Rapid InnovationVadodara, IN1 day ago
Job descriptionOversee the evolution of our lending platform architecture for scalability, performance, and reliability. Enforce best-in-class security practices for handling customer crypto assets and financial data. Architect microservices, API layers, and event-driven components that integrate blockchain protocols, custodial solutions, and traditional banking systems. Implement CI / CD pipelines, Infrastructure-as-Code, and observability frameworks to maintain platform stability amid rapid feature development. Evaluate and adopt agentic coding frameworks and AI-assisted development tools. Identify opportunities to leverage AI / ML for risk assessment, process automation, and enhanced customer experiences. Prototype AI-driven features while ensuring compliance and security controls remain intact. Stay abreast of AI / ML and fintech trends, guiding the team on the practical adoption of emerging technologies. 7+ years in software development, with at least 3 years in engineering management. Proven track record in financial services, lending, or fintech platforms. Hands-on experience building and scaling production systems that handle high-volume financial transactions. History of on-time delivery of complex software projects and successful talent recruitment and retention. Proficiency in modern languages (Java, Python, TypeScript preferred). Deep experience with distributed systems, microservices, and cloud platforms (AWS / GCP / Azure). Familiarity with databases (MongoDB, PostgreSQL), messaging systems (Kafka), and caching solutions. Solid understanding of DevOps practices, CI / CD, and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, CloudFormation). Strong security mindset—especially for financial and blockchain applications. Working knowledge of crypto assets, blockchain technology, and smart contracts (ERC-20 focus). Understanding of custodial vs. self-custody solutions and lending mechanics (LTV, collateral, margin calls). Awareness of AML / KYC regulations and DeFi vs. centralized lending paradigms. Familiarity with AI / ML frameworks and agentic development tools. Insight into how LLMs and AI agents can accelerate development workflows. Knowledge of AI use cases in fintech (credit scoring, fraud detection, risk modeling). What Makes You Stand Out You’ve led engineering teams in highly regulated financial environments. You balance rapid innovation with the stability and security required for financial systems. You’re passionate about democratizing crypto and building accessible financial products. You’ve worked with real-time market data and automated decision engines. You have hands-on experience with custody solutions and securing digital assets. Key Responsibilities Lead sprint planning, code reviews, and architectural discussions. Define and enforce coding standards, security practices, and best-in-class development workflows. Ensure platform reliability (99.9%+ uptime) through monitoring, alerting, and incident management. Collaborate with stakeholders to translate business requirements into technical solutions and timelines. Drive technical debt remediation alongside continuous delivery of new capabilities. Evaluate and integrate third-party services (custodians, KYC providers, data feeds).
