We hire for craft, not credentials

The engineers who built it.
In their own words.

Each card is a 30-second feature retrospective — what shipped, why it mattered, what came next.

Marcus Chen, staff engineer, smiling in office setting
Last shipped: ACH retry engine v3

Marcus Chen

Staff Engineer, Payments Core · 3 years

"I rewrote the ACH retry engine in Rust. It now handles 40K transactions per second without a single thread block. That's the kind of problem you don't get at most companies."

Jordan Webb, principal engineer, casual portrait
Last shipped: blue-green deploy v2

Jordan Webb

Principal Engineer, Infrastructure · 4 years

"We went from 45-minute deploy windows with 3 engineers on call to fully automated blue-green in 12 minutes. I wrote the runbook that made that possible."

Last shipped: CA garnishment hotfix

Priya Nair

Group PM, Compliance Platform · 2 years

"I own the tax engine roadmap. When California changed garnishment rules in 72 hours, my team shipped a hotfix in 4. That's what Series D velocity actually looks like."

Aaliyah Brooks, compliance engineer, professional photo
Last shipped: audit trail v4

Aaliyah Brooks

Compliance Engineer, FinOps · 2.5 years

"SOC 2 Type II isn't a checkbox here — it's infrastructure. I built the event sourcing layer that gives auditors a complete immutable history of every dollar moved."
