## About the Role

* A track record of independently delivering complex, high-ambiguity projects with long-term impact, operating them in production and owning every line you ship.
 * Strong full-stack range in production - a modern backend (we work primarily in Python/Django and Go) and a component-based frontend (we use Vue) - with the judgment to know where a given problem is best solved and a genuine willingness to own whatever the feature needs, wherever it lives in the stack.
 * Hands-on experience building financial systems - user balances, ledgers, risk engines, settlement, onboarding/KYC, or payments - where correctness is non-negotiable and mistakes are expensive.
 * Strong design judgment: you enumerate the failure paths, name your invariants, and can point at the constraint, test, or alert that enforces each one.
 * Excellent communication: you drive alignment across teams and stakeholders, give substantive design-level review feedback, and mentor engineers to raise the bar around you.

## Description

* Lead the design and end-to-end delivery of features across the stack - from Prime backend services (settlement, on-exchange credit, lending, tokenized securities) through to the frontend and backoffice screens clients and ops teams rely on.
 * Own the client- and ops-facing journeys across the institutional lifecycle - onboarding, account configuration, reporting, and the tooling that lets operations run the business safely.
 * Author detailed designs and break work into reviewable steps, making failure states, invariants, and recovery explicit before you ship - on flows where a wrong answer moves real money.
 * Uplevel the team through design-focused code review and mentorship, and move fluidly between backend and frontend as the work demands rather than handing off at a boundary.
