Company

hirify.global is a financial technology company with a newly acquired startup building an AI-enabled autonomous banking platform for Tier-1 financial institutions.

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 across design, implementation, testing, deployment, operation, and continuous improvement.
• Diagnose production failures across distributed services, data infrastructure, and event-driven workflows through on-call and incident response.
• Establish observability, alerting, operational controls, recovery procedures, and production-learning practices.
• Improve architecture, automated testing, CI/CD, safe deployment, rollback, recovery, and AI-assisted engineering workflows.

Requirements

• Deep experience designing and building complex distributed systems at scale using a strongly typed, compiled language; Go is preferred, while comparable language 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, and disaster recovery.
• Experience with automated testing, CI/CD, GitOps, and modern production-engineering practices.
• Ability to evaluate and clearly explain architectural trade-offs, communicate complex systems precisely, and work 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

• Full-time role with high autonomy and accountability within a small, senior team.
• Ownership of mission-critical systems operating at enterprise scale and supporting Tier-1 global institutions.
• Startup-level technical depth and ownership combined with hirify.global scale, stability, and enterprise resources.
• Opportunity to mentor, coach, share knowledge, and improve engineering practices across the organization.
