In this role, you will join a rapid experimentation team focused on building and scaling digital products in the social-financial space. You will not act as a “pure” coder, but as a technical driver with an end-to-end ownership mindset and the autonomous leadership capabilities to move experiments from a whiteboard sketch to a production environment. You will be the backbone of a cross-functional squad, leveraging AI-native technology such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Cursor to bypass traditional backend bottlenecks. Your focus will be on throughput and outcome, using modern tools to handle the heavy lifting so you can focus on system architecture, deployment strategy, and driving the team toward successful product iterations. You will work in an environment that blends the agility of Python and Django with the robustness of Java for integration, ensuring the experimentation platform remains both flexible and scalable.
