* Strong understanding of performance, scalability, and observability in backend systems
* Hands-on experience troubleshooting production issues, resolving customer-impacting bugs, and managing deployment pipelines

* Familiarity with FinTech concepts-especially ACH, wire transfers, and Positive Pay
* Experience building within a microservices architecture
* Exposure to tools and technologies like CI/CD pipelines, monitoring/observability stacks, Postgres, Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud platforms (Google Cloud Platform, AWS, or Azure)
* A self-starter mindset with the ability to work independently
* A strong sense of ownership-from shaping requirements with product managers to supporting your code in production
