Apply for this position

How you’ll help us achieve it:

We believe strongly in building teams that can orient around a well-defined mission and are equipped to execute autonomously against that mission. We count on you to collaborate with your team to build and support our platform and products used by customers sending money transfers from 50+ countries into 150+ markets worldwide. We are looking for engineers with expertise in designing and architecting complex, distributed systems at scale, and the ability to lead strategic technical initiatives.

Our tech stack: 

Our tech stack is varied at the moment. Embarrassing honesty - We are in the process of migrating some of our products off legacy stacks.

  • Backend services: Java(SpringBoot and SpringCloud), Python

  • Public Cloud: AWS

  • CI/CD tooling: CircleCI, ArgoCD, Jenkins

  • Container orchestration: Kubernetes

  • IaC: Terraform

  • API Gateway and Service Mesh Architecture

  • Databases: PostgreSQL, NoSQL

What you will own:

The FinCrime team focuses on automation after transitioning from screening sanctions and PEPs. You will manage the screening platform for people and transactions, handling alerts, and integrating with vendors like Bridger. Day to day work involves holding and releasing transactions, managing customer care investigations through an RFI task system, and developing crypto-related screening for transactions and wallets. Additionally, the team is involved in various other tasks, such as maintaining the BFF (world services) and automating regulatory reporting like the FINRA process. FinCrime engineers are using Java with Spring Boot, PostgreSQL database, AWS services with Kubernetes, GitHub Actions and Argo CD for CI/CD, and microservices architecture. 

What you bring to the table:

  • Expertise in designing and architecting complex, distributed systems at scale.

  • Ability to analyze and optimize system performance, identifying and addressing bottlenecks and architectural limitations.

  • Proficiency in writing complex SQL queries for data analysis and reporting

  • A strong understanding of cloud infrastructure is a must for this role.

  • Ability to lead cross-functional initiatives to drive architectural improvements and strategic technology decisions, influencing stakeholders at all levels.

  • Experience in designing and implementing comprehensive monitoring dashboards for system health and performance

  • Ability to mentor and guide engineering teams on architectural principles and best practices, fostering a culture of technical excellence.

  • Comfortable building effective relationships with stakeholders outside of technology.

  • An open mind with respect to diversity and inclusivity. Our team (and customers) come from all over the world.

Bonus Points if you:

  • Have worked at a scaling startup previously.

  • Have improved processes with the help of any new AI technologies
