• Extensive experience in our tech stack: Rust, Docker, AWS, Terraform.
• Strong Rust proficiency (ownership, lifetimes, concurrency, async, error handling).
• Excellent systems thinking: latency, throughput, backpressure, and failure modes.
• Experience building high‑performance services in production.
• Experience with low‑latency systems.
• Strong analytical thinking, both in the technical and in the product domain.
• Excellent communication skills that are clear, concise, and targeted towards your audience - engineering, product, or other stakeholders.

• Experience using coding agents (e.g., Codex or similar AI-assisted development tools) is a plus.
• Experience with domain-driven design and distributed architectures and/or microservices is a plus.
• Background in financial services and exposure to compliance or audit requirements in financial systems is a strong plus.
