  • Design APIs, data models, and system interactions that support long-term growth.

  • Guide teams on handling edge cases, failure scenarios, and observability.

Technical Strategy & Innovation
  • Identify system bottlenecks and drive scalable solutions.

  • Influence long-term technical strategy and roadmap.

  • Evaluate and introduce new technologies where they add meaningful value.

  • Improve monitoring, instrumentation, and system reliability practices.

  • Strong frontend expertise with:

    • React

  • Strong backend experience with:

    • Golang and/or Python

  • Deep experience designing distributed systems and scalable APIs.

  • Strong fundamentals in:

    • Data structures and algorithms

    • System design and architecture

    • Design patterns and trade-offs

  • Hands-on experience with AWS and cloud-native architectures.

  • Experience with SQL and NoSQL databases.

  • Strong debugging, performance optimization, and refactoring skills.

  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to influence technical decisions.

  • Fluent or native English (Spanish is a plus).

Nice to Have
  • Experience in payments, fintech, e-commerce, or transaction-heavy platforms.

  • Experience building high-availability, low-latency systems.

  • Familiarity with regulated environments (PCI-DSS, financial systems, etc.).
