Accountabilities
Platform Architecture and Engineering
- Design, build, and maintain shared backend capabilities that support multiple Fundiin products, channels, and bank/lender integrations.
- Evolve the existing backend toward domain-aligned services and a scalable platform architecture, including service boundaries, APIs, data models, event contracts, migration strategies, and backward compatibility.
- Build reusable platform services and standards for customer and bank/lender management, product configuration, application orchestration, transactions, notifications, reporting, and auditability.
- Define and maintain clear, versioned API and event contracts that enable product teams and external banks/lenders to integrate safely and efficiently.
- Make pragmatic architecture decisions that balance delivery speed, scalability, maintainability, cost, and operational risk.
Bank/Lender Integration Platform
- Design and enhance the integration layer for banks, lenders, payment providers, and merchants.
- Standardize bank/lender-specific behaviors behind stable platform contracts, including authentication, request and response mapping, webhooks, retries, timeouts, idempotency, reconciliation, and error handling.
- Improve bank/lender onboarding through reusable connectors, configuration-driven capabilities, integration documentation, test environments, and operational monitoring.
- Ensure transaction and application flows remain traceable, recoverable, and consistent across distributed systems and external dependencies.
Reliability, Security, and Operations
- Build services for high availability, resilience, performance, and safe degradation, with appropriate use of caching, asynchronous processing, circuit breakers, rate limits, and failure recovery patterns.
- Define and improve service-level indicators and objectives, dashboards, alerts, logs, metrics, and distributed tracing for critical platform journeys.
- Participate in incident response, root-cause analysis, capacity planning, and continuous improvement of production systems.
- Apply secure-by-design practices, including least-privilege access, secrets management, encryption, protection of personal and financial data, audit trails, and secure API design.
- Support internal security, risk, and compliance requirements through reliable controls, evidence, and traceability in platform services.
Data and Event Platform Enablement
- Partner with Data Engineering to define and implement reliable event and data contracts, schema evolution practices, and unified data models.

- Enable secure and reliable integration of AI/ML capabilities into platform services, including service contracts, access controls, observability, fallbacks, and protection of sensitive data.
- Improve data quality, lineage, observability, and ownership at the source while protecting sensitive customer and financial information.
Developer Experience and Engineering Excellence
- Improve the developer experience through shared libraries, service templates, CI/CD standards, automated testing, local development tooling, documentation, and self-service platform capabilities.
- Establish and promote engineering standards for code quality, API design, testing, observability, deployment, and production readiness.
- Automate repetitive engineering and operational workflows to reduce lead time, manual errors, and dependency on individual teams.
- Track platform adoption, reliability, and delivery effectiveness, and use these signals to prioritize platform improvements.
Cross-Functional Collaboration and Technical Leadership
- Work with Product, Engineering, Risk, Data, Security, Operations, and bank/lender-facing teams to translate business needs into scalable platform capabilities.
- Lead technical discovery, architecture discussions, design reviews, and implementation planning for complex cross-team initiatives.
- Mentor engineers, provide constructive code and design feedback, and help teams make sound technical trade-offs.
- Communicate technical decisions, risks, dependencies, and operational impacts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
