Staff Software Engineer Tech Lead Backend Platform Overseer
You will own the multi quarter technical strategy architecture and roadmap for the Overseer platform including the invariant definition framework real time detection engine and partner facing APIs. You will lead the design and execution of P0 initiatives end to end as the senior DRI responsible for delivery trade offs and organizational alignment across product groups. You will drive an architecture where every new product shipped accelerates the correctness layer rather than adding complexity guiding platform design across FinHub. You will shape engineering standards and technical culture through design reviews architectural RFCs and raising the bar on code quality and system reliability. You will partner with senior engineering and product leadership across product groups to align correctness requirements resolve cross team technical dependencies and define shared platform contracts. You will build next generation AI powered guardrails and real time invariant enforcement capabilities identifying opportunities to apply AI first approaches that scale correctness across the fund movement infrastructure.
