- Design event‑driven architectures — using Kafka and asynchronous patterns to support reliable, traceable financial flows
- Apply Domain‑Driven Design — shaping clean domains, event models, and system boundaries that will scale with the business
- Collaborate deeply — working closely with product, engineering, and adjacent teams to turn complex financial requirements into working systems
- Lead through example — contributing to design and code reviews, mentoring peers, and raising the engineering bar without formal people management
- Support production systems — participating in on‑call rotations for critical financial workflows where accuracy and calm execution matter most

- Substantial backend engineering expertise with Kotlin and Spring Boot, building production‑grade services
- Demonstrated experience with event‑driven architectures and tools such as Kafka, especially for financial workflows
- Comfort designing systems using Domain‑Driven Design, clean domain boundaries, and explicit event models
- Ability to operate confidently in environments where errors have real consequences and quality cannot be compromised
