## Description

As a pure backend engineering team, we don't build UI components. Instead, we focus entirely on engineering robust, highly available, and secure distributed services. The team owns the end-to-end lifecycle of core banking entities, including:

 * Identity & Compliance: Automated customer onboarding and complex KYC workflows.
 * Ledger & Accounts: Scalable deposit account management systems.
 * Reporting: High-throughput data processing for reporting obligations, observability, and account statement generation., * Build and maintain the BaaS API services, including REST API and event-driven systems with a serverless architecture that other teams and partners depend on, making sure they're reliable and accurate.
 * Help shape how we solve problems: contribute ideas on how things should be built, weigh in on important decisions, and make sure we're building things the right way for the long term.
 * Keep our CI/CD processes healthy: spot when things are slow or breaking, and take action to make the team's day-to-day smoother and faster.
 * Drive architectural decisions and solution design within your domain, including writing technical solution designs, participating in threat modeling workshops, and collaborating cross-team on upstream/downstream dependencies.
 * Take ownership of production reliability by participating in an On-Call rotation, leading incident investigations, identifying root causes, and driving hotfixes, as the team does with live incidents on the platform.
 * Work with external partners and services we connect to, and take ownership when something on their side needs following up or resolving.
 * Keep our build, testing, and release processes healthy: spot when things are slow or breaking, and take action to make the team's day-to-day smoother and faster.
