Computer Systems Engineer

Job Overview

About the Role

We are seeking a Computer Systems Engineer with specialized experience in designing, optimizing, and securing infrastructure for fintech platforms handling high-volume financial transactions. This role is deeply embedded in the design and evolution of mission-critical systems—real-time payment processing, risk analytics engines, and regulatory reporting pipelines.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect resilient systems that support low-latency, high-throughput financial operations (e.g., order routing, transaction settlement, fraud detection).

• Design and refine infrastructure for scalability, failover, and compliance with financial standards such as PCI DSS, SOC 2, and ISO 20022.

• Collaborate with DevOps and Site Reliability teams to deploy hardened cloud-native services using infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation) and container orchestration (Kubernetes).

• Optimize system performance by profiling compute and memory usage across microservices interacting with financial message buses (e.g., FIX, Kafka, gRPC).

• Lead the integration of secure enclaves, HSMs (hardware security modules), and key management workflows within cloud and on-prem hybrid environments.

• Implement audit-ready logging and event-driven monitoring for all critical systems to meet real-time observability and forensic standards.

• Participate in threat modeling and help establish secure communication between internal systems and external partners, including banks, payment processors, and regulatory gateways.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related technical field.

• 5+ years of systems engineering experience with at least 3 years in a regulated fintech or financial services environment.

• Proven expertise in high-availability systems and distributed system design, especially under compliance constraints.

• Hands-on experience with event-driven architecture, especially involving message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ) and stream processing (Flink, Spark Structured Streaming).

• Deep knowledge of cloud-native design (AWS preferred) and container security.

• Familiarity with transaction-level encryption, tokenization, and secure computation protocols (e.g., MPC, homomorphic encryption) is a strong advantage.

• Comfortable interpreting and contributing to architectural diagrams, audit trails, and risk documentation in regulated contexts.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with financial APIs and formats: FIX, ISO 8583, SWIFT MT/MX.

• Prior work in building or scaling systems for real-time payments, neobanking, crypto custody, or algorithmic trading.

• Ability to write clear, automation-friendly documentation for both engineering and compliance teams.

• Familiarity with zero-trust architectures and federated identity management.
