Job Summary
You own technical delivery end-to-end. You lead the three developers and co-write the Go
backend with the Senior Go Engineer. You personally own the most critical systems — the core
ledger, funds-movement logic, and provider integrations — review every PR, set the
architecture, and own the AWS infrastructure and the security/compliance posture. This is a
hands-on leadership role, not a pure management seat.
What you will own
The critical financial systems: the double-entry ledger, funds-movement and treasury
logic, and the custody / card-issuer / KYC provider adapters.
Architecture and standards: the modular-monolith design, the adapter pattern, the
outbox and reconciliation model.
Every PR: code review, technical risk, and delivery quality.
AWS infrastructure: ECS Fargate, RDS, ElastiCache, ALB — provisioned with
Terraform.
Security and compliance posture: PCI DSS controls, PII encryption, key management,
audit logging.
The team: sprint planning, mentoring, performance, and stakeholder expectations.
