Engineering management experience: You have at least a first experience managing engineers, either as an Engineering Manager, Tech Lead, or Team Lead.
Engineering background: You need to be credible in technical conversations across the area: how data flows through backend systems, where correctness constraints come from, and how technical decisions shape customer and operational outcomes.
Distributed systems experience: You're comfortable with event-driven architectures, asynchronous systems, and the trade-offs that come with them.
Comfort in regulated environments: You understand why correctness, auditability, and reliability are non-negotiable in financial systems, and what that means for how you build and operate them.
Clarity in complexity: You are comfortable creating structure in ambiguous environments.
Communication across audiences: You can explain a technical trade-off to an engineer, a PM, a Compliance lead, and a VP with the right level of detail for each audience.
Distributed and multicultural teams: You have experience working in remote or hybrid environments, with teams across different countries, cultures, and ways of working.
