Job Responsibility

Technology Vision & Strategy

Stabilize & ship v1 to GA: Own a hardening plan (3 months) to improve performance, reliability, and security; close P0/P1 gaps; and reach GA with clear exit criteria (SLOs, test coverage, audit readiness, runbooks, on-call).

Define the v2 roadmap (3-9 months): Set product/architecture goals for web2.5 (modular services, data/ledger integrity, MPC/HSM/KMS, observability), with monthly release trains and measurable outcomes (adoption, latency, incident rate, cost/tx).

End-to-End Delivery

Own SDLC, CI/CD, and release cadence across WaaS, invoicing/off-ramp, and card programs. Institute crisp Definition of Ready/Done, quality gates, and predictable sprints/quarterly planning.

People & Org

Build and mentor a high-performing, cross-border team (backend, frontend, mobile, DevOps/SRE, SecEng, QA). Set engineering career ladders, review cycles, documentation standards, and a blameless culture of learning.
