Job summary

Rapidfolio is seeking a hands-on engineer/consultant to map real-world processes inside customer operations and translate them into robust Rapidfolio workflows. You will partner with compliance, operations, risk, and product teams to deploy production-ready solutions.

If you enjoy hard problems, ownership from first conversation to production, and working closely with customers, this role is for you. This in-person SF position emphasizes practical problem-solving and measurable business outcomes.

Qualifications

• 2+ years of building and shipping real software in production.
• Time spent in financial services, fintech, or another regulated industry.
• Enough engineering depth to design something robust, plus the instinct to keep it simple.
• Comfort with ambiguity; able to walk into an undocumented process and leave with a plan.
• Genuine interest in the people side: discovery calls, stakeholder trust, and reading a room.
• An ownership reflex. When a deployment is stuck, you are the one who unsticks it.
• Clear communication with engineers and non-technical operators.

Responsibilities

• Embed with a customer's compliance, operations, risk, and fraud teams to map how a process really runs, including edge cases and hidden knowledge.
• Translate that work into Rapidfolio workflows, ensuring accuracy, reliability, and audit quality.
• Take a deployment from initial conversation to full production: pilot, iterate, and expand.
• Collaborate across the customer's organization from analyst to executive sponsor.
• Handle workflows in financial services such as KYC/KYB, sanctions and watchlist screening, underwriting, disputes and reconciliation.
• Identify repeat patterns across deployments to strengthen the platform.
• Stay after go-live to grow and automate additional processes.
