System Scalability & Performance Contribute to scaling efforts as our user base grows. Learn and apply caching strategies, help identify performance bottlenecks, and support the optimization of container-based applications under the guidance of senior engineers.

Infrastructure & DevOps Work with Docker and Kubernetes to containerize and deploy services. Contribute to CI/CD pipelines and develop a strong understanding of the full SDLC toolchain from local development through production.

Data & Integration Work with relational and NoSQL databases, collaborating with data engineers on implementation. Help build integrations with banking systems, payment processors, and financial data providers.

Security & Compliance Build with security in mind. Implement proper authentication, authorization, and encryption patterns. Develop an understanding of the regulatory context of fintech and how it shapes engineering decisions.

Collaboration & Growth Work closely with frontend engineers, product managers, and designers to deliver features. Participate actively in code reviews—both giving and receiving feedback. Learn from Principal and Senior engineers through pairing and architectural discussions.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
