Data and Data Engineering are at the heart of what we do.
Your Day To Day
Iterate within an Agile squad to turn product ideas into shippable increments across the entire stack—from Scala micro‑services to other languages.
Write idiomatic, reusable Scala with unit, property-based and integration tests; uphold quality through rigorous code reviews.
Deliver end-to-end solutions—from building APIs to touching frontend components, as needed.
Operate across the full SDLC—design, implement, test, deploy, observe, maintain and refine software services.
Collaborate closely with Product & Design to translate UX wireframes into accessible, performant interfaces and iterate based on customer feedback.
Champion engineering excellence by documenting decisions, sharing knowledge in guild sessions and mentoring peers across front- and back-end domains.
You Have & You Know-how
BSc/MSc in Computer Science (or equivalent) with strong algorithms, data-structures and distributed-systems fundamentals.
4+ years building production JVM back-ends with Scala as a primary language (Cats-Effect, ZIO, Akka, or similar).
Proven ability to develop high-performance, concurrent services and APIs (REST, gRPC, GraphQL, event-driven).
Hands-on with modern data & messaging platforms (Kafka, Spark/Flink, Cassandra/DynamoDB, RabbitMQ or Pulsar) and comfortable working with them at scale.
A growth mindset: curiosity, autonomy and the drive to learn, experiment and teach.
Nice to have Cloud expertise—AWS services, container orchestration (K8s/EKS), observability stacks, IaC and automated multi-environment deployments (back-end & front-end).
Nice to have experience with a modern data stack (e.g., Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery, DuckDB, dbt, Airflow, Dagster).
Nice to have frontend experience with React (or another modern JS framework) and TypeScript.
Product Team
The Product Team builds our product to disrupt the financial crime industry from a data-led approach. We partner with our clients using a holistic lens and have result-driven solutions to manage financial risk with a cloud-first platform and a world-class UX interface. Being part of this team, you have a voice in planning, strategizing, and challenging the status quo. Our fast-paced and open environment encourages us to lean in, try new things, and discover our potential. We define and act on what could be in tomorrow's world, not on what is today.
