About this role
Role Overview
Design and implement financial workflows across the full ledger system: account management, transaction processing, settlement, and legacy migration.
Build double-entry accounting logic where correctness is non-negotiable

Work with TigerBeetle, a purpose-built high-performance financial ledger database.
Use Temporal for durable, fault-tolerant financial workflows that must complete exactly once.
Define and maintain gRPC service contracts that other internal systems depend on.
Contribute to the live migration of millions of legacy transactions into the new system.
Write tests that prove financial correctness.
Requirements
7+ years of experience in the field but we care more about how you think than how long you've been doing it.

Understanding of distributed systems well enough to reason about failure modes, not just the happy path.
Comfortable with relational databases
you know what a query plan looks like.
Experience working on systems where a bug has real consequences
financial, infrastructure, medical, or similar.
