Staff Engineer – Growth 

Job Description

REQUIREMENTS

• Around eight years building and running production systems, with a track record of owning a domain’s technical direction, not just delivering inside one.
• Deep, fluent expertise in Rust, with the versatility to work across TypeScript and React where verification meets the customer.
• You’ve set architecture other people build on, and it held up — you can point to specific classes of failure you designed out, not just incidents you fixed.
• You’ve made teams faster through patterns, tooling, or mentoring — engineers around you got better and shipped more because of calls you made.
• You’ve built where being wrong had real consequences: compliance, payments, security, or anywhere a bad call costs more than a rough user experience.
• Strong on distributed systems, service contracts, and secure design — you’ve integrated third-party APIs that couldn’t be trusted, with real timeouts, retries, idempotency, circuit breakers, and backup paths that actually get tested.
• Comfortable with, or able to quickly ramp on, gRPC, Temporal, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, MySQL/MariaDB, Redis, and GitLab CI.
  

Nice to haves

• Direct experience with KYC, KYB, or fraud work, including integrating providers like Trulioo, Persona, or ComplyAdvantage.
• Comfort building with AI in the loop.
• Time spent in crypto, fintech, or another space regulators pay close attention to.

RESPONSIBILITES

• Set the shape of the verification services and their contracts across the KYC/KYB flow.
• Decide how we abstract KYC and KYB vendors so a bad provider day doesn’t turn into an outage.
• Design fail-closed behavior and audit trails that hold up under regulatory scrutiny.
• Identify the classes of failure that keep recurring and remove them for good.
• Write and drive architecture decisions (ADRs), and hold the line on security and compliance at design time, not as a late gate.
• Mentor and raise the bar for senior engineers through design reviews, code, and direct feedback.
• Be measured on whether verification gets faster, more of it decides itself, fewer decisions are wrong, and the systems stay up — and on whether the team got stronger for you being on it.
