• Lead the backend team with strict coding reviews, testing, observability, and deployment standards for regulated banks.
• Integrate sanctions screening connectors with auditable workflows and escalation hooks in transaction paths.
• Collaborate with SRE on multi-region availability, failover targets, and live ledger alerts; work with security on IAM and key management.
