Responsibilities

Ensure high reliability and correctness for Treasury's core systems — the ledger, payment origination, card settlement, reconciliation, and financial controls
Lead delivery of new features and capabilities across money movement, accounting, and reporting surfaces
Raise the bar on operational excellence: observability, incident response, on-call readiness, and pragmatic reliability improvements
Own initiatives from planning to launch, keeping stakeholders informed and aligned along the way
Partner closely with Product and cross-functional stakeholders to clarify requirements early and keep engineering time focused on the highest-impact work
Lead efforts to improve systems, processes, and documentation so new team members can ramp quickly
Participate in and help evolve the team's on-call rotation

Experience managing and growing engineers, including coaching, feedback, and hiring
Strong technical judgment and system design skills, especially for high-reliability systems with strict correctness requirements
Comfort staying close to the work — this is a player-coach role where the manager can unblock, review designs, and occasionally contribute hands-on when needed
Experience shipping and operating production services, with a bias toward measurable reliability and pragmatic iteration
Experience with or interest in learning financial infrastructure — payment rails, ledger systems, reconciliation, or similar domains
Experience with Python and AWS (or closely related stacks), and an ability to ramp quickly where the stack is unfamiliar
Strong cross-functional communication skills and an ability to keep teams aligned under time pressure
Growth mindset and continuous desire to learn and improve
An interest in fintech and payments is preferred.
