Senior Technical Practitioner - Financial Services
Senior Technical Practitioner — Financial Services
About the Opportunity
We are looking for a Senior Technical Practitioner to join a long-term engagement with a fast-growing, technology-driven financial services organization.
This is a highly senior, hands-on individual contributor opportunity for someone who can operate as a peer to experienced engineering teams, shape architecture, identify technical risks, and solve complex, ambiguous problems.
This is not a traditional staff-augmentation or ticket-delivery role. You will be expected to bring independent technical judgment, challenge assumptions, review architectural and engineering decisions, and transfer knowledge to the broader organization.
What You'll Do
• Work closely with senior engineering and technology stakeholders to solve complex, ambiguous technical problems.
• Shape and review architecture for highly scalable, secure, and reliable financial systems.
• Design and improve production-critical systems involving payments, transaction processing, banking infrastructure, ledgers, or related financial platforms.
• Investigate complex technical issues beyond surface-level troubleshooting and identify underlying risks and opportunities.
• Challenge technical assumptions and provide clear, actionable recommendations.
• Participate in architecture and code reviews with highly experienced engineers.
• Drive initiatives from problem definition through solution, without requiring detailed task decomposition or constant supervision.
• Help establish engineering best practices around reliability, security, observability, and operational excellence.
• Share expertise and mentor experienced engineers through hands-on collaboration and technical discussions.
• Operate comfortably in an environment where requirements may be evolving and problems are not always clearly defined.
What We're Looking For
• 15+ years of relevant software engineering experience.
• Proven experience operating at Staff, Principal, Architect, or equivalent senior individual-contributor level.
• Strong track record designing, building, and owning complex production systems.
• Deep experience within financial services, such as:
• Banking systems
• Payments infrastructure
• Transaction processing
• Ledgers and financial data systems
• Regulated financial infrastructure
• Other production-critical, high-stakes financial systems
• Strong AWS expertise, particularly in complex production environments.
• Hands-on experience with areas such as:
• Reliability and resilience
• Security
• Observability
• Infrastructure architecture
• Operating production workloads in regulated environments
• Ability to independently frame problems, investigate deeply, identify risks, and drive solutions.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work directly with highly experienced technical peers.
• Willingness to constructively challenge existing technical decisions when appropriate.
• Demonstrated ability to transfer knowledge and raise the technical capability of the wider engineering organization.
Particularly Relevant Experience
Experience with any of the following will be highly valuable:
• Cross-border payments
• International remittances
• Multi-currency systems
• Digital banking or fintech platforms
• Financial ledgers
• Payment processing at scale
• Regulated financial services environments
• Experience with regulatory frameworks such as ADGM, DFSA, FCA, EU equivalents, or comparable jurisdictions
What Success Looks Like
The successful candidate is someone who:
• Can take an undefined technical problem and create structure around it.
• Doesn't wait for problems to be fully decomposed before taking action.
• Has the technical depth to challenge decisions made by other senior engineers.
• Can identify risks that may not be immediately obvious.
• Makes pragmatic, technically sound recommendations.
• Has personally owned systems operating at meaningful production scale.
• Can move fluidly between hands-on engineering, architecture, technical review, and mentoring.
• Acts as a trusted technical peer rather than simply an execution resource.
