- Fiat Payments: Building and maintaining robust fiat rails such as ACH, RTP, FedNow, RFP in the US, and SEPA in Europe.
- Banking Infrastructure: Direct API integrations with top-tier banking partners.
- Treasury Management: Developing sophisticated software to autonomously manage and reconcile balances across banking networks.

Responsibilities
- Lead the architectural design and hands-on development of our global fiat payment rails (ACH, RTP, FedNow, Request for Pay, and SEPA).
- Architect, implement, and scale seamless API integrations into our banking partners' systems.
- Design and build robust treasury management software for internal operations, allowing programmatic liquidity management and automated balance transfers between partner banks.

- Strong expertise in SQL and complex database schema design for high-throughput, ACID-compliant financial ledgers.
- Hands-on experience developing, integrating, and maintaining resilient connections with bank APIs and third-party payment processors.

- Excellent problem-solving skills; you can systematically troubleshoot complex distributed systems.
- Comfort with ambiguity; the ability to independently lay out and test clear hypotheses, and solve architectural problems without well-defined direction.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
Preferred Qualifications
