  • Demonstrated history of guiding multiple software development groups and deploying complex, business-critical infrastructure.
  • Comprehensive technical mastery encompassing system design paradigms, enterprise architecture, and distributed system concepts.
  • Practical familiarity with REST APIs, SQL/NoSQL datastores, Redis caching mechanisms, and Kafka event streams.
  • Hands-on knowledge of cloud environments, Kubernetes orchestration, Docker containerization, automated CI/CD pipelines, and production operations monitoring.
  • Prior experience within payment processing platforms, financial software ecosystems, or high-volume transaction processing systems is strongly advantageous.
  • Preferred familiarity with Node.js or modern client-side technologies such as React or Vue.js.
  • Demonstrated skill in formulating technology strategy and rendering pragmatic architectural choices.
  • Exceptional self-governance and the capacity to operate with high autonomy.
  • Balanced product perspective that aligns short-term business priorities with long-term architectural stability.

Benefits:

  • 24 days of vacation per year;
  • Attractive office location and facilities.
