spring ecosystem, with the ability to quickly adapt to new frameworks
• Expertise in designing and implementing robust, scalable distributed systems
• Deep understanding of API design principles
• Experience with event-driven architectures and message brokers (particularly Kafka)
• Strong knowledge of containerization, orchestration, and cloud deployment (Azure preferred)
• Proven ability to balance technical debt against delivery priorities
• Strong testing mindset with experience in automated testing approaches
• Proficiency in SQL and database design (PostgreSQL experience preferred)
• Excellent problem-solving skills with the ability to navigate ambiguity

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Kotlin development and functional programming paradigms
• Exposure to multiple programming languages and technology stacks
• Familiarity with API specification tools like TypeSpec or OpenAPI
• Experience in the fintech or financial services sector
• Understanding of how AI/ML can transform not just what we build, but how we build it
• Track record of mentoring other engineers in systems thinking
• Contributions to open-source projects or technical communities

What We Offer

• Opportunity to shape the future of product engineering at the intersection of AI and fintech
• Collaborative team culture that values innovative thinking and technical excellence
• Complex, meaningful problems to solve that will transform business lending globally
