## About the Role

* Education & Minimum Experience Requirements: Bachelor's Degree + 2 Years of Experience building and maintaining backend services or distributed systems in production or Master's Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field without industry experience.
 * Proficiency in at least one modern programming language: Java, Kotlin, Go, or Python.
 * Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred, Azure or GCP acceptable), containers (Docker), and Kubernetes.
 * Experience with modern software delivery workflows: git, CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), and telemetry/observability tooling (e.g., Datadog, Prometheus).
 * Demonstrated commitment to operational ownership, attention to detail, and a team-first mindset., * Prior experience working on an infrastructure, platform, or developer-enablement team supporting internal engineering users.
 * Familiarity with file transfer systems (AWS Transfer Family, SFTP, FTPS), secure protocol integrations, or enterprise job automation.
 * Exposure to distributed workflow engines (Temporal, Cadence) or event-streaming architectures (Apache Kafka, WarpStream).
 * Basic exposure to financial services, banking operations, or regulated data handling.

## Description

* Build and ship core features for the net-new multi-region File Automation Platform, replacing legacy file transfer infrastructure with scalable, secure microservices.
 * Own a defined component or service slice end-to-end (e.g., protocol adapters, AWS Transfer Family/SFTP integrations, file validation, ingestion pipelines, and audit logging).
 * Write modular, tested, and maintainable backend code in Java, Kotlin, Go, or Python using established distributed patterns.
 * Partner closely with senior teammates in Seattle during design discussions to clarify requirements, define API boundaries, and implement edge-case handling.
 * Build with evidence: implement automated unit, integration, and contract tests, along with metrics, structured logging, and Datadog dashboards to ensure high operational observability.
 * Participate in code reviews, giving and receiving constructive peer feedback to raise software quality.
 * Join the operational on-call rotation: verify production changes carefully, diagnose common runtime failures using disciplined debugging practices, and apply staged, low-risk fixes.
 * Collaborate with internal application teams across Lending, Banking, Invest, and Credit Card to ensure smooth integration with platform tools.
