- Experience designing and operating high-scale, distributed systems handling sensitive financial data.
- Ability to define technical strategy and lead architectural decisions for complex systems.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to engage both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Strong collaboration skills with Product teams to balance trade-offs between speed, quality, and scalability.
- Experience working directly with external partners and guiding technical integrations is highly valued.
