 * Build and scale backend services that power onboarding, issuance, reserve accounting, and rewards distribution.
 * Partner with product, design, and tech leads to turn the stablecoin roadmap into shipped features every quarter.
 * Drive architectural decisions across the backend and smart contract surface, balancing security, scalability, and speed of delivery.
 * Write high-quality, well-tested code and raise the bar for operational excellence across the team.
