About the Team + Role:
We are building an elite team, applying frontier technologies to the world’s biggest financial problems. We’re looking for bold thinkers. Sharp problem-solvers. Builders who are wired to make an impact.

- Containerize the Core: Lead the effort to containerize our monolith application, making the critical code adjustments required to modernize our deployment and scaling workflows.
- Robinhood Ecosystem Integration: Manage and execute high-priority integration projects that align Bitstamp’s backend with Robinhood’s global infrastructure.
- Evolve the Stack: Identify and implement backend improvements that enhance platform performance and reduce operational toil through intelligent automation (with and without AI).
