Company

hirify.global provides financial technology for banking and other financial institutions; this role sits within a newly acquired startup building an AI-enabled autonomous banking platform.

What you will do

• Build and evolve core banking capabilities covering products, accounts, transactions, transfers, journals, balances, interest, workflows, and compliance controls.
• Define reliable APIs, events, and data contracts for a coherent and auditable banking platform.
• Own services end to end from design and implementation through deployment, production operation, and continuous improvement.
• Diagnose distributed-system incidents and establish observability, alerting, recovery procedures, and operational controls.
• Design for correctness, auditability, scalability, and resilience at Tier-1 banking scale.
• Improve testing, CI/CD, safe deployment, rollback, recovery, and AI-assisted engineering practices while mentoring engineers.

Requirements

• Deep experience designing and building complex distributed systems at scale using a strongly typed, compiled language; Go is preferred, while comparable experience is accepted.
• Experience with event-driven architectures and technologies such as Kafka or equivalent streaming platforms.
• Strong understanding of concurrency, consistency, invariants, idempotency, failure modes, and distributed-system trade-offs.
• Substantial experience operating and debugging critical production systems, ideally including on-call and incident response across application, data, and infrastructure boundaries.
• Practical experience with observability, reliability engineering, capacity planning, deployment safety, disaster recovery, automated testing, CI/CD, GitOps, and modern production engineering.
• Ability to evaluate and clearly communicate architectural trade-offs, explain complex systems precisely, and collaborate across coding, architecture, operations, and cross-team delivery.
• Ability to use AI to amplify engineering expertise while retaining human ownership of design, validation, security, and production outcomes.

Culture & Benefits

• High autonomy and accountability within a small, senior team.
• Ownership of mission-critical systems operating at enterprise scale.
• Direct impact on banking capabilities shipped to and supported in production for Tier-1 global institutions.
• Startup-level technical depth and ownership combined with hirify.global scale, stability, and enterprise resources.
• Full-time employment with competitive compensation based on role, level, location, skills, experience, and education or training.
