  • Drive continuous integration and adoption of AI tools into the team’s development workflow to achieve demonstrable efficiency gains in code authoring and testing.

  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience engaging with and working side‑by‑side with Senior+ engineers from different organizations.
  • Expertise in integrating complex risk and abuse mitigation checks (such as Persistence Limiters, Factual Defects, or third‑party Risk Assessor calls) directly within core transactional flows.
  • Proven ability to lead and coach junior engineers on the team.
  • Proven background implementing and enforcing core transaction tenets such as idempotency and atomicity in distributed service architectures.
  • For San Francisco, CA‑based roles : The base salary range for this role is USD$198,000 per year - USD$220,000 per year.
