## About the Role

* Strong Python, and SQL well past CRUD

 * You use AI tooling hard, and you are ruthless about reviewing what it writes (Cursor, ClaudeCode, Codex, etc..)

## Description

Something meaningful, in an industry that quietly touches billions of lives and almost nobody thinks about. The work inside it is slow, manual and consequential and the decisions being made every day deserve to be faster, more consistent, and easier to stand behind.

THE ROLE - you will build it end to end:

 * The pipeline - S3, SQS, ECS Fargate, containerised Python workers
 * The record - S3 Object Lock, hash-chained audit events, KMS
 * Multi-tenancy - PostgreSQL row-level security, IAM, SSO
 * The application - TypeScript, React, interactive charts over very large datasets
 * The self-serve layer - schema design, immutable versioning, approval workflows
 * The plumbing - Terraform or CDK, CI that blocks regressions, monitoring
