- Build asynchronous, event-driven processing pipelines (queues, streams, schedulers, fan-out/fan-in orchestration)
- Develop APIs and services following strict contracts, clean domain boundaries, and robust error handling
- Embrace a “you build it – you run it” mindset: own your services end-to-end, including implementation, automated testing, deployment, monitoring, incident handling and continuous improvement
- Collaborate with SRE and Platform teams to ensure reliability, performance and cost-efficiency for millions of fine-grained processing tasks
- Participate actively in code reviews, technical discussions and design sessions, helping to shape the technical direction of the product
- Mentor and support colleagues, fostering a culture of learning, ownership and engineering excellence in the team
- Your initial project will be working on our investment performance engine, a highly mathematical business domain
- Master's degree or PhD in Computer Science or related field
- Strong modelling skills: historized data, revision control, effective dating, immutability, audit trails
- Solid applied mathematical skills, especially in discrete mathematics and complexity
- Experience with AWS cloud services (Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS, API Gateway, IAM) and event-driven architecture is a plus
- Comfortable working in a less structured, dynamic early-stage environment
- Willingness and ability to immerse yourself in the world of core banking, with its broad and challenging business domains
