Who you are

You have 8+ years of experience in software engineering, with a strong focus on building scalable financial systems — you've successfully led projects that involve complex monetary logic and user-friendly interfaces. Your expertise in Java and Python allows you to create robust applications that handle critical transactions seamlessly.

You thrive in collaborative environments, working closely with product and business teams to translate requirements into technical solutions. Your passion for innovation drives you to explore new ways to monetize products and improve pricing strategies.

You are a proactive problem solver who enjoys tackling challenges head-on — you have a knack for identifying potential issues before they arise and implementing solutions that prevent disruptions.
