Job summary

Yuno is seeking a Staff Engineer to lead the Money, Risk & Payment Ancillaries unit, architecting bank-grade, auditable systems for risk, fraud, and money movement. You will own multi‑tenant, low-latency architectures and mentor teams across domains.

Bring deep Go/Kotlin expertise, distributed systems leadership, and a track record building financially critical platforms. This remote role offers strong compensation and growth opportunities.

Qualifications

• Extensive software engineering experience, with deep expertise in Go and/or Kotlin (our core backend stack) and strength across the full stack.
• A proven track record architecting robust, scalable, and maintainable distributed systems — event-driven, high-throughput, low-latency — with a strong grasp of design patterns and best practices
• Experience building financial or risk‑critical systems where correctness, consistency, and auditability matter (ledgers, reconciliation, real-time decisioning, or fraud/risk engines)
• Strong experience with AWS and cloud-native services (RDS, ECS, EKS, S3, and similar)
• Excellent automated testing practices — unit, integration, and end‑to‑end — within Agile, DevSecOps, and CI/CD workflows
• Proven technical leadership — mentoring engineers, driving technical vision, and delivering complex, cross‑team projects, with a feel for DORA metrics and unblocking teams
• A preference for clean, modular architecture over monolithic shortcuts, and the judgment to balance reliability and compliance against feature velocity
• English — advanced proficiency, written and spoken

Responsibilities

• Cross-domain architecture and technical leadership — own the architecture across risk, fraud, scams, money operations, reconciliations, and chargebacks; set the technical direction with versioned APIs and event-driven design
• Real-time risk and fraud systems — architect the low-latency systems that score transactions for risk and fraud and act on them before or at authorization
• Money movement and financial correctness — build money operations and reconciliation systems with idempotency, exactly-once semantics, and auditable ledgers, so every cent is accounted for
• Scams and disputes — design the platforms behind scam prevention and the chargeback and dispute lifecycle, aligned with card-network rules and regulatory requirements
• Bank-grade, resilient systems — design highly available, compliant capabilities engineered for a zero-tolerance-for-failure environment, where feature velocity never compromises reliability
• You Build It, You Run It — champion a YBIYRI culture: your teams design for multi-tenancy, elastic scaling, and automated observability, and own their microservices in production
• Mentorship and cross-functional collaboration — mentor engineers and partner with Product, Data/ML, Compliance, and Staff Engineers across domains to deliver complex, cross-team work
