Requirements
• We’re looking for an experienced Senior Software Engineer to join our Cable team, building core platform capabilities using Go (with some Python as needed) and to own meaningful, production-critical work. • You’ll deliver new features and products that automate financial compliance and banking operations at scale. As a senior engineer, you’ll design and implement major components across our stack, with data privacy, auditability, and large-scale bank data as core concerns. • Recent projects senior engineers have led include: • A new auth and SSO stack • A new notifications system • A major re-architecture of our data pipeline • A customer-facing AI feature that extracts structured signals from unstructured compliance documents • 6+ years of professional experience as a Software Engineer • Strong Go experience: you’ve built and operated production systems in Go • Comfort working with a TypeScript/React frontend • Experience with PostgreSQL or other relational databases • Experience with at least one major cloud provider, preferably Google Cloud • Experience designing and using RESTful APIs • Proven experience shipping customer-facing AI features in production (prompt design, evaluation, latency, cost, failure modes, human-in-the-loop) • Experience with event-driven or data-intensive systems (e.g., Pub/Sub, Kafka, message queues, stream processing) • A track record of architecting systems where data integrity, auditability, and reproducibility matter, ideally in a regulated or high-stakes domain • Comfort with both relational (Postgres) and analytical (BigQuery, ClickHouse, Snowflake) data stores • A pragmatic approach to complexity: you start with simple solutions and add sophistication only when needed • Experience in fintech, banking, or financial services, especially compliance, risk, payments, or BaaS, and an understanding of why correctness and audit trails are non-negotiable • Experience with rule engines, DSLs, or configuration-driven product surfaces where customers can compose behavior without writing code • Familiarity with dbt, Ent, Connect RPC, Protocol Buffers, or Pulumi-managed GKE deployments • Experience with Python / GitLab APIs / Google Cloud APIs • Experience on early-stage, fast-moving engineering teams • Familiarity with payment rails and financial systems • Preference for being based in, or spending time in, the San Francisco Bay Area for in-person collaboration • We value authentic, personal communication.
