  • At least 1 year of experience in an early-stage or small startup.

  • Strong coding skills and a track record of shipping and iterating on reliable software.

  • A high level of ownership and comfort working in new problem spaces without a playbook.

  • Interest in building core banking systems and financial infrastructure.

  • Experience with banking systems or financial infrastructure is valuable.
