Staff Software Engineer

Job Overview

The Smart Money Tracking Team builds and operates core treasury infrastructure powering internal funds movement, balance verification, money reconciliation, and transactions reporting.

As a Staff Software Engineer, you'll own complex, often ambiguous technical problems end-to-end: designing event-driven systems, partnering with platform teams, and setting the technical and engineering-practice bar for the team.

Responsibilities

• Own the technical design and delivery of complex, cross-system initiatives spanning balance verification, scheduled rule execution, and event-driven reconciliation.
• Partner with platform teams to translate business requirements into robust, well-tested system designs.
• Build and maintain production-grade services with rigorous automated test coverage.
• Author and maintain architecture decision records and technical specs, keeping design and implementation in sync throughout delivery.
• Provide technical leadership and code review for the team, modeling strong engineering practices and mentoring other engineers.
• Proactively identify and communicate delivery risk, with clear recommendations and recovery plans.
• Operate effectively through ambiguity, investigate open questions, document assumptions, and drive stakeholders toward decisions rather than waiting for full clarity.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, with demonstrated staff-level ownership of complex, distributed systems.
• Strong proficiency in Java and the Spring ecosystem; experience with Kafka or stream-processing frameworks (e.g., Flink) is a plus.
• Experience designing and operating event-driven, high-reliability financial or transactional systems.
• Deep commitment to automated testing practices, including integration and end-to-end testing as part of the delivery lifecycle.
• Experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL or similar) and schema/migration management in production systems.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to document design decisions clearly and drive alignment across engineering and business stakeholders.
• Demonstrated track record of proactively identifying and managing delivery risk, with strong ownership from design through production.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
