• 5+ years in platform engineering, developer tooling, infrastructure, or reliability engineering, on systems where mistakes were expensive.
• Deep production TypeScript in a codebase large enough that types and module boundaries mattered.
• Relational data modeling and migrations under production constraints. Postgres or equivalent. Node.js fluency.
• GCP or AWS
• You reason about state, ordering, idempotency, failure modes, and consistency, and you name failure modes before anyone asks.
• You have built resilience around unreliable third-party APIs: rate limits, retries, idempotency, and dropped callbacks.
• You have owned the path from code to production and instrumented it.
• A real practice around AI-assisted engineering. You have built around models and kept your judgment about code you did not write.
• You build internal tools without being asked, and you know what good looks like.
• You treat ambiguity as an opening.

Meaningful pluses

• Ledgers or double-entry systems
• Payments, trading, or regulated infrastructure
• Durable workflow orchestration (Temporal, Cadence, sagas)
• Terraform and infrastructure-as-code ownership
• Property-based testing, fuzzing, or fault injection
• TigerBeetle
• Build systems and CI performance work
• Load and performance engineering
• Security-minded platform work in a SOC 2 environment
• Crypto experience. If you spent a career on reconciliation, settlement, and clearing at a bank or payments company, your instincts transfer.

Our Values

• Be offended by the status quo. A payment taking 3 days and costing 3% is offensive. Every day that people use legacy financial infrastructure costs humanity time and money. Bring the future forward with righteous indignation.
• Be all over it. Operate with extreme urgency and accountability. Know the numbers, meet the right people, answer every email, go the extra mile. Ask yourself: can it be done today?
• We sell trust. Trust is easy to lose. Security and integrity are our foundation. Use every interaction and every product as a chance to build trust. This is non-negotiable.
• Do the dishes. We are all owners. Put ego aside and get shit done.
• Be the glue. Pick each other up and make each other better. Be direct, be helpful, and assume positive intent. Win as a team.
• We enjoy the crucible. We are on a mission to change money. It takes a lot of optimism to attack a goal this ambitious. Our opportunity is a privilege and we do not forget that, especially when the journey is hard.
