Jobgether
Technical Lead Engineer
TLDR
Lead architecture and hands-on development of a real-time financial platform, owning the core ledger, settlement engine, and reliability in a high-stakes, audit-ready system.
Accountabilities:
- Own and develop a financial-grade double-entry ledger system with strict correctness guarantees, ensuring every transaction is immutable, auditable, and fully reconcilable to the cent.
- Design and maintain deterministic system behavior through event sourcing, append-only logs, and snapshot-and-replay recovery mechanisms that guarantee system consistency.
- Define and enforce fail-safe system behavior across pricing, risk, and execution layers, ensuring unsafe states halt execution and trigger alerts rather than fail open.
- Own the settlement engine, including event-time sequencing, reconciliation logic, and controlled override or market-void processes when required.
- Architect and manage cloud infrastructure using Amazon Web Services, including Amazon EKS, Amazon RDS, and infrastructure-as-code with Terraform, ensuring high availability and multi-AZ resilience.
- Lead system-wide architecture decisions and enforce integration discipline across engineering streams to prevent divergence and maintain platform integrity.
- Manage and mentor a small senior engineering team across core platform, infrastructure, and engine domains, while actively contributing to hands-on development.
- Serve as a key technical decision-maker in stakeholder discussions, including scope definition, go/no-go decisions, and system risk evaluation.
- Ensure observability and reliability standards are met using SLO-driven monitoring and alerting systems for business-critical metrics.
- Extensive hands-on experience building financial, trading, exchange, or ledger-based systems where correctness, auditability, and determinism are core requirements.
- Deep expertise in double-entry accounting systems and immutable transaction-based architectures.
- Strong understanding and practical experience with event sourcing, CQRS, append-only logs, sequencing, and deterministic system design.
- Advanced knowledge of PostgreSQL including serializable isolation, replication, and high-availability configurations.
- Production experience with cloud infrastructure such as Amazon Web Services, Kubernetes-based deployments, and multi-AZ failover systems.
- Strong proficiency in TypeScript and Node.js, with experience building full-stack or platform-level systems in a typed, distributed architecture.
- Proven leadership experience guiding small senior teams and making critical technical trade-offs under pressure.
- Strong experience with real-time or low-latency systems such as matching engines or order-book architectures.
- Experience integrating real-time, authoritative data feeds and building systems with strict consistency requirements.
- Strong observability mindset, with experience using tools such as Datadog, PagerDuty, or Sentry to monitor system and business-critical signals.
- Clear, structured communication style, especially in high-stakes technical and stakeholder discussions.
- Familiarity with regulated environments, including compliance considerations such as KYC/AML or SOC 2 frameworks.
- Fully remote work with flexible working arrangements
- Opportunity to work with a global, high-performing engineering team
- Flexible working hours with autonomy over schedule
- Competitive compensation package aligned with market standards
- High-impact role with ownership over mission-critical systems
- Opportunity to shape architecture and technical direction of a complex platform
