  • Define long-term system correctness strategy, including migration and backward-compatibility governance

  • Advise on institutional financial correctness and architectural discipline


Required Expertise

  • 12+ years in fintech architecture, core systems, or financial software engineering

  • Deep understanding of state management, transactional integrity, and financial correctness

  • Experience designing mission-critical, deterministic systems

  • Strong grasp of auditability, governance, and operational transparency

  • Experienced leading remote, senior engineering and architecture teams

  • Able to explain complex system behavior with clarity and authority
