About the Role
We're hiring a Director of Software Engineering to lead a high-impact team driving the next generation of cloud-based clearing systems. This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll shape architecture, mentor top-tier engineers, and deliver highly scalable, event-driven solutions in a mission-critical environment.

  • Champion engineering excellence across CI/CD, DevOps, and system reliability


What You Bring
  • 8-10+ years building high-scale distributed systems
  • Strong Java background (Java 8+) with deep understanding of OOP, multithreading, and system design
  • Proven leadership experience managing 10+ engineers (including hiring, performance management, and mentorship)
  • Experience leading transformation initiatives (cloud, microservices, modernization)
  • Hands-on experience with Kafka or other event-streaming technologies
  • Exposure to AWS and modern DevOps tooling (Kubernetes, Terraform, Jenkins, etc.)
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field


Nice to Have
  • AWS certifications
  • Experience with monitoring tools like Splunk, Prometheus, or AppDynamics
  • Background in financial services or high-transaction environments
