* Support design outcomes through hands-on coding as needed
* Explore new technologies and help shape build vs. buy decisions
* Communicate tech strategy clearly to both engineers and non-tech stakeholders
* Build strong cross-functional relationships inside and outside the org
What You Bring
* 10+ years in software design and architecture, ideally across enterprise-grade systems
* Proven experience building SaaS platforms, public APIs, and real-time services
* Hands-on expertise in performance tuning and scalability (web apps + databases)
* Experience in the payments industry is a big bonus
* Ability to translate business needs into scalable, elegant technical solutions
* Strong communication skills, able to influence, mentor, and lead cross-functional teams
