## Description

As we enter a new era, we're hiring an Engineer to help build the systems that will power Moment's next chapter.

We're building software for the leading financial institutions of the world, and the technical bar is high. Our systems move enormous volumes of data, demand real-time precision, and have to be both fast and irrefutable. The infrastructure we build is the foundation everything else stands on, and the decisions made today will define what's possible for years to come.

As an Engineer at Moment, you will architect and ship systems that solve genuinely hard problems - distributed systems at scale, event-driven pipelines, and data platforms that have to perform under the weight of the financial world. Moment will be a generational company, and you will help build the technical foundation that makes that possible.

You'll work closely with engineering leadership and across the team to deliver software that is as ambitious and distinctive as the company itself. This is a highly autonomous, collaborative role for a builder. You are equally comfortable designing systems and shipping code. You will navigate different levels of abstraction, from low-level performance work to architectural strategy. You can clearly articulate, lead, and execute technical projects spanning backend systems, data infrastructure, and product.
