About the company
Our client is a fast-growing technology company.
The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Own the reliability, scalability and correctness of a transaction-processing platform and its supporting infrastructure. You will work across system design, deployment pipelines and monitoring, reasoning from first principles as usage grows many times over.
What you'll do
- Own the core transaction-processing systems end to end, including ledger accuracy and reconciliation.
- Keep critical services reliable, correct and able to scale as usage grows significantly.
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and monitoring for production systems.
- Design systems that combine many third-party vendors and understand how each component fits together.
- Prioritize tests and engineering trade-offs sensibly in a fast-moving environment.
Requirements
What we're looking for
- At least 2 years of experience in distributed systems engineering.
- Strong system design skills, with a deep and holistic view of complex multi-vendor architectures.
- Experience with high data throughput workloads and some exposure to security.
- A habit of reasoning from first principles rather than rigidly applying past solutions.
- A strong sense of reliability and correctness under pressure.
- High agency and autonomy, comfortable in a flat, hands-on team.
- Comfortable using AI tools productively without depending on them.
- No prior payments or fintech background is required.
Bonus points
- Experience with fast scaling at a growth-stage company.
- Background on infrastructure teams at large cloud, trading or consumer technology companies.
