The Connectivity & Open Finance Team serves as the foundational pillar of our mission to engineer a data-driven financial ecosystem. We architect the critical infrastructure connecting thousands of financial institutions, facilitating secure, high-integrity, and standardized data exchange. Our engineers are currently leading the industry-wide transition from legacy data acquisition to sophisticated Financial Data Exchange (FDX) and FAPI-compliant API integrations, ensuring every platform interaction meets the highest standards of institutional security.

As we scale globally, the complexity of managing universal authentication standards (OAuth) and high-concurrency financial payloads necessitates a dedicated technical visionary. We are seeking a Lead Engineer who excels at the intersection of Ruby on Rails performance optimization and rigorous financial-grade security protocols.

As a Technical Lead, you will directly impact our growth by shortening the time-to-market for new financial partnerships.

  • Strategic Partnership: Collaborate with Security and DevOps to deliver automated Dynamic Client Registration (DCR) and self-healing connectivity pipelines.

  • Operational Analytics: Utilize Datadog to analyze system health, informing architectural iterations that reduce latency and maximize token refresh success rates.

  • Quality Advocacy: Drive quality standards by implementing consumer-driven contract testing (Pact) and ensuring total compliance with FDX certification suites.

 

3. Basic Qualifications (Must-Have)

  • 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, including 5+ years of hands-on expertise in Ruby on Rails within API-first ecosystems.

  • 3+ years in a Technical Leadership or Architectural role, specifically focused on OAuth or OpenID Connect implementations.

  • Sector Expertise: Extensive experience in heavily regulated industries (Fintech, Banking) with a proven track record in data privacy and security compliance.

  • Engineering Excellence: Expert proficiency with Git/GitHub workflows, including advanced branching strategies and rigorous peer code reviews.

  • Infrastructure Security: Ability to collaborate on infrastructure-as-code updates supporting Mutual TLS (mTLS) and secure certificate lifecycle management.

  • System Architecture: Proficient in application boilerplate development and high-level system design patterns.

  • Data Infrastructure: Advanced proficiency in managing high-volume financial datasets utilizing BigQuery and PostgreSQL.

 

4. Preferred Qualifications

  • Advanced Ruby Performance Tuning: Expertise in memory management and multi-threaded background processing for high-volume data ingestion.

  • Open Source Leadership: Active contributor to relevant Ruby gems or financial API standards bodies.

 

5. Technological Environment - Good to have experience

  • Cloud Management: Experience managing cloud-based API infrastructure within GCP, including load balancing and automated certificate rotation.
